| 释义 | 1．用作“帮助”解的时候，help 后面接不定式或宾语和不定式，不可接动名词，如可以说 This book will help to improve your English 和 This book will help you to improve your English。不可说 This book will help improving your English。那不定式的 to 往往省去，如 This book will help improve your English 和 This book will help you improve your English。这种省略在美国比在英国普通。但当 helped 用在被动语态的时候，后面的不定式的 to 不可省去。例如：You will be helped to improve your English. 不可说 This book will help your improving your English，也不可说 This book will help you improving your English，该改作 This book will help you in improving your English。 照上面看来，下面两句都可以说： This book will help to improve your English. This book will help improve your English. 下面三句也都可以说： This book will help you to improve your English. This book will help you improve your English. This book will help you in improving your English. 但下面两句里的 to 通常不省去： This book will help to use（或 write，或 speak，或 read）English. This book will help you to use（或 write，或 speak，或 read）English. 因为书只能 improve，却不能 use, write, speak 或 read。比较下面四句，第四句不很自然： He helped me to plant trees. He helped me plant trees. His advice helped me to plant trees. His advice helped me plant trees. 2．在用作“避免”解的时候，help 后面接动名词，不可接不定式，如可以说 I cannot help thinking so，不可说 I cannot help to think so。 3．cannot help（不能避免、不得不）后面接动名词和 cannot but 后面接没有 to 的不定式意思相同，如 I cannot help thinking so 和 I cannot but think so。第一种形式比第二种形式通俗。也有人在 cannot help but 后面接没有 to 的不定式。例如：I cannot help but think so. 主要用在美国。 4．照字面讲，下面两句都不对（两句都作“请尽量少说话”解）： Don't talk more than you can help. Talk as little as you can help. 照理该把第一句里的 can 改作 cannot，把第二句里的 help 去掉。但事实上这两句都合乎习惯，而且第一句里用了 cannot 反而不自然。假使要兼顾习惯和理论，该把第一句里 can help 改作 need 或 must，或者把 more than you can help 改作 too much 或 unnecessarily。 5．help 在美国往往指“佣工”，指一个或多个都有，往往看不出指一个或多个，如 His help is a young man 里的 help 指一个，All his help are young men 里的 help 指多个，但 His help left him last week 里的 help 看不出指一个或多个。all his help 和 all his helps 意思相同。有时用a help。 help 这种用法原来是为了避免 servant 等单词。 6．with（或 without）the help of others 里用 of，有 the, with（或 without）help from others 里用 from，没有 the。 7．Will ¥ 50 be (of) any help? 和 I'm afraid the book will not be (of) much help to you 等句子里的 of 用的少，不用的多。 |
