| 词组 | promise |
| 释义 | 1．promise 不论用作名词或动词，后面接不定式。例如：She has made a promise to return the violin in the evening.和 She has promised to return the violin in the evening.第一句里的 to return 不可改作 of returning，第二句里的 to return 不可改作 returning。 2．promise 跟 consent 不可混用，如下面两句意思不同： He has promised to give a lecture.（他已经允诺作一次演讲［不一定预先被人请求］。） He has consented to give a lecture.（他已经同意作一次演讲［一定预先被人请求］。） promise 着重在“约束自己”，不含“应允他人的请求”的意思。说自己的“遵命”和他人的“首肯”都不可用 promise。请求对方做什么事不可说 Will you promise to...? 3．promise 跟 permit 或 permission 不可混用，如下面每组里的两句意思大不同： 4．He has promised his daughter a fountain pen for her birthday 和 He has promised a fountain pen to her daughter for her birthday 都可以说。 5．用 promise 该注意别犯双重被动的毛病，如不可说 The lecture has been promised to be given at eight o'clock，可以把 has been promised 改作 is。 6．注意下面第一句里用 will，第二句里用 would，第三句里用 shall，第四句里用 should，第五句里用 shall，第六句里用 should： He has promised that he will help me. He promised that he would help me. He has promised that I shall have his help. He promised that I should have his help. He has promised that help shall be given me. He promised that help should be given me. 第一句里用 will，第二句里用 would，因为在直接引语里是 I will help you。第三句里用 shall，第四句里用 should，因为在直接引语里是 You（或 He，或 She）shall have my help。第五句里用 shall，第六句里用 should，因为在直接引语里是 Help shall be given you（或 him，或 her）。 promise 用作名词也是这样。例如： I hope he will keep his promise that he will help me. He kept his promise that he would help me. I hope he will keep his promise that I shall have his help. He kept his promise that I should have his help. I hope he will keep his promise that help shall be given me. He kept his promise that help should be given me. 7．下面两句意思相同： I'll warn him once more, I promise you.（我向你保证，我要再警告他一次。） I'll warn him once more, I promise you that. |
