【问】 You can recommend some books to the students. (Gurrey)

这个句子能否写成：

You can recommend the students to some books.

【答】 recommend sth.to sb.和recommend sb.to sth.这两个结构都是正确的，只是前者用得多一些。下面便是一个例证：

Henley has also recommended me to Chambers’ Encyclopaedia for Irish subjects.(Yeats)关于爱尔兰问题，享利还向我推荐了钱伯斯百科全书。
