關閉窗口 使用suggest的常見錯點
錯點一 誤用不定式作賓語
要表示漢語的“建議做某事”，英語通常用 suggest doing sth，而不能用 suggest to do sth。如：
他建議坐飛機去，可我認為這樣花費太大。
正：He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
誤：He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much.
湯姆建議把房子賣了，但是安表示反對。
正：Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.
正：Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it.
錯點二 誤接不定式的復合結構作賓語
漢語通常說“建議某人做某事”，但英語習慣上不能說 suggest sb to do sth，而說suggest sb’s [sb] doing sth。也就是說，suggest 后不僅不接不定式，而且也不接不定式的復合結構。如：
他建議我們早點動身。
正：He suggested that we leave earlier.
誤：He suggested us to leave earlier.
當然，我們也可以用后接 that 從句的形式來表達此意思(注意謂語用 “should+動詞原形”這樣的虛擬語氣形式)。如：
I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now. 我建議我們現在就吃午飯。
He suggests that we should all go to see the film. 他建議我們都去看電影。
比較以下同義表達：
他建議他們在沒有聽到事實真相之前什么都別說。
正：He suggested (should) not saying anything till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested saying nothing about it till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested that they shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.
錯點三 混用其后賓語從句的語氣
suggest 后接賓語從句時，從謂語既可用陳述語氣，也可用虛擬語氣，其區別與 suggest所表示的意思有關：
1. 若suggest 表示“建議”，則其后接的 that 從句謂語通常用“(should)+動詞原形”這樣的虛擬語氣形式。如：
I suggested that she should go home. 我建議她回家去。
She suggested that I (should) be the leader. 她提議由我來做領導人。
2. 若suggest 表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等義，則其后接的 that 從句要用陳述語氣。如：
What he said suggested that he was a cheat. 他說的話表明他是個騙子。
Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job? 你的意思是說我不適合做這工作?
