tastegood还是tastetobegood
请看下面一道题:The boy said that the fish his mother cooked tasted _________.
A. good B. well C. to be good D. to be well
答案B答案、D比较容易排除,因为其中的 well 是副词。但到底是应选A还是C呢,许多同学凭感觉认为 taste to be good 似乎很通顺,于是选了C。其实,错了,正确答案应是A。原因是用作连系动词的 taste 后习惯上不接to be。如:我昨天买的橘子味道不错。
正:The oranges I bought yesterday tasted nice. 误:The oranges I bought yesterday tasted to be nice. 类似地,feel, smell, sound 等连系动词后习惯上也不接不定式 to be。如:他说的话听起来很有道理。
正:What he said sounded reasonable.误:What he said sounded to be reasonable.这些花很香。正:The flowers smell sweet.误:The flowers smell to be sweet.比较:seem, appear, prove, turn out, continue 等连系动词后可以接不定式 to be,也可省略 to be。如:
他似乎很疲倦了。
她似乎很生气。The news turned out (to be) false. The news turned out (to be) false. 那消息结果是假的。The weather continued (to be ) fine. 天气仍然很好。
