高中英语新旧教材不同观点比较(12)
2023-06-03 来源:旧番剧
Have you any other book[books] on this subject?(Palmer)(《现代英语用法词典》,重排本,张道真)
Aren"t there any other doctors?就没有别的医生了吗?(《现代英语惯用法词典》,费致德)
十二、It"s no good to do something
旧观点:在It"s no good/no use/useless/useful等之后要用v-ing形式,不用不定式。
新观点:在It"s no good/no use/useless/useful等之后常用v-ing形式,也可用不定式。例如:
It is no good to read without full understanding.(SEFC 2A P.33)
Do you think it would be any good to try and see her tomorrow?(Hemingway)(《现代英语用法词典》,重排本,张道真)
I knew it was no good to say anything,so I stood by Mog.(Mis)(同上)
But what good was it to talk to him?(Greene)(同上)
It is no use your running away.[It is no use for you to run away.](ELD)(同上)
We"re decided that it"s no use to worry,Dinny.(Galsworthy)(同上)
There is no use in complaining(of complaining,to complain)(《现代英语惯用法词典》,费致德)
笔者的看法是,尽管It"s no use to do something.这种结构存在,但其使用率远远不如It"s no use doing something,尤其是成语或谚语中的v-ing形式不宜改为不定式。
It"s no use crying over split milk.覆水难收。
因此,下面这道题应该选AD。
