在英语中介宾结构是什么意思?介词后面的必须叫宾语吗?
介词宾语通常是用名词、代词、动名词、名词性从句等词类或结构表示的.但是,形容词、副词、介词短语、动词不定式等词类或结构在一定的情况下也可充当介词宾语.
A.不定式作介词宾语.可接不定式作宾语的介词有about,besides,but,except,save,instead of等.例如:
As I was about to say,you interrupted me.我正要说的时候,你插嘴了.
Autumn harvest was about to start.快要秋收了.
介词but,except,besides,save后的不定式,何时要带to,何时不带to,主要从三个方面去辨别.(1)当这些介词前面的句中出现了用作谓语的实义动词do时,其后的不定式就不带to;(2)当这些介词前面的非谓语部分有不定式to do时,其后的不定式符号to可用可不用;(3)当这些介词前面(即谓语动词或非谓语动词部分)无动词do时,其后要接带to的动词不定式.请再比较以下几例:
What could he do but take back what he had said?他除了收回他说的话外,还有别的什么办法?
“疑问词+不定式”构成的不定式短语,可用作任何介词的宾语.例如:
Everyone had his own idea of how to do it.任何人对如何做这件事都有不同的看法.
He gave a lesson on how to improve soil.他讲了一堂如何改良土壤的课.
B.形容词作介词宾语.可用形容词作宾语的介词有but,from,instead of,near等.例如:
My work is far from good (satisfactory/ complete.)我的工作离好(满意/完成)还差得很远.
It is anything but bad.这不是什么坏事.
Things went from bad to worse until Dickens' father was imprisoned for debt.情况越来越坏,直到狄更斯的父亲因负债而被关进监牢.
形容词作介词宾语还见于一些固定的习语中,这类习语常见的有at large,for the better,in short,in vain,like mad,on high等.例如:
We had to drive like mad to get there on time.我们只得尽快开车,以便能按时到达那里.
The policemen know who the culprit is,but they have not located him.He is still at large.警察知道罪犯是谁,但还没有查到他在何处,他仍逍遥法外.
C.副词作宾语.可用副词作宾语的介词有except,from,instead of,till等.例如:
Where are you from?你从何处来?
He has been studying hard except recently.他一直学习很刻苦,只是最近才不这样.
在from now (then),till now (then),for long,by far等习语中,都是副词做介词宾语.例如:
He will not remain for long.他不会呆得太久.
That will do for now.We will have a rest,and finish the job later.暂时干这些就够了.我们休息一下,等会儿再完成这项工作.
All property formerly belonging to the reactionaries is from now on the property of the people.以前属于反动派的一切财产,从今以后都是人民的了.
D.介词短语作介词宾语.可用介词短语作宾语的介词有across,except,from,instead of,since,to,till等.例如:
He usually goes to school on his bike except on rainy days.除了雨天,他通常都是骑自行车上学.
The cat appeared from under the table.猫从桌子下面出来了.
关于介词短语作宾语的用法,可参见6.1 B.
E.whether,that从句作宾语.由连接代词(如what,which,who等)或连接副词(如how,where,why等)引导的名词性从句作介词宾语是一种比较普遍的现象.在实际应用中,由纯连词whether或that引导的从句也可用作介词宾语,其中that引导的从句只能用在except,but,in,save等少数几个介词之后.例如:
He hesitated (as to) whether he would go to see her.他拿不定主意是否要去见她.
The molecules of ice and vapour are exactly the same,except that they move at different speeds.冰与水蒸汽的分子完全一样,只是它们运动的速度不同.
关于“介词+that从句”结构,有的语法家将其视为介词短语,其中的that从句用作介词的宾语;有的语法家则认为“介词+that”应看作复合从属连词.我们认为,这两种理解都有一定的道理,只不过前者主要是从语法形式上来看,而后者则是从语法意义上来看的.请分别从形式和意义上去理解以下几句:
Although the dividends are the same,this is the better investment in that it is a safe stock.虽然红利相同,但是这笔投资要好些,因为它的股票更为保险.
介词从某种程度上来可以理解为动词,而动词又可以作为谓语,所以介词后面接名词,就叫做介词宾语。所以说介词宾语当然要接宾语(名词)。
