在句子中,用來補充說明賓語的成分稱為賓語補足語。形容詞、動詞不定式、名詞、分詞等經(jīng)常充當賓語補足語。英語中有些及物動詞接了賓語后,句子表達的意思還不是很完整,需要接賓語補足語來補充說明,以使句子意思表達完整明了。賓語和賓語補足語一起合稱為“復合賓語”。讓我們一起來總結一下“make+賓語+賓語補足語”的結構吧。
一、make+賓語+形容詞
這種結構表示的意思為“使……處于某種狀態(tài)”。賓語補足語用來修飾事物的性質或人所處的狀態(tài)。常用表示情感的happy,sad等或表示狀態(tài)的, strong, nervous等充當賓補。例如:
The news made him very happy. 這個消息使他非常高興。
Too much wine makes men drunk. 喝太多的酒會使人醉的。
二、make+賓語+名詞
這種結構表示的意思為“使……成為……”,“讓……當……”。例如:
The movie made her a star. 那部電影使她成了明星。
They made Obama the president of the United States. 他們使奧巴馬成為美國總統(tǒng)。
三、make+賓語+過去分詞
在這種結構中,賓語往往是反身代詞,賓語和賓語補足語之間是被動關系。例如:
I made myself understood by all the students in the low grades. 我得讓低年級的所有學生明白我的意思。
Can you make yourself understood in English? 你能用英語清楚地表達你的意思嗎?
四、make+賓語+不定式
這種結構的意思為“(迫)使某人做某事”。make用作使役動詞,即意為“使得”時,后若接動詞不定式作賓語補足語,不定式符號to習慣上被省略。例如:
She always makes me laugh. 她總是讓我發(fā)笑。
The hostess made us all feel quite at home. 女主人讓我們感覺像在家里一樣。
特別提示: 在make sb. do sth的被動結構中,要加上to,即sb. be made to do sth.。例如:
They were made to sit and wait for two hours. 他們被迫坐著等了兩個小時。
Children should be made to understand the importance of table manners. 應該讓孩子們明白餐桌禮儀的重要性。
五、make+賓語+現(xiàn)在分詞
這種結構表示的意思為“使(讓)某人一直處于某種狀態(tài)”。后接現(xiàn)在分詞作賓語補足語,表示動作正在發(fā)生或進行?,F(xiàn)在分詞與賓語之間存在邏輯上的主謂關系。例如:
His mother made him standing all the time. 他的媽媽讓他一直站著。
