suggest用法及练习题
suggest 是个及物动词,后面可以跟名词、代词、动词 -ing 形式或从句作它的宾语。各种试题对 suggest 的考查通常涉及到它的非谓语动词形式、宾语从句及宾语从句的虚拟语气等方面。下面就结合历年高考试题,对 suggest 的用法作一小结。
考点一、 suggest 作“间接表明;建议;使想起”解时,后面可以跟名词、代词或动词 -ing 形式作宾语。例如:
① That girl's sun-tanned face suggests excellent health. 那个姑娘被太阳晒黑了的脸表明她身体非常健康。
② Mr. Smith suggested a way out of the difficulty. 史密斯先生提出了一个克服困难的办法。
③ An explanation suddenly suggested itself to me. 一种解释突然出现在我的脑海里。
④ I have written him a letter and suggested his sending it to the Ministry of Culture. 我给他写了一封信,并建议他把它寄给文化部。
suggest 后面可以跟“ to sb to do sth ”结构。其中的介词 to 不能省略。动词不定式短语 to do sth 作宾语补足语。例如:
⑤ Who suggested to you to do it this way? 谁提出要你这样做的?
考点二、 suggest 作“建议”解,而且后面跟 that 从句作宾语时,宾语从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“( should )动词原形”。例如:
① Almost all his friends suggested that he visit Mr. Johnson at once.
② —— The experiment has failed!
---- I suggest you try again.
考点三、 suggest 作“表明、说明、暗示、指出”解,而且后面跟 that 从句作宾语时,宾语从句中的谓语动词用陈述语气。例如:
① He often came to the theater, but his attitude suggested he was not really interested in the play.
② Jane's pale face suggested that she was ill, and her parents suggested that she have a medical examination.
例②中第一个 suggested 作“表明、说明”解,所以其后的宾语从句的谓语动词用陈述语气;第二个 suggested 的意思是“建议”,所以其后的宾语从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气,其中的 should 被省略了。
考点四、在下列含 suggest 的句式中,如果 suggest 表示“建议”时,其后的宾语从句的谓语动词仍然用虚拟语气。
句式一、 It's suggested that…… (有人建议……)例如:
① It's suggested that we ( should ) put on a short play at the party. 有人建议我们在晚会上演一个短剧。
② It has been suggested that Robert should go to Chicago and try to find a job there. 有人建议罗伯特到芝加哥去,设法在那里找个工作。
句式二、 What ( All that ) sb. suggests is that…… (某人建议的是……)例如:
① What I suggest is that we visit a class right away. 我的建议是我们马上去听课。
② What she suggested was that the clinic should make better use of those herbs. 她建议医疗站更好地利用那些草药。
考点五、名词 suggestion 的用法。
suggestion 作“建议”解,后面跟同位语从句时,以及 suggestion 用作主语,后面跟表语从句时,从句中的谓语动词均用虚拟语气。例如:
① My suggestion is that the work should be started at once. 我的建议是立即动工。
② The monitor's suggestion that she should come another day has not been accepted. 班长提出的她改天来的建议还是没有被接受。
