在《及物动词不需要介词》一文中，谈到及物动词不需要通过介词引进宾语。但是，当及物动词有两个宾语时，有些无须介词，有些则需要。 两个宾路都无须介词的动词包括下列这些： ① Please show me the letter. ② Can you buy me a meal? ③ I will give you the latest newsletter. ④ John has sent Betty a cheque of $1000. 在①-④这样的句子里，有个直接宾语，也有个间接宾语。前者一定是物、后者一定是人。它们之间不需要介词作桥梁。另一些双宾语的动词，就需要介词的帮助了。关于这点，可以分四方面来谈。 Ⅰ.两个宾语可通过不同介词对换位置，如： ①a. The boss entrusted him with the job. b. The boss entrusted the job to him. ②a. He tried to impress the new idea on us. b. He tried to impress us with the new idea. ③a. A general should inspire his soldiers with great courage. b. A general should inspire great courage in his soldiers. Ⅱ.不同介词，不同意思，如： ④a. Who introduced John to you? b. Who introduced John into the new office? |
