make [误] The little boy was made repeat the whole story. [正] The little boy was made to repeat the whole story. [误] The father made his son to do his homework from morning till night. [正] The father made his son do his homework from morning till night. [析] make 的句型为make somebody do (doing) something.但在被动语态中原来被省去的不定式符号to要被还原回来。 [误] I always do this mistake. [正] I always make this mistake. [析] 英语中do和make是十分不易弄清的两个动词，do常用于谈论工作时或某种不确定的活动时，如： do a favour(帮个忙)，do ones best(竭尽全力)，do good(有益)， do harm(有害)，而多数情况下常用make, 如： make a suggestion, make a cake, make a bed(收拾床)，make a noise, make money等等。 [误] This wine was made of grapes. [正] This wine was made from grapes. [析] 当成品制成后，其原料的性质有所改变时应用make from，否则用make of， 如： This door was made of iron. [误] Hard work can often make up a lack of intelligence. [正] Hard work can often make up for a lack of intelligence. [析] make up是创造、编织，而make up for是弥补的不足之处。上句应译为勤奋工作可以弥补天资的不足。 |
