汉语可说建议或提议某人做某事,但英语不能说propose sb to do sth,因为propose后习惯上不接不定式的复合结构。要表示类似意思,可改用后接that从句的形式。如: 我建议约翰奥里利先生任主席。 误:I propose Mr John OLeary to be the chairman. 正:I propose that Mr John OLeary should be the chairman. 他建议政府调查这个案件。 误:He proposed the Government to investigate the case. 正:He proposed that the Government should investigate the case. |
