imagine的用法大全.doc

精品文檔1. imagine 是及物動詞，后面可跟名詞，代詞，動名詞和從句作賓語。例如：He is eighty-four years old and yesterday the Department of Education gave him a medal for having completed sixty years of teaching. Sixty years! Can you imagine it?（高二冊，第一頁）Imagine his surprise when he found that his beard was a foot longer than it had been before!可以想象一下，他發(fā)現(xiàn)他的胡子比以前長了一尺時該多么吃驚??！You may imagine their astonishment at finding the room empty.We never imagined that John would become a doctor.我們從來沒有想象過，約翰居然會成為一個醫(yī)生。I cant imagine what was happened.我無法想象出了什么事。You cant imagine how I missed the bird.2. Imagine 后跟動詞時，動詞須用動名詞的形式。如：Try to imagine being on the moon.設(shè)想一下在月球上的情形。I cant imagine lying like that. I would go crazy.She imagined walking into the office and telling everyone what she thought of them.他想象著自己走進(jìn)辦公室并告訴每個人她對他們有何看法這樣一幅情景。在下面一句中，動名詞前面出現(xiàn)了邏輯主語：Can you imagine me my being so stupid?你以為我如此愚蠢嗎？Would you ever have imagined him/his becoming a politician?你想到過他會成為一個政治家嗎？3. imagine后面還可以跟復(fù)合賓語，如：1）imagine+名詞/代詞+名詞The boy likes to imagine himself a flyer.那孩子喜歡想象自己是個飛行員。2）imagine+名詞/代詞+形容詞Imagine yourself rich and famous.設(shè)想一下你自己既有錢又有名的情形。3）imagine+名詞/代詞+介詞短語Imagine yourself in his place.4) imagine+名詞/代詞+分詞He imagined himself lying summer evening, buried deep among the weeds beneath the tree.她想象自己在一個夏季的夜晚，躺在樹下深密的草叢中。Can you imagine George cooking the dinner?你能想象喬治做飯的樣子嗎？在上一例中，朗文現(xiàn)代英漢雙解詞典是把cooking作為賓語補足語的。即同于下例中的cooking：He watched mother cooking the dinner.但是，它與下例中的sailing在功能上又有什么不同之處呢？I can hardly imagine Peter/Peters sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in five days.在這里，sailing是動名詞，為什么在上面的句子中卻是分詞呢？這一點對學(xué)生們來說并不十分重要，但語法學(xué)者尚須做出明確的答復(fù)。imagine后可以用不定式作賓語補足語，當(dāng)筆者認(rèn)為這里的不定式似乎一般只是to be。這從下面的例子中可以得到初步證實。Imagine yourself (to be) rich and famous. (朗文現(xiàn)代英語雙解詞典)Our producers should constantly imagine themselves to be in the consumers position.我們的生產(chǎn)單位要經(jīng)常設(shè)身處地地為用戶著想。（新英漢詞典）Imagine yourself （to be） in his place. (現(xiàn)代英語用法詞典)本文開頭提到打那篇文章的作者只引用了一個例證：Dont imagine yourself to be always correct. (英語常用動詞用法詞典)而這個例子中，作賓語補足語的不定式還是to be。由此可知，高考題中的答案自然是C,B和D不應(yīng)是正確答案。4. imagine 后跟帶有as的賓語補足語前面我們敘述了imagine后跟復(fù)合賓語的各種情形。但是，在有些賓語補足語前也可以用as。如：I had imagined you as a big tall man.我原以為你是一個高大個兒。He imagine himself as the saviour of his country.他把自己想象成為國家的救星。I imagined him as being older5. imagine 一般不用于進(jìn)行時，但現(xiàn)代英語用法詞典中卻出現(xiàn)了下面的句子：Hes always imagining dangers that dont exist.他總是想象一些并不存在的危險。顯然，這里的進(jìn)行時因與always連用，故帶有特定的感情色彩。這種用法高一英語第一冊第一課中學(xué)過（He said when a person is learning a foreign language, he must
