三、可以用分词作主语或宾语补足语的动词
要会使用分词作补足语,必须记住哪些动词可以接分词充当补足语。
1. 感官动词 feel,hear,listen to,see,watch,notice,observe,look at(一感二听五看)及 find 等既可以接现在分词又可以接过去分词充当补足语。如:
If you wave your book in front of your face, you can feel the air moving against your face.
The air can be felt moving against your face, if you wave your book in front of your face.
The next morning she found the man lying in bed, dead.
The next morning the man was found lying in bed, dead.
2.表示“致使”动词 get,have,leave 等既可以接现在分词又可以接过去分词充当补足语。
--Good morning. Can I help you?
--I'd like to have the package weighed, madam.(MET89)
3. 表示“意欲;命令”的动词如 like,want,wish,order等常接过去分词充当补足语。如:
You must tell us exactly what you would like done. 你必须准确地告诉我们该做什么。
The father wants his daughter taught the piano. 这位父亲想让女儿学钢琴。
I wish it done quickly. 我希望很快将此事做完。
注意:set,start,catch 常跟现在分词作宾语补足语,make 常跟过去分词作宾语补足语。如:
set sb. thinking, start sb. coughing,
He looked around and caught a man putting his hand into the pocket of a passenger.(2004年北京春季卷)
The speaker raised his voice but still couldn't make himself heard. (NMET91)
典例精析:
1. I smell something ___________ in the kitchen. Can I call you back in a minute? (2007全国I)
A. burning B. burnt C. being burnt D. to be burnt
答案:A。
解析:smell something burning“闻着什么东西在燃烧而发出糊味”强调这个动作正在进行。burning 作宾语补足语。something burnt “烧焦了的东西”表示一种状态。所以选 A。
2. After a knock at the door, the child heard his mother's voice ______ him. (2007年上海卷)
A. calling B. called C. being called D. to call
答案:A。
解析:hear sb. doing sth. 意为“听到某人在做某事”。动词 ing表示主动,the child heard his mother's voice calling him表示“孩子听见他母亲喊他”。hear sth. done 表示“听见某事被做了”。所以选 A。
3. Jenny hopes that Mr. Smith will suggest a good way to have her written English _____ in a short period. (2007年福建卷)
A. improved B. improving C. to improve D. improve
答案:A。
解析:have sth. done 表示“使某事被做”,have her written English improved “使她的书面英语得到提高”。动词 ed 形式作宾语补足语表示被动。have sb. doing sth. 意为“使某人一直在做某事”表主动。have sb. do sth. 意为“使某人做某事”表主动,do 前必须省略 to。所以选 A。
4. -- Did Peter fix the computer himself?
-- He ______, because he doesn't know much about computers. (2007安徽)
A. has it fixed B. had fixed it C. had it fixed D. fixed it
答案:C。
解析:have sth. done 表示“使某事被做或请别人做某事”,动词 ed 形式作宾语补足语表示被动。由 because he doesn't know much about computers 可判断出,他找别人维修了电脑。所以选 C。
