选择题Would you please pass me the knife(to cut the watermelon with)?
Would you please pass me the knife_________?
A.to cut the watermelon with
B.to cut the watermelon
C.cutting the watermelon
D.cutting the watermelon with
why?
答
答案是A,这是一定没错的
这句话的意思是说 你能把那把用于切西瓜的刀递给我吗?
这里to cut the watermelon with是不定式做后置定语修饰the knife,不定式做后置定语时,不定式必须可以接宾语,这里the knife做with的宾语
很多人选B是因为把原句理解成“把刀递给我切西瓜”,to cut the watermelon就成了目的状语,但是不要忘记,这是英语,主语是you,如果这样,那切西瓜的人到底是you还是I呢?
