商务英语:什么情况下to可以加动词
EX.I look forward to talking to you on Friday afternoon.例句:我期待下周五与你的谈话.As the example above shows,sometimes it is correct to use “to” plus the –ing form of a verb.从例句里我们可以看到,有时“to”也可以加动词-ing形式.Many non-native English speakers are reluctant to use –ing after “to”.Maybe this is because you learnt at school that after “to” a verb should always be in the infinitive.许多非英语国家的人都不喜欢在“to”后面加动词-ing形式.这可能是因为你们学校里的老师告诉你们“to”后面一般都跟动词不定式.This is only half true.“To” actually has two uses – EITHER as an infinitive marker (e.g.The Company wishes to purchase the shares),OR as a preposition (e.g.He has gone to lunch).其实不然.事实上“to”有两种用法,一种是动词不定式的标志(比如:这家公司想要收购股份.),另一种,用作介词.(比如:他去吃饭了.) When “to” acts as a preposition it is usually followed by an –ing form (which in this case is a gerund) or a noun/noun phrase,as in these examples:当“to”作介词时,后面通常会跟着动词-ing形式(动名词)或者名词/名词词组,比如:EX1.There is no obstacle to registering the company.EX2.There is no obstacle to the registration of the company.例句:注册这家公司没有困难.EX1.I do not recommend committing yourself to purchasing the shares yet.EX2.I do not recommend committing yourself to the purchase of the shares yet.例句:我现在还不建议你去收购那些股份.EX1.I look forward to hearing from you.EX2.I look forward to your reply.例句:我期待你的回复.There are,of course,exceptions to this rule.The next post looks at these.当然,“to”加动词-ing也有例外的时候.敬请期待下次更新.
