动词不定式作定语和结果状语
要义详析:
一、动词不定式作定语
动词不定式由“to+动词原形”构成。这里的to是不定式标志, 没有词义。
动词不定式作定语常用来修饰名词或不定代词, 放于所修饰的词后, 为后置定语。这类名词有chance, way, opportunity, right(权利), dream, ambition, time, power等。
*I am so busy that I have no time to inform him of the incident in detail.
我是如此忙以至于我没有时间详细地告诉他这个事情。
*I have the power to call on others to donate money to charities.
我有能力号召其他人捐钱给慈善机构。
名师点津:
如果不定式动词与被修饰词之间有逻辑上的动宾关系, 并且该动词是不及物动词, 则需要加上适当的介词或副词与前面的名词相呼应。但place, time, way后不定式的介词常省略。
*The Browns have a comfortable house to live in.
布朗一家有一幢舒适的房子可以居住。
*The old man is looking for a quiet place to live.
老人正在找一个安静的地方住。

二、动词不定式作结果状语
1. 动词不定式表示结果时, 其逻辑主语就是句子的主语。结果状语常常只限于learn (得知), find (发现), see, hear, to be told (被告知), make (使得), turn out to be 等具有界限含义的动词。
*He returned home to learn his daughter had just been rescued.
他回家后得知女儿刚刚被救了。
