OG145

1.        Most state constitutions now mandate that the state budget be balanced each year.

(A) mandate that the state budget be balanced

(B) mandate the state budget to be balanced

（A）

OG中说Mandate x to be balanced是ungrammatical的，查了一下longman，明明有mandate to do sth，如 The President was elected with a clear mandate to tackle violent crime。是不是mandate只能有to do,没有mandate  sth to be done?

另外问一下，当从句和不定式看起来都对的时候（如这题），一般是不是优先选从句的表达？

mandate X to do 表达错；

从句和不定式的区别使用没有定式，因题而异；

mandate通常＋宾从表达madate的内容；

longman，明明有mandate to do sth-----〉这个mandate是名词。

而且mandate to do sth和mandate sb to do不一样。mandate sb to do不可以。

longman:

to give someone the right or power to do something
The committee was mandated to co-ordinate measures to help Poland.

so mandate x to do sth.

mandate that
Justice mandates that we should treat all candidates equally.

好奇怪

up up

仔细推敲一下,B答案并不是mandate x to do sth的形式.而是mandate sth to be done.显然x是mandate所支配的对象,而sth不是mandate所支配的对象.B答案有瑕疵就不足为奇了.
