以下是引用christinahong在2003-12-12 18:58:00的发言:以下是引用Snazzy在2003-12-11 23:25:00的发言: hi, Christina, thanks for ur message. here is the point: 1, require sb to do sth 2, require that + subjuctive mood(don't use SHOULD, only a verb) 3, require sth of sb
u must be familiar with 1 and 2. so i only explain what 3 means here, sb 是宾语sth的逻辑主语, eg, You required some suggestion of me on the usage of the verb require. Here, it's I who will give u the suggestion. Got it? Pls feel free to ask.
我觉得:require sth of sb中sth与 sb是一种从属关系,expenditures of firms , GG的例子:some suggestion of me ,这里用了a of b的所有格,sb是紧跟其后的to do 的逻辑主语,不是require的宾语sth的逻辑主语。 请Snazzy GG再指教!:) require of 确实有这个用法啊,而且用语正式的书面语中,虽然一般词典上没有,但是 New York Times上有下面这些句子: The oath required of the Oklahoma state employers read in part: In adjusting these provisions, however, tile reserves required of trust companies ... This is required of us by the agreements that we are party to and that We have signed. This is required of us by the values which bind us together. 有了上面的用法,我认为可以有 require of sb. sth.这种双宾语结构(有贴讨论,附在下面),这样原句的主动态就可以理解为to survive requires of firms R&D expenditures,变为被动态 R&D expenditures are required of firms to survive,其中to survive 作宾语补足语。欢迎指正。 附:http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1152705 ,虽然不能说权威,读完帖子后,你会感觉可信度很高。主要内容摘抄如下:
require from vs. require of
Is there any difference? Which is the correct form? Example: "the client will require from the architect all plans..." or "the client will require of the architect...." Muchas gracias, Marialex |
