英語可說taste to be嗎? 請看下面的考題：The boy said that the fish his mother cooked tasted _________.A. good??????????????????? B. well????????????????????? C. to be good????????????????????????????????? D. to be well【分析】按英語語法，連系動詞后通常接形容詞作表語，而不接副詞，據(jù)此可以排除選項(xiàng)B和D。但到底是應(yīng)選A還是C呢？許多同學(xué)憑感覺認(rèn)為 taste to be good 似乎很通順，于是選了C。但是，錯了，正確答案應(yīng)是A。原因是用作連系動詞的 taste 后習(xí)慣上不接to be。如：這棵樹上的蘋果味道很好。正：The apples from this tree taste delicious. 誤：The apples from this tree taste to be delicious.類似地，feel, smell, sound 等連系動詞后習(xí)慣上也不接不定式 to be。如： to be你的想法聽起來很好。正：Your idea sounds a good one.誤：Your idea sounds to be a good one.玫瑰發(fā)出香氣。正：Roses smell sweet.誤：Roses smell to be sweet.比較：seem, appear, prove, turn out, continue 等連系動詞后可以接不定式 to be，也可省略 to be。如：。如：She seems (to be) a little tired. 她似乎有點(diǎn)累。He appears (to be) quite young. 他顯得年輕。The examination turned out (to be) quite easy. 結(jié)果考試相當(dāng)容易。The weather continued (to be ) fine. 天氣仍然很好。注：用作連系動詞的 look 后能否接 to be，各語法家意見不一：有的認(rèn)為可接to be，有的認(rèn)為不能接 to be。為此，建議同學(xué)們以不接 to be 為宜。
