be sure的用法有多少
对be sure的用法常感困惑不解,现将其主要用法归纳如下。

1.be sure+of/about+动名词或名词,意为“确信……”;“对……有把握”。

但在接名词时,be sure of侧重指主语对某抽象事物的确信无疑;而besure about则侧重指主语对某具体事物的确信无疑。

例如:
He is sure of success.他自信会成功的。

I'm sure of his honesty.我肯定他是诚实的。

However,he went on to explain that he was not sure about two things—thegrammar and some of the idioms.不过,他接着就解释说,他在语法和某些习惯用语方面都没多大把握。

If you are not sure about the situation in the world,you can read the newspaper every day.如果你对世界形势不大了解,你可以每天看看报纸。

若后面要接反身代词,则只能用be sure of,即be sure of oneself,意为“有自信心”。

例如:
Joan will sit for an important examination next week,but she is not sure of herself.琼下周要参加一个重要考试,但她对自己没有十分把握。

2.be sure+不定式,表示说话人对句子主语作出的判断,认为句子主语“必定”、“必然会”、“准会”如何如何。

例如:
It is sure to rain.天一定会下雨。

He is sure to have known about that.他准会知道那件事。

He told me I was sure to get a warm welcome.他告诉我,说我准会受到热情接待的。

然而be sure to do用在祈使句中,不是表示判断,而是表示对对方的要求,意为“务必要”,“一定要”。

例如:
Be sure not to forget it!千万别忘记呀!
Be sure to send my regards to your mother.务必代我问候你母亲。

Be sure not to do that again.一定不要再干那种事了。

3.be sure+宾语从句,表示主句主语对宾语从句中涉及的事物所作出的判断,意为“确信某事一定会……”。

例如:
I'm not sure whether I've met him before.我不能确定以前是否见到过他。

We are sure he will make great progress this term.我们确信他这学期一定会取得巨大进步。

sure一词在中学英语中是一个常见的词,但你对它的用法掌握了多少呢?本期我们就来谈谈sure 的一些用法。

1. 用作形容词
1)常用于be sure of, be sure to do, be sure that 结构中。

例如:
You may be sure of his honesty. /You may be sure that he is honest. 你可以确信他的诚实。

I‘m sure of winning the game. 我有把握能赢得比赛。

He is sure to be back soon. 他一定会很快回来。

Be sure not to forget it. 千万别忘了。

注:be sure of 与be sure to do的区别:
be sure of 和be sure that一样,主语是人,主语感到“有把握;确信”;be sure to do的主语可以是人,也可以是物,表示说话人推测“一定;必然会”。

例如:
He is sure of his success. /He is sure that he will succeed. 他确信他会成功。

He is sure to succeed. 他一定会成功。

(说话人的看法)
2)make sure of/ make sure about /make sure that /make sure to do有“弄清楚;查明”之意。

例如:
She made sure that she turned off the light. 她确定她已关灯了。

Make sure to lock the door before you go out.出去之前一定要锁上门。

另外,常见的与sure相关的短语还有:be sure of oneself 有自信心,for sure的确;确实地。

2. 用作副词
主要用于口语,此时的“Sure.”相当于“Of course.” 与“Certainly.”。
