2021年suggest用法归纳

关于suggest用法及常用错点归纳
陕西延川中学：刘富祥
【摘要】：动词suggest有两层含义,可表达“建议,建议”或“暗示,表白”。

后接名词、动名词、含疑问词不定式或从句。

作“建议,建议”讲时,宾语从句要用虚拟语调。

但不能接不定式或复合宾语。

下面分述如下：一、它用法。

二、常用错误。

【核心词】：不定式动名词复合宾语虚拟语调用法宾语从句建议建议错点
(一)动词suggest有如下某些用法:
一、有“建议”意思。

advise、propose也有此意，请比较它们用法异同：
（1）都可接名词做宾语
She suggested/advised/proposed an early start.她建议早一点出发。

We suggested/advised/proposed a visit to the museum the next day.
咱们建议明天去参观博物馆。

（2)都可接动名词做宾语
I suggested/advised/proposed putting off the sports meets.
我建议将运动会延期。

They suggested/advised/proposed waiting until the proper time.
她们建议(咱们)等到恰当时机才行动。

（3)都可接that宾语从句，that从句用should+动词原形，should可以省略。

She suggested/advised/proposed that the class meeting (should)not be held on Saturday.她建议班会不要在星期六举办。

We suggested/advised/proposed that he (should) go and make an apology to his teacher.咱们建议她去向教师道歉。

（4)advise可接动词不定式复合宾语，propose可接不定式做宾语。

I advised him to give up the foolish idea.=I suggested/proposed his/him giving up the foolish idea.我建议她放弃那愚蠢念头。

(suggest和propose在口语里可接动名词复合宾语)。

We proposed to start early.=We proposed starting early.咱们建议早一点出发。

(接不定式不用suggest和advise)
二、有“提出”意思。

如：He suggested a different plan to his boss.
她向老板提出了一种不同筹划。

Xiao Wang suggested a way to solve the problem.小王提出了一种解决这个问题办法。

三、有“暗示、表白”意思，其主语往往是事物，而不是人。

（1)接名词或动名词做宾语。

The simple house suggested a modest income.这座简朴房子表白(房主)收入并不高。

Her pale face suggested bad health.她脸色苍白，看来身体不好。

The thought of summer suggests swimming.
一想到夏天，就使人们联想到游泳。

（2)接宾语从句，从句用陈述语调。

如：
I suggested that she should go home. 我建议她回家去。

The decision suggested that he might bring his family. 这个决定表白她可以把家属带来。

The expression on his face suggested that he was very angry.
她脸上表情表白她很气愤。

四、在主语从句It is suggested that…及名词suggestion背面表达详细建议
表语从句、同位语从句都应用should+动词原形，should可以省略。

如：It was suggested that we (should) give a performance at the party.
人们建议咱们在晚会上表演节目。

His suggestion was that the debts (should) be paid off first.
她建议是先把债务还清。

The doctors made a suggestion that the new hospital (should) not be set up on the hill.医生们建议不要把新医院建在山上。

(二)使用suggest用法及使用错点
错点一误用不定式作宾语
要表达汉语“建议做某事”，英语通惯用 suggest doing sth，而不能用 suggest to
do sth。

如：
她建议坐飞机去，可我以为这样耗费太大。

正：He suggested going by plane，but I thought it would cost too much.
误：He suggested to go by plane，but I thought it would cost too much.
汤姆建议把房子卖了，但是安表达反对。

正：Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it.
正：Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it.
错点二误接不定式复合构造作宾语
汉语普通说“建议某人做某事”，但英语习惯上不能说 suggest sb to do sth，而说suggest sb’s /sb doing sth。

也就是说，suggest 后不但不接不定式，并且也不接不定
式复合构造。

如：她建议咱们早点动身。

正：He suggested that we leave earlier.
误：He suggested us to leave earlier.
固然，咱们也可以用后接 that 从句形式来表达此意思(注意谓语用“should+动词
原形”这样虚拟语调形式)。

如：
I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now. 我建议咱们当前就吃午饭。

He suggests that we should all go to see the film. 她建议咱们都去看电影。

比较如下同义表达：
她建议她们在没有听到事实真相之前什么都别说。

正：He suggested (should) not saying anything till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested saying nothing about it till they heard the facts.
正：He suggested that they shouldn’t say anything till they heard the facts.
错点三混用其后宾语从句语调
suggest 后接宾语从句时，从谓语既可用陈述语调，也可用虚拟语调，其区别与suggest所示意思关于：
1. 若suggest 表达“建议”，则其后接 that 从句谓语通惯用“(should)+动词原形”
这样虚拟语调形式。

如：
I suggested that she should go home. 我建议她回家去。

She suggested that I (should) be the leader. 她建议由我来做领导人。

2. 若suggest 表达“暗示”“意指”“表白”等义，则其后接 that 从句要用陈述语调。

如：
What he said suggested that he was a cheat. 她说话表白她是个骗子。

Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job?你意思是说我不适合做这
工作?
错点四其后误接双宾语
要表达向某人提出某状况，suggest后不能接双宾语，即不能用suggest sb sth，而
通惯用 suggest sth to sb。

如：
我向她提出一种解决问题办法。

正：I suggested a way out to her.
误：I suggested her a way out.
若其中直接宾语比较复杂(例如是that 从句)时，可考虑改用 suggest to sb sth。

如：
我向她建议咱们应当用另一种方式解决这个问题。

正：I suggested to him that we should tackle the problem another way.
误：I suggested him that we should tackle the problem another way.
错点五忽视有关派生名词有关用法
按英语习惯，suggest派生名词suggestion也具备与其词根动词相似用法，如当suggestion表达“建议”时，若其后接一种that引导宾语从句，则该从句也习惯上要用“should+动词原形”这样虚拟语调。

如：
The suggestion that shops should open on Sundays led to a heated discussion.
关于商店星期日也应当营业建议，引起了激烈争论。

There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team.
有一项建议是布朗应当离队。

1.He nodded his head and smiled
which suggested that he______what I said.
A：would understand B:had understood
C:should understand D:has understood
这里suggest可不可以表达暗示? 答：选B
解析：可用于表坚持，建议，规定，命令等词后宾语从句中，其构造为：should+动词原形，其中should可省。

如：
He suggested that we (should) start off early the next day.
注意：suggest表达“暗示，表白”之意时，不用虚拟语调，用陈述语调。

如：
The smile on his face suggested that he was satisfied with our work.
在本题中suggest为“暗示”意思，因此应排除虚拟语调形式，由于suggest是过去式，依照题意，宾语从句应当用过去完毕时。

应选取B.
