Ask Learn闻问切英语口语:Suggest

读者 Kelvin 问:以下句子中 suggest 有什么用法?

A spokesperson for the university suggests choosing a campus that offers a vibrant multicultural experience.

Suggest 是建议、提议的意思,后面可以连接名词。小宝生病了,医生建议多休息:"The doctor suggested some rest",这里 rest 作名词用。Kelvin 句中的 choosing 是 choose 的现在分词,可当名词用。

另外,我们也可以说 "The doctor suggested that Bo should rest",或更多时把这句简化为 "The doctor suggested Bo rest"。要注意,这里的 rest 是动词,但由于它是从 should rest 演化出来,因此,尽管句子所描绘的事件是发生在以前,rest 还是保留在不定式。

初学的人有时以 infinitive 来表达建议句式,写成 "The doctor suggested Bo to rest",这是一个常见的错误,要特别留心。
