常后接to do sth和for [of] doing sth的名詞

時(shí)間: 若木631 分享

  1. capacity 能力,才能

  表示做某事的能力,capacity后可接 to do sth, for doing sth, of doing sth。如:

  He has a great capacity for enjoying himself. 他很會(huì)想辦法自得其樂。

  Her capacity to remember facts is remarkable. 她的記憶力很驚人。

  The boy shows a great capacity to learn [of learning, for learning] languages. 這孩子顯露出學(xué)習(xí)語言的卓越能力。

  2. means 方式,方法,手段;財(cái)力,金錢

  (1) 表示做某事的財(cái)力,其后通常接不定式,且尤其見于have the means to do sth這一結(jié)構(gòu)。如:

  He doesn’t have the means to support a wife and child. 他沒有錢養(yǎng)活妻子和孩子。

  Small businesses don’t have the means to develop a sophisticated Internet presence. 小企業(yè)通常沒有財(cái)力投資建設(shè)復(fù)雜的因特網(wǎng)平臺(tái)。

  (2) 表示做某事的方法,means后通常接of doing sth。如:

  We had no means of warning them. 我們沒有辦法警告他們。

  There is no means of finding out what happened. 無法弄清發(fā)生了什么事情。

  Can you devise a means of overcoming the problem? 你能想出法子來解決這個(gè)難題嗎?

  有時(shí)也可后接不定式,但不如后接of doing sth常見。如:

  My English teacher provided me with the means to enjoy reading poetry. 我的英語老師告訴了我欣賞詩歌的方法。

  另外,有時(shí)也可后接 for doing sth,也不如用of doing sth 常見。如:

  It’s an effective means for finding qualified job applicants. 這是尋找合適求職者的有效方法。

  3. responsibility

  (1) 表示做某事的責(zé)任或負(fù)責(zé)做某事,其后通常接of [for] doing sth,而不接不定式。如:

  Mr Smith will take the responsibility of [for] doing the experiment. 史密斯先生將負(fù)責(zé)做這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)。

  She is charged with the responsibility of [for] receiving callers and answering letters. 她被安排負(fù)責(zé)接待來訪者和回信。

  (2) 但是,在have [feel] a responsibility結(jié)構(gòu)后可以接不定式。如:

  Every citizen has a responsibility to vote. 每個(gè)公民都有投票選舉的責(zé)任。

  They have a responsibility to discover which wives have walked out on their husbands. 他們有責(zé)任找出哪些妻子拋棄了丈夫。

  注:類似下面這樣的句子,responsibility后面的不定式不是定語,而是句子主語:

  To my mind it’s the government’s responsibility to help these people. 依我看幫助這些人是政府的責(zé)任。
