問(wèn): I hate to see things done by halves — If it be right, do it boldly;if it be wrong, leave it undone. 句子的 leave 是什么用法? 答:這句話(huà)的意思是: 我討厭做事半途而廢。對(duì)了就大膽去做,錯(cuò)了就不做。 句中的 leave it undone 是 “leave + 賓語(yǔ) + 過(guò)去分詞” 結(jié)構(gòu),也就是說(shuō),動(dòng)詞 leave 后面接了復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)。 我們對(duì)使役動(dòng)詞 make、have、let 比較熟悉,對(duì)使役動(dòng)詞 leave 多少有點(diǎn)陌生。其實(shí), 用法相似,只是意義上略有不同(有時(shí)可以換用)。 Oxford 對(duì) leave 這一用法的注釋是:to make or allow somebody/something to remain in a particular condition, place, etc. leave 與 make 一樣,可接名詞、形容詞、分詞、介詞短語(yǔ)、現(xiàn)在分詞、過(guò)去分詞、動(dòng)詞不定 式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。 例句: Leave that chair where it is. (名詞) 把那把椅子留在原處。 You can leave the window open. (形容詞) 你可以讓窗戶(hù)開(kāi)著。 The author left us free to imagine the end of the story. (形容詞) 作者讓我們自由想象故事的結(jié)局。 I'll have to go back - I think I've left the iron on. (副詞) 我必須得回去——我覺(jué)得好像忘記關(guān)電熨斗了。 Leave your sister alone。 (副詞) 不要打擾你姐姐。 We left him in no doubt who was really to blame. (介詞短語(yǔ)) 我們讓他毫不懷疑到底是誰(shuí)的錯(cuò)。 I left the children watching television. (現(xiàn)在分詞) 我走的時(shí)候,孩子們?nèi)栽诳措娨暋?/span> They left me standing there like an idiot while they argued. (現(xiàn)在分詞) 他們爭(zhēng)吵的時(shí)候,讓我像個(gè)白癡一樣站在那里。 He had left his food untouched. (過(guò)去分詞) 他沒(méi)有動(dòng)過(guò)食物。 The experience left them shaken, but unharmed.

(帶 to 動(dòng)詞不定式) 我們讓她獨(dú)處一段時(shí)間。 ● 如果 leave 用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),其后則接主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。 例句: He was left bound and gagged. (過(guò)去分詞) 他被捆住并堵住了嘴。 Thousands of villagers were left homeless after the flood. (形容詞) 洪水過(guò)后,成千上萬(wàn)的村民無(wú)家可歸。 They were left without power for two days after storms blew down cables.
