recommend sb. to do sth.

问

《朗文当代高级英语词典》(商务印书馆,1998,p.1847)在辨析 advise 和 recommend 这两个同义词时说:“Both verbs can mean ‘to tell someone what you think should be done’ but are followed by different verb patterns. 这两个动词的意思都表示‘告诉某人你认为应该做什么’,但是后面接的动词句型却不一样:

The doctor advised me to stay in bed. 医生要我卧床。/The doctor recommended that I (should) stay in bed. 医生建议我(应该)卧床。”

请问 recommend 真的不能用在 recommend sb. to do sth. 结构中吗?

答

recommend除用于recommend that结构之外,亦可用于recommend sb. to do sth.和recommend doing sth.结构。CGEL的作者们在§16.63中明确指出,recommend也用于直接宾语+to-不定式句型,即与tell/advise/persuade具有相同的用法。下面让我们用实例来证明这三种并存的用法:

A. 1. I recommend that everyone (should) buy this dictionary. (LDCE) 我建议每个人都买这本词典。

  1. I recommend that you (should) be more careful in future. (PESD) 我建议你将来更细心些。

  2. The fifteen-member committee also recommended that students be subjected to standardized tests … (Hillary, Living History) 由十五位委员组成的委员会一致建议举办学生标准化考试……(希拉里，《亲历历史》)

B. 1. He recommended me to buy new tyres. (PEG) 他建议我买新轮胎。

  1. I would recommend you to talk to the bank manager. (EDFS) 我建议你同银行经理谈一谈。

  2. I wouldn't recommend you to go there alone. 我劝你不要孤身一人到那里去。

  3. I don't recommend you to park there because it's against the law. 我劝你不要在那里停车，因为那是违法的。

  4. Bob recommended David Kendall to represent us in the Whitewater matter. (Hillary, Living History) 鲍勃推荐戴维·肯德尔来代表我们处理白水案。(希拉里，《亲历历史》)

C. 1. The doctor recommended seeing an eye specialist. (EDFS) 医生建议我去看眼科专家。

  1. I recommend buying this dictionary [you to buy this dictionary]. (LDCE) 我建议买这本词典[你买这本词典]。

  2. He recommended (my) buying new tyres. (PEG) 他建议(我)买新轮胎。

  3. I recommended getting started to work earlier. (NTC) 我建议早点儿开始工作。

  4. I wouldn't recommend (your) travelling on your own. It could be dangerous. 我劝你不要单独旅游,可能会有危险的。

  5. I recommended (you) meeting him first. 我建议(你)先见见他。

recommend3

问

You can recommend some books to the students. (Gurrey)

这个句子能否写成：

You can recommend the students to some books.

答

recommend sth. to sb. 和 recommend sb. to sth. 这两个结构都是正确的, 只是前者用得多一些。下面便是一个例证:

Henley has also recommended me to Chambers' Encyclopaedia for Irish subjects. (Yeats) 关于爱尔兰问题,亨利还向我推荐了钱伯斯百科全书。
