有人说admire 后可以接从句作宾语,而有人又说admire 后不可以接从句作宾语,求真相!谢谢!
陈老师:
admire 后通常不接that引导的宾语从句,如:
不能说:I admire that he is brave.
可改为:I admire his bravery.
若一定要接that从句作宾语,可考虑改为the fact that结构。如:
I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them on the telephone. 我羡慕他经常在课外与学生聊天或通过电话与学生聊天。——摘自2004年高考英语试卷
另外,admire虽然不能后接that从句,但可接连接代词或连接副词词引导的从句。如:
I admire how well she speaks English. 我羡慕她英语讲得那么好。
顺便说一句,admire后不接不定式的复合结构,即不说admire sb to do sth,要表示“羡慕(赞赏)某人做某事”,英语可用admire sb [sb’s] doing sth:They all admired his behaving so bravely. 他们钦佩他表现如此勇敢。
