非谓语动词
1-10: prove+to be
prove可做及物动词,表“证明”,之后用名词或名词从句做宾语。也可以做不完全不及物动词,表“显示”,“竟然是”,之后用to be+n./adj.做主语补语。
1.prove做及物动词,表“证明”:
例:the investigation proved his guilt.
(调查证明了他有罪。)
the investigation proved that he was guilty.
(调查证明他有罪。)
2.prove做不完全不及物动词,表“显示,竟然是”
例:what he said proved to be true.
(他的话显示是真的。)
the report proved to be false.
= the report turned out be false.
(这份报告竟然是错的。)
注意
prove或turn out之后的to be亦可省略,故上列例句亦可改写为:
the report (proved false./turned out false.)
