depend的用法说明

depend的用法

◆他不是个可靠的人。

误:He is not a man to be depended.

正:He is not a man to be depended on.

析:depend(依靠)是不及物动词,若语义上需要接宾语,则须借助介词 on, upon。又如:Whether the game will be playeddepends on the weather.(球赛是否进行要看天气而定)。

◆你放心,他会来的。

误:You may depend that he will come.

误:You may depend on that he will come.

正:You may depend on it that he will come.

析:depend(依靠)是不及物动词,其后不可直接跟 that 从句,也不可在 depend on 后跟 that 从句(因为在通常情况下介词后不可直接跟 that 从句),而是在 depend on 后先加上形式宾 语 it 再加 that 从句。顺便说一句,depend on 后不能直接跟 that 从句,但可跟 whether, where, how, who, what 等引导的从句,且有时可省略介词 on。

◆我们都指望他能帮助我们(from www.yywords.com)。

误:We all depend you to come tomorrow.

正:We all depend on you to come tomorrow.

正:We all depend on you coming tomorrow.

正:We all depend on your coming tomorrow.

析:depend不能跟不定式的复合结构(记住它是不及物动词),但是 depend on 后可以跟不定式的复合结构,并且也可以动名词的复合结构。注:此句也可用从句改写:We all depend on itthat he will come tomorrow.
