| 单词 | cause(make) |
| 释义 | cause ： make — 201 用作“使得”或“弄成”讲，这两个动词是同义，并都可搭用以不定式短语作补语的复合宾语，只是前者所搭用的那个不定式动词不能省去 to 或 to be ；而后者则可以，除非是在用于被动语态的时候（注：在一些谚语里， to 也多半不省去）。 例如： Someone who makes you laugh is a comedian. Someonewho makes you thlnk and then laugb is a humorist. 逗你发笑的人是个小丑；使你深思而后发笑的人是个幽默家。 （不定式动词可以省去 to ） We have been made to progress. 我们已有所进步。（用于被动语态，不定式不省去 to ） Money makes the mare to go. 有钱能使鬼推磨。（在谚语里， to 往往不省去） We should make our shoes to last. 我们应该把鞋子做得坚固耐穿。（这里的 make 是作“制作”讲， to 也不省去） 比较： What caused him to go downhill? 是什么使得他走下坡路的？ What made him go downhill? 是什么使得他走下坡路的？ It makes him fear. 这使得他害怕起来。（是他自己害怕起来） It makes him feared. 这使他受惊。（是别人使他害怕起来） There was a law in ancient Athens that if a daughter refusedto take the husband chosen for her, her father could cause herto be put to death. 古代雅典有条法律：作女儿的如果不尊重父亲给她许下的婚事，父亲有权把她处死。 There was a law in ancient Athens that if a daughter refused to take the husband chosen for her, her father could make herbe put to death. 古代雅典有条法律；作女儿的如果不尊重父亲给她许下的婚事，父亲有权把她处死。 |
