imagine的用法大全

【#文档大全网# 导语】以下是®文档大全网的小编为您整理的《imagine的用法大全》，欢迎阅读！

1. imagine 是及物动词，后面可跟名词,代词，动名词和从句作宾语.例如：

He is eighty—four years old and yesterday the Department of Education gave him a medal for having completed sixty years of teaching. Sixty years! Can you imagine it？（高二册，第一页)

Imagine his surprise when he found that his beard was a foot longer than it had been before！

可以想象一下,他发现他的胡子比以前长了一尺时该多么吃惊啊！ You may imagine their astonishment at finding the room empty。 We never imagined that John would become a doctor.. 我们从来没有想象过，约翰居然会成为一个医生。 I can’t imagine what was happened. 我无法想象出了什么事。

You can’t imagine how I missed the bird。



2。 Imagine 后跟动词时，动词须用动名词的形式。如:

Try to imagine being on the moon. 设想一下在月球上的情形。

I can't imagine lying like that。 I would go crazy。

She imagined walking into the office and telling everyone what she thought of them。 他想象着自己走进办公室并告诉每个人她对他们有何看法这样一幅情景。 在下面一句中，动名词前面出现了逻辑主语： Can you imagine me my being so stupid？ 你以为我如此愚蠢吗？

Would you ever have imagined him/his becoming a politician？ 你想到过他会成为一个政治家吗？



3. imagine后面还可以跟复合宾语，如： 1）imagine+名词/代词+名词

The boy likes to imagine himself a flyer。 那孩子喜欢想象自己是个飞行员。 2）imagine+名词/代词+形容词 Imagine yourself rich and famous。 设想一下你自己既有钱又有名的情形. 3）imagine+名词/代词+介词短语 Imagine yourself in his place。 4) imagine+名词/代词+分词

He imagined himself lying summer evening, buried deep among the weeds beneath the tree。

她想象自己在一个夏季的夜晚，躺在树下深密的草丛中. Can you imagine George cooking the dinner？ 你能想象乔治做饭的样子吗？ 在上一例中，《朗文现代英汉双解词典》是把cooking作为宾语补足语的。即同于下例中的cooking：

He watched mother cooking the dinner。


但是，它与下例中的sailing在功能上又有什么不同之处呢？

I can hardly imagine Peter/Peter’s sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in five days.

在这里,sailing是动名词，为什么在上面的句子中却是分词呢？这一点对学生们来说并不十分重要,但语法学者尚须做出明确的答复。

imagine后可以用不定式作宾语补足语，当笔者认为这里的不定式似乎一般只是to be。这从下面的例子中可以得到初步证实。

Imagine yourself （to be) rich and famous。 （《朗文现代英语双解词典》）

Our producers should constantly imagine themselves to be in the consumer’s position。 我们的生产单位要经常设身处地地为用户着想。（《新英汉词典》) Imagine yourself （to be） in his place. (《现代英语用法词典》) 本文开头提到打那篇文章的作者只引用了一个例证:

Don’t imagine yourself to be always correct。 (《英语常用动词用法词典》）

而这个例子中，作宾语补足语的不定式还是to be.由此可知,高考题中的答案自然是C，B和D不应是正确答案。



4. imagine 后跟带有as的宾语补足语

前面我们叙述了imagine后跟复合宾语的各种情形.但是，在有些宾语补足语前也可以用as。如:

I had imagined you as a big tall man. 我原以为你是一个高大个儿。

He imagine himself as the saviour of his country。 他把自己想象成为国家的救星。

I imagined him as being older

5。 imagine 一般不用于进行时，但《现代英语用法词典》中却出现了下面的句子： He’s always imagining dangers that don’t exist. 他总是想象一些并不存在的危险。

显然，这里的进行时因与always连用,故带有特定的感情色彩。这种用法高一英语第一册第一课中学过（He said when a person is learning a foreign language, he must not always be translating everything into his own language.)，此文就不再阐述了。
