• Britain International

  Martin Vander Weyer;宋云峰;

  英国是个老牌的资本主义国家。十八世纪后半叶开始的全球第一次产业革命就起源于英国。整个十九世纪,英国无论在政治上、经济上、军事上和文化上来说都是无可争辩的世界霸主,其特征是向外扩张。但二十世纪带给英国的却是渐渐衰落的进程。其特征是向内收缩及吸纳外来因素。所以二十世纪末的英国是多元文化和国际化的新英国。本文给读者提供了大量有趣的例证。

• To后接动名词结构种种

  李树德;

  <正> 我们知道,小品词 to 有两个功能,一是作为不定式符号,后面接动词原形,一是作介词,后面接名词或动名词。但由于英语中不定式使用得非常广泛而频繁,致使人们把成语动词中的介词 to,以及与某些不及物动名词或名词构成固定搭配的介词 to,也当成不定式符号。而实际上,to 后面接动名词的结构也大量存在。这种结构有以下几种。1,有些动词后面跟一个反身代词作宾语,其后再与介词 to 搭配。这类带反身代词作宾语的动词常见的有:reconcile,devote,adjust,accommodate,adapt,address,apply,submit,accustom,resign,abandon,addict,tend,conform等。例如:We'll soon adjust(adapt)ourselvesto living in the South.我们很快就会适应南方的生活。
