動詞 advise 用法小議

1. 表示“建議做某事”，其后習慣上接動名詞作賓語，而不接不定式。如：

我建議等到適當的時候。

正：I advise waiting till the right time.

誤：I advise to wait till the right time.

但是，advise 之后不能直接跟不定式，但可接不定式的復合結構。如：

He advised us to sell the house. 他建議我們把房子賣了。

The doctor advised me to stop smoking. 醫生建議我戒煙。

注意，advise 后接不定式復合結構時的被動語態形式不要與上面第一個句型混為一談。如：

主動式：He advised us to sell the house.

被動式：We were advised to sell the house.

比較錯誤句型：We advised to sell the house.（誤）

2. 其后若接 that 從句作賓語，從句謂語通常要用虛擬語氣（should+v.）。如：

The doctor advised that he (should) change his job. 醫生勸告他改換工作。

He advised that the meeting (should) be cancelled. 他建議會議應予取消。

3. 比較以下同義句型：

請指點我選哪一個。

正：Please advise me which to choose.

正：Please advise me which I should choose.

我勸他不要一個人去。

正：I advised him not to go alone.

正：I advised him against going alone.
