see作“看見”解時，不能接 that從句作賓語嗎？
本站特約作者 李 翔
賀立民編著《賀氏英語語法全書》（中山大學出版社，2003年2月第1版）p992：
see 的含義是“看見”時不可用that從句作賓語，含義是“覺得(=feel )”“發現(=find )”或“確信(=make sure)”時則可。如：
a. I saw that he left the room. ×
b. I saw him leave the room. √ (我看見他離開房間的。)
實際上，這種說法是錯誤的，是不符合當前英語實際的。see作“看見(=perceive with the eyes)”解，后接that從句的正確性早已被以英語為母語的人士所證實(當然也被以英語為非母語的人士逐漸接受)，請看例證：
1. A Dictionary of Contemporay American Usage by BERGEN EVANS and COR.NELIA EVANS( RANDOM HOUSE NEW YORK)p436：When used in an active form, see may be followed by an object and the simple form of a verb, as in Z saw him leave, or by an object and the –ing form of a verb, as in Z saw him leaving. When followed by an object and a to-infinitive, the word means “infer” and not “perceive with the eyes,” as in Z saw it to be impossible. In either sense, it may be followed by a clause, as in Z saw he was leaving and Z saw it was impossible.（筆者注：很顯然在Z saw he was leaving中see的意思是perceive with the eyes，即“看見”。）
