英語可說disagree to do sth嗎

If they _______ to make heart-felt apologies soon we will have to bring an action against them.

A.disagreedB.refused

C.agreedD.hoped

【陷阱】容易誤選A，根據(jù) agree to do sth(同意做某事)，想當(dāng)然地類推出 disagree to do sth(不同意或不愿意做某事)。

【分析】事實上，語言有很多問題是不能類推的，如上面這一例，英語可說 agree to do sth，但習(xí)慣上卻不說 disagree to do sth。類似地，英語中可說 like doing [to do] sth，但在現(xiàn)代英語中習(xí)慣上說 dislike doing sth，卻不說dislike to do sth。其實上面一題的最佳答案是B，refuse to do sth 意為“拒絕做某事”或“不愿做某事” (from www.網(wǎng)址未加載)。
