英語是說taste good還是taste to be good

英語是說taste good還是taste to be good？請(qǐng)看題：

The boy said that the fish his mother cooked tasted ______.

A.goodB.well

C. to be goodD. to be well

【分析】按英語語法，連系動(dòng)詞后通常接形容詞作表語，而不接副詞，據(jù)此可以排除選項(xiàng)B和D。但到底是應(yīng)選A還是C呢？許多同學(xué)憑感覺認(rèn)為 taste to be good 似乎很通順，于是選了C。但是，錯(cuò)了，正確答案應(yīng)是A。原因是用作連系動(dòng)詞的 taste 后習(xí)慣上不接to be。如：

這棵樹上的蘋果味道很好。

正：The apples from this tree taste delicious.

誤：The apples from this tree taste to be delicious.

類似地，feel, smell, sound 等連系動(dòng)詞后習(xí)慣上也不接不定式 to be。如：

你的想法聽起來很好。

正：Your idea sounds a good one.

誤：Your idea sounds to be a good one.

玫瑰發(fā)出香氣(from www.網(wǎng)址未加載)。

正：Roses smell sweet.

誤：Roses smell to be sweet.

比較：seem, appear, prove, turn out, continue 等連系動(dòng)詞后可以接不定式 to be，也可省略 to be。如：

She seems (to be) a little tired. 她似乎有點(diǎn)累。

He appears (to be) quite young. 他顯得年輕。

The examination turned out (to be) quite easy. 結(jié)果考試相當(dāng)容易。

The weather continued (to be ) fine. 天氣仍然很好(from www.網(wǎng)址未加載)。

注：用作連系動(dòng)詞的 look 后能否接 to be，各語法家意見不一：有的認(rèn)為可接to be，有的認(rèn)為不能接 to be。為此，建議同學(xué)們以不接 to be 為宜(from www.網(wǎng)址未加載)。
