imagine的用法

1. imagine 是及物動(dòng)詞，后面可跟名詞，代詞，動(dòng)名詞和從句作賓語(yǔ)。

例如：He is eighty-four years old and yesterday the Department of Education gave him a medal for having completed sixty years of teaching. Sixty years! Can you imagine it?（高二冊(cè)，第一頁(yè)）Imagine his surprise when he found that his beard was a foot longer than it had been before!可以想象一下，他發(fā)現(xiàn)他的胡子比以前長(zhǎng)了一尺時(shí)該多么吃驚?。ou may imagine their astonishment at finding the room empty.We never imagined that John would become a doctor..我們從來(lái)沒(méi)有想象過(guò)，約翰居然會(huì)成為一個(gè)醫(yī)生。I can’t imagine what was happened.我無(wú)法想象出了什么事。You can’t imagine how I missed the bird.

2. Imagine 后跟動(dòng)詞時(shí)，動(dòng)詞須用動(dòng)名詞的形式。

如：Try to imagine being on the moon.設(shè)想一下在月球上的情形。

I can’t imagine lying like that. I would go crazy.She imagined walking into the office and telling everyone what she thought of them.他想象著自己走進(jìn)辦公室并告訴每個(gè)人她對(duì)他們有何看法這樣一幅情景。在下面一句中，動(dòng)名詞前面出現(xiàn)了邏輯主語(yǔ)：Can you imagine me my being so stupid?你以為我如此愚蠢嗎？Would you ever have imagined him/his becoming a politician?你想到過(guò)他會(huì)成為一個(gè)政治家嗎？

3. imagine后面還可以跟復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)

如：

1）imagine+名詞/代詞+名詞The boy likes to imagine himself a flyer.那孩子喜歡想象自己是個(gè)飛行員。

2）imagine+名詞/代詞+形容詞Imagine yourself rich and famous.設(shè)想一下你自己既有錢(qián)又有名的情形。

3）imagine+名詞/代詞+介詞短語(yǔ)Imagine yourself in his place.

4) imagine+名詞/代詞+分詞He imagined himself lying summer evening, buried deep among the weeds beneath the tree.她想象自己在一個(gè)夏季的夜晚，躺在樹(shù)下深密的草叢中。Can you imagine George cooking the dinner?你能想象喬治做飯的樣子嗎？

在上一例中，《朗文現(xiàn)代英漢雙解詞典》是把cooking作為賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的。即同于下例中的cooking：He watched mother cooking the dinner.但是，它與下例中的sailing在功能上又有什么不同之處呢？I can hardly imagine Peter/Peter’s sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in five days.在這里，sailing是動(dòng)名詞，為什么在上面的句子中卻是分詞呢？這一點(diǎn)對(duì)學(xué)生們來(lái)說(shuō)并不十分重要，但語(yǔ)法學(xué)者尚須做出明確的答復(fù)。imagine后可以用不定式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，當(dāng)筆者認(rèn)為這里的不定式似乎一般只是to be。這從下面的例子中可以得到初步證實(shí)。Imagine yourself (to be) rich and famous. (《朗文現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)雙解詞典》)Our producers should constantly imagine themselves to be in the consumer’s position.我們的生產(chǎn)單位要經(jīng)常設(shè)身處地地為用戶著想。（《新英漢詞典》）Imagine yourself （to be） in his place. (《現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)用法詞典》)本文開(kāi)頭提到打那篇文章的作者只引用了一個(gè)例證：Don’t imagine yourself to be always correct. (《英語(yǔ)常用動(dòng)詞用法詞典》)而這個(gè)例子中，作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的不定式還是to be。由此可知，高考題中的答案自然是C,B和D不應(yīng)是正確答案。

4.imagine 后跟帶有as的賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)前面我們敘述了imagine后跟復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)的各種情形。但是，在有些賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)前也可以用as。

如：I had imagined you as a big tall man.我原以為你是一個(gè)高大個(gè)兒。

He imagine himself as the saviour of his country.他把自己想象成為國(guó)家的救星。I imagined him as being older

5.imagine 一般不用于進(jìn)行時(shí)

但《現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)用法詞典》中卻出現(xiàn)了下面的句子：He’s always imagining dangers that don’t exist.他總是想象一些并不存在的危險(xiǎn)。顯然，這里的進(jìn)行時(shí)因與always連用，故帶有特定的感情色彩。這種用法高一英語(yǔ)第一冊(cè)第一課中學(xué)過(guò)（He said when a person is learning a foreign language, he must not always be translating everything into his own language.），此文就不再闡述了。
