问题描述
recommend 后面能不能接双宾语是一个问题,有的人说可以,有的人说不可以。
到底有没有比较权威的版本啊!谢谢专家!
老师答疑
唐老师:
recommend 后是否接双宾是个有争议的问题。
1. 葛传椝在其《英语惯用法词典》认为:
recommend 往往有双宾语。例如:Can you recommend me an English dictionary?
2. 《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(第4版)有如下例句:
Can you recommend me a good novel? 你给我介绍一本好的小说行吗?
3. 《朗文常见错误词典》认为:
× I recommend you a walk along the Seine.
√ I recommend a walk along the Seine.
4. 《朗文当代高级英语词典》认为:
You do not say ‘recommend someone something’. 不要说 recommend someone something.
What wine do you recommend (NOT recommend us)? 你推荐哪种葡萄酒?
由于上面列举的四本词典,前两本出版时间比较早,而后两本出版时间比较近(比较新),所以宜以不接双宾语为宜。
刘老师:
Longman 词典(Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English )是最注重用法的词典。
在该词条的Grammar 部分,明确指出:
You recommend something to someone:
I recommended a book to her.
Don’t say: I recommended her a book.
这就是说,双宾语是不可以的。不仅王老师说的 a particular action (如:visit),不能做直接宾语,即便是something(如:book),也不能做直接宾语。

Grammar
Patterns with recommend (meaning 1)
• In everyday English, you recommend that someone does something:
I recommend that she speaks to a lawyer.
‘That’ can be omitted:
I recommend she speaks to a lawyer
.
• In more formal English, you recommend that someone do something, using the base form of the verb (=the infinitive without ‘to’):
I recommend that she speak to a lawyer.
✗Don’t say: I recommend her to speak to a lawyer.
• In more formal English, you also use the base form of the verb when talking about the past:
I recommended that she speak to a lawyer.
• You recommend that someone should do something:
I recommended that they should get insurance.
• You can say it is recommended that someone (should) do something:
It is recommended that everyone (should) take the test.
Patterns with recommend (meaning 2)
• You recommend something to someone:
I recommended a book to her.
✗Don’t say: I recommended her a book.
王老师:
建议你看比较权威的原文字典。下面是Collins COBUILD English Usage © HarperCollins Publishers 2012的解释:
Don't say that you 'recommend someone' a particular action. Don't say, for example, 'I recommend you a visit to Paris'. Say 'I recommend a visit to Paris', 'I recommend visiting Paris', or 'I recommend that you visit Paris'.
我想这个解释准确解答了你的问题。
曹老师:
这个问题就需要查词典。《麦克米伦英语词典》没有双宾语的例句。作推荐讲的时候句型为recommend sb/sth to sb (for sth)即后接直接宾语。间接宾语需要用介词to引出(介词短语为状语)for介词短语表示推荐的理由或目的。你可再查大部头的词典。词典无例句就表示不可以,至少不是常用用法。
Please recommend us to your friends.
I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in chemistry.
I have decided to recommend you for the directorship.
Which type of oil do you recommend for my car?
曾老师:
recommend可以接双宾语。如:
Can you recommend me some books to read?你能不能推荐几本书给我看?(张道真《英语常用动词用法词典》)
Perhaps you can recommend us another hotel.或许你能够给我们再推荐一家旅馆。(张道真《英语常用动词用法词典》)
Can you recommend me a gardener? = Can you recommend a gardener to me. 你能为我推荐一名园丁吗?《21世纪英汉汉英双向词典》
Can you recommend me a good novel? 你给我介绍一本好的小说行吗? 《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》
陈老师:
解答如下:
可以接双宾语结构
(1)结构如下:主语+recommend+sb+sth
Can you recommend me a good novel?
你能向我介绍一本好的小说吗?
She recommended me a good dictionary.
她向我推荐了一本好词典。
Perhaps you can recommend me another hotel.
也许你可以给我推荐另一家餐馆。
Can you recommend me a good shoemaker?
你能给我推荐一个好鞋匠吗?
(2)结构为主语+recommend sth to sb
You can recommend some books to the students.
你可以向学生们推荐一些书。
My uncle recommended a useful instrument to me.
我叔叔向我推荐一台很有用的仪器。
I can recommend this play to all lovers of good theatre.
我把这个剧推荐给所有优秀剧的爱好者。
This hotel has nothing to recommend it to travellers except cheapness.
这家旅馆除了价钱便宜之外,对于旅行者毫无可取之处。
黎老师:
recommend 后是否接双宾是个有争议的问题:
-
《朗文高级英语应试词典》英汉双解版认为 recommend sb sth 是常见错误。
-
张道真主编的《现代英语用法词典》修订版有recommend 后接双宾的例句:Can you recommend me a good shoemaker? (JED)
