understand 的常用句式搭配

1. 表示“明白”、“理解”,其后可接动名词(可带逻辑主语),但通常不接不定式。如:

那样对待孩子,我不能理解。

正:I can’t understand treating children like that.

误:I can’t understand to treat children like that.

有时可接从句。比较:

你需要换一换环境,这一点我完全理解。

正:I quite understand that you need a change.

正:I quite understand your needing a change.

我不明白他为什么抢劫自己的朋友。

正:I can’t understand why he robbed his friend.

正:I can’t understand his robbing his friend.

2. 表示“听说”、“得知”、“推断”等,可接不定式的复合结构或从句等。比较:

我听说他在巴黎。

正:I understand him to be in Paris.

正:I understand that he is in Paris.

我认为他愿意来。

正:I understand him to say that he would come.

正:I understand him as saying that he would come. (www.hxen.net)

注:在简略回答中可用 so 代替前面已出现的 that 从句。如:

A:They are going to get married. 他们要结婚了。

B: I understand so. / So I understand. 听说如此。

3. 用于 make oneself understood, 意为“清楚地表达自己的意思”,注意这里必须用反身代词,同时 understand 要用过去分词形式,而不能用原形。如:

I can’t make myself understood in English. 我不能用英语表达自己的意思。
