I was determined to go.(= I determined to go.)(我决心去。)
1704790621
1704790622
如最后一例,两种说法虽则用了等号,但要加以分别的话,也可以说: I determined 只是表示单纯的决心而已, I was determined 则表示毅然决然的样子,因为早已在那种决心的状态中了。

我们决不可把它作为被动语态看待,最好把那个“自动词的过去分词”当作一个形容词,就好解释了。例如:
1704790625
1704790626
The sun is risen.(= The sun has risen and is now in the sky.)(太阳出来了。)
1704790627
1704790628
The sun is set.(太阳落山了。)

1704790630
My money is gone!(我的钱都完了。)
1704790631
1704790632

1704790633

英文疑难详解 77.My uncle remembered me on my birthday
1704790647
1704790648
My uncle remembered me on my birthday.一句,译作“我叔父记得我的生日。”为什么是错了?英文 remember 一字除作“记忆”解外,还有其他什么解释?请举例说明。

【解答】英文的动词 remember,普通有四种含义,即:
1704790651
1704790652
(1)想起:例如 I do not remember your name.(我想不起你是姓什么的。)
1704790653
1704790654
(2)记忆:例如 I shall always remember your kindness to me.(我将永远记得你对我的好处。)
1704790655
1704790656
(3)致意:例如 Remember me to your mother.(令堂前乞代请安。)
1704790657
1704790658
(4)赠物,致酬,给奖品,付小费:例如 Remember a child on its birthday.(送小孩生日礼物。)Remember the waiter.(付侍者小费。)My uncle remembered me in his will.(我伯父在遗嘱中分了遗产给我。)
1704790659
1704790660
质问中的文句,应作上举的第四种解释,译作第二种的意思自然错了。原意是“我叔父在我生日时送了我一个礼物”。

英文的 remember 一字,后面可接用动名词,也可接用不定词,不过产生的意义有别,宜加注意。比较:
1704790663
1704790664
(a) I remember seeing him once.(我记得见过他一次。)
1704790665
1704790666
(b) I remember to see him tomorrow.(我明天一定要去找他。)
1704790667
1704790668
接用动名词的是指过去,接用不定词的是指未来。不过如果你用了完成不定词,当然也就是指的过去了,所以(a)例可改写为 I remember to have seen him once.或是 I remember that I saw him once.(b)例也可改写为 I remember that I must see him tomorrow.
