Suggest的正确用法

我们可以将动词suggest与名词短语、that从句、动词的ing形式或疑问句(where, what)连用。

Suggest + 名词短语

我们可以用名词短语作为suggest的宾语:

Can you suggest a good restaurant in this part of town?

如果我们需要提到接受建议的人，我们用to结构:

My teacher suggested an exam I could take at the end of the year. (or My teacher suggested an exam to me which I could take at the end of the year.)

Not: My teacher suggested me an exam …

Suggest + that从句

当我们建议某人做某事时，我们可以使用that从句。在非正式场合，that经常被省略:

I suggest (that) you leave here around four o’clock. The traffic gets very bad from about 4.30 onwards.

当suggest在过去时，我们可以在that从句中使用should:

Her doctor suggested that she should reduce her working hours and take more exercise.

Suggest + -ing 形式

当我们提到一个动作，但不提到将要做这件事的人时，我们可以把suggest和动词的-ing形式连用，因为它在上下文中是可以理解的:

She suggested travelling together for safety, since the area was so dangerous.

Suggest + wh-的特殊疑问词

我们可以用suggest 与特殊疑问词where, what, who, how等连用:

Could you suggest where I might be able to buy a nice sweater for Mark?

Can anyone suggest how we might attract more people to the next event?

典型错误

• 我们在不用suggest + 间接宾语 +动词不定式的结构向某人提供建议:

He suggested that I should apply for a job in a bank or insurance company.

Not: He suggested me to apply …

• 我们不用suggest + 动词不定式:

Henry wanted to tell everyone, but Dora suggested waiting until the news had been announced officially.

Not: Dora suggested to wait …
