章振邦语法英语句子汉译:不定式符号取舍

关千不定式符号的几个问题
不定式是由不定式符号 to+ 动词原形构成,如果省略了动词原形,便只剩下了不定式符号了。
1) 不定式符号的单独使用
为了避免重复 ,可以省略不定式符号之后的动词原形及其补足成分 这种不定式符号的单独使用常见于非正式语体。
George says he is going to leave Shanghai, but I don't think he really wants to.
We should like Jane to get a good degree, but we don't really expect her to.
You may go if you wish to.
He always speaks faster than he needs to.
A number of veterans (老队员)retired, and some were ready to.

如果不定式符号之后的动词原形是 be/ have, 在省略句中通常要保留 be/ have, 但随后的成分仍可省。
A: Aren't you the manager?
B: No, and I don't want to be.
A: He hasn't finished yet.
B: Well, he ought to have.

有时不定式符号和随后的动词及其补足成分可以一起省略。
I'd like to do it now, but I haven't got the time (to).
You will make it if you try (to).

2) 不定式符号的省略
当两个带 to 不定式由 and /or 连接时,第二个不定式符号常可省略。
I intend to call on him and discuss this question again.
Christina hardly knew whether to laugh or cry.
She asked me to telephone or wire to her on Monday.

但若两个并列的带 to 不定式有对比含义,第二个不定式符号便不能省略。
To be, or not to be, that is the question. 存在还是毁灭,是个要考虑的问题.
I haven't decided to go home or to stay at school this summer.

在不用并列连词的情况下,第二个不定式符号也不能省略。
Please go to the seaside to swim, to get suntanned.
He likes to stay with the peasants, to work in the fields with them.

当三个或三个以上带 to 不定式构成排比结构 (parallel construction) 时,所有的不定式符号均须保留。
Read not to contradict or confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. (Bacon)

3) 不定式符号 to 与介词 to 的辨别
我国学生在使用 object to / be used to 这类结构时常会出错,以为这里的 to 是不定式 to, 因而会说 object to do this / I'm used to do it 这样的病句来。殊不知,这里的 to 不是不定式 to, 而是介词to。 既是介词 to, 其后就应跟名词/代词,如果其后为动词,则应采用 -ing 分词形式 解决这一问题的办法是熟悉一些常见的含介词 to 的搭配,这可以说是矛盾的主要方面,抓住了它,不定式 to 与介词 to的辨别问题便可迎刃而解下面提供七种类型含介词 to 的搭配 为了更能说明各类搭配中的 to 是介词
to, 例句中尽可能地采用 "to+ -ing 分词形式”以便识别。

a) 动词+介词 to
