英语中确实有些动词用法特别,比如 agree / disagree / insist / object 等,这种特殊性体现在:它们多用作不及物动词,而用作及物动词时,其用法非常有限,通常只能后跟 that 型宾语从句,这不是什么矛盾,而是它们根本就可以用作及物动词,记住这些特殊词就行了:
Bill objected that it would take longer. 比尔反对说这会花更长时间。
She insisted that I (should) stay forsupper. 他一定要我留下吃晚饭。
We all agree that happiness is often aresult of these simple things. 我们都同意快乐就源自于这些简单的事情。
Few, including global brands, disagree that workers should earn enough for a decent living. 包括那些全球知名的品牌在内,很少有人会否认员工应该能获得一份够他过上体面生活的收入。
