Tell him that I'll call to see him and (that I'll) have lunch with him.
请教老师: call to do sth 这种结构究竟是什么意思?这里的call如何理解?
Tell him that I'll call to see him and (that I'll) have lunch with him.
call to see sb. 典型的口语特征。不是“打电话看某人”,而是“去看某人”,call 和 see 都有“看望”之意,重叠使用为了突出效果。从下一句即可看出,两人一定会见面,共进午餐。此外,如果是“打电话”,前面再用Tell him 不显得累赘?
call to see + 从句。 这里就是“打电话”了。call 为不及物动词,to see...为目的状语。例如:
I just thought I'd call to see how you're doing.
我正想着要打个电话给你,了解一下你怎么样了。
