I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
上面的句子摘自2020高考英语全国卷Ⅱ的阅读理解D。请问这里的love后面直接跟that从句的用法对吗?我问了身边的一些人,有的人说可以,有的人说不可以(要改为I love it that…等),但都没有找到权威的依据(love it that的例句可以找到,但没有找到可以用 love that…以及不能用 love that…的依据)。在此求教柯帕斯英语网的各位专家,先谢了!
附全文,供参考上下文:
I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source (来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven (避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy (盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
通常认为like, love, hate, take这类动词不可后接that从句。词典中是没有love后接that从句的用法的。当语义上需要后接that从句时,需要形式宾语it 过渡,即 like it that, love it that, have it that, hate it that, take it that.
但是COCA语料库中却有不少love直接后接that从句做宾语的例句,如:
I don't even totally get that joke, but I love that it shows they don't take themselves too seriously.
so I love that it gets a little place of its own.
I love that they are contained and being preserved!
Obviously we LOVE that you paint such colorful scenes of Paris.
I love that there's so much nuanced, complex, awesome art to drink in.
Also, I love that you used a WW tip!
I also love that it dries totally clear and I can use it day or night.
I love that your Dad is secure enough to not need you to need him.
I love that women will let you believe that the child is yours, fulfilling your dreams.
I love that you're making your husband's favorite dish.
PGA may love that it was fought tooth and nail to get made.
I love that it's not messy fun.
... ...
COCA这种句子至少有好几百个。说明在美国英语非正式语体中,love直接后接that从句已经相当普遍了。但英国语料库BNC中却没有一例这种句子。
高考卷所选文章可能选自美国作者的文章,这种用法在美国可能已经被接受了吧。
有人在WR网站提问 I love (it) that my children enjoy school.这个句子,一位美国人的回答是:Both are grammatical, not much different. 而一位英国人的回答是:You are not likely to hear this in BE, although it seems to be common in spoken AE. I would say I love it when ... or I love the fact that my children ...

现代英语中,这两种用法都存在,但有些母语的人认为love it that 比love that要规范些。一般来说这种用法多见于非正式文体。关于这两种用法,我在语料库各选了几个例句,供参考。我们暂且把它看作现代英语的新发展来接受。
...love it that...:
1. We love it that you are right up there in the mononymous galaxy with Adele.
2. Don't you love it that I can still fit into your jeans?
3. I love it that other people go to Bolivia, get happy and tell me about it.
4. I love it that we have such a strong passion for each other.
...love that...:
1. I love that your Dad is secure enough to not need you to need him.
2. I love that it gets a little place of its own so we can gaze at it
3. I love that women are so generous that they will let you pay for everything.
4. By the way, I love that Eric is continuing to fight the good fight.

个人觉得love加that直接接宾语从句的用法是不正确的。至于证据或是理由,我记得倪老师之前写过一个文章,你可以参考一下:
https://www.cpsenglish.com/article/962,里面也有证据。
我还提供一个证据:由John Sinclair编著的Collins Cobuild Grammar patterns1 VERBS一书中的第542-543页。
像love,like和hate等等都是,总结说就是“爱与恨”。
我曾经也在很多书中找过,并没有见到love接宾语从句的实例,你列举的这个例子我是首次见到,如果搜索语料库,可能也会有,我没搜过。
这篇高考的英文原文来自于https://www.readbrightly.com/the-library-the-place-where-my-love-for-books-began/,没有引用错,原文就是这么写的,作者是一位小说家,名叫CHRISTINE FEEHAN,我个人倾向认为是作者疏忽,写出了这样的一个句子。至于有没有可能随着时间的推移,这种直接接宾语从句的用法会被慢慢接受,那就不知道了,短时间肯定是不可能的。
通常情况像“like, dislike, hate,love, have, appreciate, take, put,prefer, appreciate,”这类动词不可以直接接that/if/when等宾语从句,必须先接it形式宾语(或者虚拟宾语),在接that/if/when宾语从句。(备注:it可以理解为指代后面that/if/when从句内容)
【1】like it that… 很高兴……
I like it that you came. 你来了,我很高兴。
We like it that you can lend us the money. 很高兴,你能借钱给我们。
【2】have it that… 据说……;据传言......据传闻……

Rumor has it that the defense minister will soon resign.据传闻,国防部长不久就要辞职。
【3】put it that… 理解为……;可以说是……

【9】appreciate it+if

备注:有些动词+介词,后也不能直接跟宾语从句,也必须加形式宾语it在接宾语从句。
结构动词+介词+it
+that 结构
按英语习惯,介词后通常不能直接跟that从句作宾语,但有个别特殊结构就在介词后先接it作形式宾语,再跟that从句,如look to it that, see to it that, depend upon it that, rely on it that, answer for it that等。
