有书上说decide = be determined to, 例如:
I decided to conduct an experiment.
= I was determined to conduct an experiment.
请教老师们:
1)上面所言正确吗?
2)为什么decide不等于动词determine呢?
书上说的不正确。decided to do something,谓语动词表示做出决定这个动作,这个动作是在瞬间作出的,是非延续的。而 He was determined to do something. 是系表结构表示状态,是持续性的,是主语下了决心后的一种状态。即决心做某事,执意要做某事。如果determine作谓语动词,如 They determined to leave immediately. 这个句子中determined 等于decided。但determine的这种用法属于正式语体,通常用decide to do sth.
