5 know to do sth与know how to do sth辨误(湖北高考)

记得一本书上说过,要表示“知道做某事”,英语习惯上不能说 know to do sth,而要说 know how to do sth,但是你看下面这道题(2010年湖北省的高考题):

73. ___________(不会用) a computer makes it more difficult for him to do his academic research. (use)

答案是:Not knowing to use。为什么不是 Not knowing how to use 呢?

你看到的答案不对,可能的答案如下:

Not being able to use a computer makes it more difficult for him to do his academic research.

Being unable to use a computer makes it more difficult for him to do his academic research.

Not knowing how to use a computer makes it more difficult for him to do his academic research.

句意:不会用电脑使得他做学术研究更困难。

【答】《牛津英语用法指南》第三版指出:“know 之后不直接跟动词不定式。我们用know how to ...。I know how to make Spanish omelettes. 我知道怎么做西班牙煎蛋卷。(不能说:I know to make ...)”所以,答案不应该是:Not knowing to use。而应该是: Not knowing how to use,或者Not being able to use或者Being unable to use等。
