He is happy for his daughter to marry a wealthy man.
老师,这句我想是不是主系表+介词短语,介词短语中又套了一个不定式作原因状从,肯定不对劲吧哈哈。谢谢。
He is happy for his daughter to marry a wealthy man.
【答】这个介词for,既表示He is happy 的原因,又兼着引出不定式to marry a wealthy man 的逻辑主语his daughter,构成“动词不定式的复合结构”。
一、英语的表达非常有趣,不知是为了简练,还是巧合,这种现象值得研究。
本句的for his daughter to marry a wealthy man 表原因,但下面的这些例句则是表目的。例如:
1. The fans were waiting for the pop star to appear.
歌迷们正等着这位流行歌星的出现。
2. She opened the door for me to come in.
她开门让我进去。He
3. The policeman signed for me to stop.
警察打手势叫我停下。
4. Do you want to leave word for him to call you?
你想留话让他打电话吗?
5. I'll arrange for you to be met at the airport.
我将作出安排,到机场接你。
6. I gestured for him to keep quiet.
我用手势示意他保持安静。
7. She looked up and nodded for me to go out. 她抬起头来,并点头让我出去。
8. I am really longing for him to say something tender to me.
我确实渴望他对我讲此温柔的话。
9. I would give anything for this not to have happened.
我宁愿付出任何代价,也不愿出现这件事。
二、本句还可使用“动名词的复合结构”,代替for his daughter to marry a wealthy man,但是,句子意思却发生了较大变化。
“动名词的复合结构”表示“已经结婚”;“不定式的复合结构”表示“将要结婚”。这也说明一个问题,不定式表示“未来事件”。请对比:
1. He is happy for his daughter to marry a wealthy man.
2. He is happy for his daughter's marrying a wealthy man.

He is happy (逻辑主语for his daughter) to marry a wealthy man.

参考译文:他很高兴他的女儿嫁给了一个很富有的人。
解答如下:
带有逻辑主语的动词不定式复合结构作句子原因状语状语。
He is happy for his daughter to marry a wealthy man.
参考译文:他因他的女儿嫁给了一个很富有的人感觉很高兴。
以上句子结构分析如下:
主语:He(他)
系动词:is(是)
表语:happy (很高兴)
原因状语:for his daughter to marry a wealthy man(因女儿嫁给了一个有钱人)
(备注:for his daughter 为不定式逻辑主语)
(备注:当不定式逻辑主语为句子主语的时候,不可以再加上逻辑主语.)
She is happy to marry a wealthy man.
以上不定式逻辑主语就是句子的主语。(不定式作句子原因状语.)
还想请问下另外一个句子:it's important for you to go there in person.这里的for you to go there是不是不定式复合结构作主语?
继续跟踪解答:以上是不定式复合结构作句子主语!
