5 enthusiastic,clever,long 后必须加 enough才能接不定式吗

张道真《英语语法大全》上册第 596 页:

She is enthusiastic to advise him. ×

She is enthusiastic enough to advise him.

 

The dog is clever to understand you.×

The dog is clever enough to understand you.

 

The road is long to reach your village.×

The road is long enough to reach your village.

 

有点不太理解为何张道真教授说 enthusiastic, clever, long 后必须加 enough,是从句意角度吗?搜了下 COCAenthusiastic to 68 条,enthusiastic enough to 仅有 6 条。谢谢各位老师!

be enthusiastic to do sth. (正。趋向形容词与不定式搭配,表示情态意义“热心做某事”,类似ready, eager, anxious, curious to do 等用法)

be clever to do sth.(正。品质形容词与不定式搭配也很常见,不定式动作是品质的具体体现。还可说:It is clever of sb. to do sth.

be long to do sth.(误。度量形容词与不定式搭配,需加上程度副词 enough,让不定式作结果状语)

前两个搭配加上enough,也正确,但不是必须。加 enough 后,跟第三个一样,不定式变成结果状语。

我个人觉得后两个张道真说的是对的,第一个有误,be enthusiastic to do sth 很常见。你再看看张道真的书,是否你看错了?
