insist通常用作不及物動詞和及物動詞,有堅持,堅決要求等含義;作堅決要求、一定要講時,其賓語從句常用與將來事實相反的虛擬語氣。
擴展資料。
insist的用法:
1、表示「堅持」「主張」等,可及物或不及物。用作及物動詞時,其後通常只接 that 從句作賓語,而不能接名詞或代詞作賓語,也不能接不定式或動名詞作賓語。如:
誤:he insisted his demand
誤:she insisted paying [to pay] for herself
但是若其後接有介詞 on 或 upon,則可後接名詞、代詞、動名詞。如:
he insisted on his demand.他堅持他的要求。
she insisted on paying for herself.她堅持要付她自己的那一份錢。
2、其後可接 that-從句,但要根據意思的不同而分清兩種情況:
(1) 表示「堅持要」「一定要」,從句所指的一般是尚未實現的事實,此時謂語通常用虛擬語氣(即should+動詞原形),而且引導詞that 一般不省略(尤其是當已經省略 should 時)。如:
the detective insisted that he should have a look.警探堅持要查看。
i insisted that he (should) go with us.我堅持要他和我們一塊兒去。
(2) 表示「堅持說」「堅持認為」,從句所指的通常是已經發生的.事或已存在的狀態,謂語一般用陳述語氣,引導詞 that 可省略。如:
he still insisted he wasn』t there at the time.他仍然堅持說他當時不在那兒。
john insisted that he heard somebody in the house.約翰堅持說他聽到房子裡有人。
比較下面的句子:
he insists that she is careful.他力言她是小心的。
he insists that she should be careful.他堅持要她小心。
he insisted that he was not ill,but the doctor insisted that he should take the medicine.他堅持說他沒有病,但醫生卻堅持要他服藥。
3、不要受漢語的影響,在其後接用不定式的復合結構:
他一定要我們收下這些禮物。
誤:he insisted us to accept these gifts
正:he insisted on us [our] accepting these gifts
正:he insisted that we (should) accept these gifts
正:he insisted on it that we (should) accept these gifts
