A agree和 agree to(介词)
agree与不定式连用。它的意思同refuse+不定式正相反:
When I asked them to wait,Tom agreed to wait a week but Bill refusedto wait another day.
我请他们等等时,汤姆赞同等一个星期,可比尔多一天都不愿等。
agree不可以与名词或宾格代词连用。表示同refuse+ 宾语相反的意思时不需要agree,而用accept+宾语:
He refused any reward.
他拒绝同意任何报酬。
She accepted the post.
她同意了职务。
agree to(介词)后面可以接所有格形容词+ 动名词:
He agreed to my leaving early on Friday.
他赞同我星期五一早走。(我问我能否星期五一早走,他说可以。He wouldnt agree to my leaving early这句表示与它相反的意思。)
agree to后面可以接名词或宾格代词:
He aareed to the change of plan/to this/to that.
他赞同计划的变动/这个建议/那个建议。
B 意指intend(计划)的mean与不定式连用:
I mean to get to the TOP by sunrise.
我计划在日出时到达山顶。
意指involve(涉及)的mean(只能与非人称主语连用)与动名词连用:
He is determined1 to get a seat even if it means standing2 in a queue allnight.
即便要整夜排队,他也决心要买到票。
C 意指intend(计划)的propose后面一般用不定式:
I propose to start tomorrow.
我计划明天动身。
意指suggest(建议)的propose后面一般要跟动名词:
I propose waiting till the police get here.
我建议等到警察来这儿。
(关于propose+ that should结构,参见第289节。)
