动词 strike 和 occur 都可表示“使某人忽然想起某事”,它们的使用方法有什么不同?结构上有不同吧?谢谢!
两者有什么区别是:
▲strike 是及物动词,后面接某人作宾语。如:
An awful thought has just struck me. 我刚刚产生了一种非常坏的想法。
注意:有时用被动语态。如:
What struck me was their enthusiasm for the work. 使我深有感触的是他们的工作热情。
I was struck by their enthusiasm for the work. 他们的工作热情我深有领会。
有时用 it 作形式主语。如:
It strikes me that nobody is in favour of the changes. 我注意到哪个也不喜欢这类改革。
It suddenly struck me how we could improve the situation. 我忽然想到一个方法可以让大家改进这种局面。
▲occur 是不及物动词,后面不可以直接跟宾语。表示某想法出目前某人脑海中或被某人想到,一般与介词 to连用。如:
A good idea occurred to me. 我想起了个好主意。
His name just did not occur to my memory. 我就是想不起他的名字。
在以上使用方法中,若主语为从句或不定式,则在句首用形式主语 it, 而把真的的主语放在后面。如:
It occurred to me that he might be lying. 我突然想起他可能是在撒谎。
It never occurred to me to insure the house. 我从来也没想到过去给房屋投保。
Didn’t it occur to you to phone them about it? 难道你就没想到给他们打个电话?
