这个to能省略吗

 

请看下面的试题,哪个答案最佳?

—Would you like to see the film with me?

—Yes, I’d very much like __________.

A. to                         B. to see                        C. ×                        D. see

此题应选A。该句为省略句,补完整为:I’d very much like to see the film with you. 我很想同你去看电影。

有时为了避免重复前面已经出现过的动词,可以用不定式符号(to)来代替不定式结构,但在许多情况下这个不定式符号(to)不能省略。如:

I don’t dance much now, but I used to. 我现在不常跳舞,但我过去常常跳。

He hasn’t done the washing, but he’s going to. 他还没有洗衣服,但他就要去洗了。

Why didn’t you come last night? You were told to. 你昨晚为什么不来,告诉过你要来的吧。

The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street but his mother told him not to. 这个男孩想要到街上去骑自行车,但他母亲叫他不要去。

A:Is he going to learn to drive? 他打算学开车吗?

B:He’d be silly not to, wouldn’t he? 他要是不学开车,那他就有点傻,是不是?

I think he should get a job, but you can’t force him to. 我想他应该找个工作,但你不能逼他找。

不过有时也可将代替不定式的不定式符号(to)省略。如:

—Ought he to start now? 他现在必须出发吗?

—Yes, he ought (to). 是的,他必须出发。
