【感官系动词复习】
1. look, sound, smell,taste, feel,这五个动词均可作系动词，后面接形容词作表语，说明主语所处的状态。其意思分别为"看/听/闻/尝/摸起来……"。除look之外，其它几个动词的主语往往是物，而不是人。
例句:This kind of cloth feels very soft. 这种布手感很软。
Thisflower smells very sweet. 这朵花闻起来很香。
2. 这些动词后面也可接介词like短语，like后面常用名词。
例句: Her idea sounds like fun. 她的主意听起来很有趣。
3. sound, smell, taste, feel,也可作实义动词，既可作及物动词也可作不及物动词，此时作为实义动词讲时其主语一般为人。
例如: She smelt the meat.她闻了闻那块肉。
I felt in my pocket for cigarettes.我用手在口袋里摸香烟。
4. taste, smell作不及物动词时,可用于"taste / smell + of +名词"结构,意为"有……味道/气味"。
例如: The air in the room smells of earth.房间里的空气有股泥土味。

二、 spend (spent, spent)
n.预算;花销
v.花费;浪费;度过;用尽(气力等)
例句:
用作名词 (n.)
The new law will put a lid on government spend.新法律将限制政府开支。
用作动词 (v.)
The time I spend in commuting everyday adds up to three hours.
我每天上下班乘车花费的时间加起来有3个小时。
词组辨析:
spend for, spend in, spend on
这三个短语的共同意思是“在…花费…”。其区别是:
(1)spend in和spend on既可以用于时间,也可以用于金钱; 而spend for只可以用于金钱。
(2)spend on和spend in后既可以接名词,也可以接动名词; 而spend for后多接名词。
(3)spend on和spend in在语义上有细微差别。试比较:
——He spent a week in touring thesesix cities.他用了一周时间游览这六个城市。(强调动词宾语)
——He spent a week on touring thesesix cities.他把一周的时间花费在游览这六个城市上。(强调介词宾语)
词义辨析:
cost / spend/ take
这些动词均含“花费”之意。
(1)cost指花费时间、金钱、劳力等。其主语是物，而不能由人充当，也不用被动形式。
例句:That car must have cost a bundle.
(2)spend普通用词，与cost基本同义，但主语必须是人。
(3)take普通用词，指需要占用空间、时间或精力等，其主语可以是人，也可以是一件事情。

(3) 若后接双宾语，通常表示给予某人某物。如:

接双宾语时，若双宾语易位时，通常用介词to引出间接宾语。如:

2. 表示拒绝做某事，其后可接不定式，但不能接动名词，也不能接不定式的复合结构或that从句。如:
他拒绝我用他的词典。
正:He refused to let me use his dictionary.
误:He refused me to use his dictionary.
误:He refused my using his dictionary.
误:He refused that I should use his dictionary.
decide的两个常用搭配:
1. 表示“决定做某事”，其后要接不定式，不能接动名词。如:

She decided to call his office. 她决定给他办公室打电话。
若要接动名词，应先接介词 on(但不如用不定式结构常见)。如:
We decided on leaving. 我们决定离开。
He decided on going abroad. 他决定出国。
另外，decide on之后还可接名词或代词，表示“对……作出决定”或“选定……”。如:
We haven’t decided on a price but we’re open to offers. 价钱未定，欢迎顾主开价。
After seeing all the candidates we’ve decided on this one. 我们见了所有的候选人，决定选这位。
2. 表示“决定不做某事”，可用 decide not to do 或 decide against doing。如:
He decide not to change [against changing] his job. 他决定不换工作。
They have decided not to move [against moving] to London. 他们已决定不搬到伦敦去。
另外，decide against 之后也可接名词或代词。如:
After talking the matter over, they decided against the plan. 经过反复讨论，他们决定不采用该计划。
动词cause用法要点:
要点一:表示“造成”“使(发生)”，注意以下搭配:
①其后可直接用造成的结果或发生的事情作宾语。如:
Smoking can cause lung cancer. 吸烟可导致肺癌。
Careless drivers cause accidents. 司机不小心就出事故。
②后接双宾语。如:
The car caused me a lot of trouble. 这车给我引来了不少麻烦。

③后接不定式的复合结构作宾语。如:
Heating a copper bar will cause it to expand. 对铜棒加热会使它膨胀。
What caused your wife to change her mind? 是什么使你的妻子改变了主意?
若双宾语易位，可用介词 to / for 来引出间接宾语。如:
Her irresponsible behaviour has caused her family a great deal of anxiety.=Her irresponsible behaviour has caused a great deal of anxiety to [for] her family. 她不负责任的行为已引起她的家人的莫大担扰。
要点二:表示“使”“迫使”，通常接不定式的复合结构作宾语，注意不要受动词 make 的影响而用错句型。比较:
是什么使她哭了?
正:What caused her to cry? / What made her cry?
误:What caused her cry [crying]? / What made her to cry?
这个坏消息使她伤心。
正:The bad news caused her to be sad.
正:The bad news made her sad.
误:The bad news caused her sad.
