stop doing/stop to do

核心问题

I'm very tired.”“We really should stop ____.”

A. to study B. from studying C. of studying D. studying (TOEFL)

我认为这道题也可以选 A。因动词 stop 如同 begin, cease 既可接动名词, 也可接动词不定式。

词典解答

这是一个很有趣的语言现象。动词 begin, start, cease 后接动名词和后接动词不定式意义是相同的。但是动词 stop 后接动名词和后接动词不定式, 意义却完全不同。

  1. He stopped talking. (动名词 talkingstop 的宾语) 他停止了谈话。

  2. He stopped to talk. (to talkstop 的目的状语) 他停下来去谈话。

  3. It has stopped raining. (OSD) 雨停了。

  4. We stopped to have a rest. (ALD) 我们停下来休息一会儿。

  5. I stopped to let the car cool off and to study the map. (New Concept English, Book 3, L. 57) 我停了车,让汽车冷却一下,并仔细查看地图。
