因此,把句(1)中的 to clean the room 分析为表语,是站不住脚的。
那么,该如何分析句(1)中的 is to clean...呢?应当搞清楚,这里的 is 并不是连系动词,而是 be to 这一情态习语的组成成分。be to 的意义是:“将”“计划”“安排”“应该”“必须”[have(got) to, ought to]:
-
The Queen is to have a holiday. 女王将去度假。(be to 表示将来)
-
The committee is to meet today. 委员会定于今天开会。(be to 表示计划、安排)
-
Their daughter is to be married soon. 他们的女儿马上就要结婚了。
-
The Prime Minister is to visit Canada next month. 首相定于下月访问加拿大。
-
The message is this: You are to go to the hotel where rooms have already been booked for you. 他给你们留下话:你们(应当)去旅馆,房间已经给你们定好了。
-
They usually write exact instructions how the music is to be played. 他们通常还要为如何
演奏他们的乐曲写出精确的说明。
应当注意,连系动词 be + to-v 跟情态习语 be to + v 在形式上是完全一样的,因此,只能从语义上来区分这两种不同的结构,见 。
