to-v 作结果状语 ¹

核心问题

Many of the streets in Disneyland are built to look like streets in the USA in the 1890s. 上句中的动词不定式短语 to look like... 应如何分析?

词典解答

上句中的动词不定式短语应分析为结果状语。上句的意思是:“迪斯尼乐园里的许多街道修建得好像是19世纪90年代的美国街道。”动词不定式用作结果状语是很常见的。

  1. He returned home to find his friend Tom waiting for him. 他回到家里,发现他的朋友汤姆正在等他。

  2. He lived to be a very old man. 他活得很长寿。

动词不定式所表示的结果有时是出乎意料的,甚至是不幸的:

  1. Mary drove all the way to Maine, to find that her friends had moved to Florida. 玛丽驱车一路驶到缅因州,结果发现她的朋友已搬到佛罗里达州去了。

  2. He left his native country never to return. 他离开了故乡,再也没有回来。

  3. We returned by motorcade to the President's residence to find it transformed. (Hillary, Living History) 我们搭乘车队回到总统官邸,发现它已经改头换面了。(希拉里,《亲历历史》)
