核心问题
He insisted that I ____ to lunch. A. stay B. stayed C. must stay D. have got
郑孝通编著的《“高中英语”重点·难点纵横谈》(二)(中国科技大学出版社,p.61)认为上道题的唯一正确答案是A(stay)。但我认为,选择项C(must stay)也是同样正确的。不知我的看法是否正确?
词典解答
你的看法是正确的。你从下面的实例可以看出，在 insist 等动词之后，that 从句也可以使用 should 以外的情态动词。例如：
-
She insisted that Jim must leave. 她坚持吉姆必须离开。
-
She insisted that he must go out no more until he was cured. 她坚持在他病好之前不许他再外出。
-
When I shared the story with the King, he insisted that I must see it for myself. (Hillary, Living History) 国王听说此事后，坚持要让我亲自验证比尔的说法。
