object complement(宾语补足语) ¹

在分析 see sth. carried out 之前,应当搞清楚整个句子的结构:that 从句是名词 the plan 的定语从句,其中的关系代词 that 在从句中作 see 的宾语。如把 that 还原为名词,则其结构为 They would like to see the plan carried out the next year. 其中的 see the plan carried out 便是动词 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语的结构(有些语法学家把宾语 + 宾语补足语结构称作复合宾语)。不要把宾语 + 宾语补足语仅仅理解为 see sb. do/doing 这样单纯的形式。实际上,它有多种多样的形式: A. 名词(代词) + to-v 或 v:

1. She wanted me to give her some money. 她想让我给她点儿钱。

2. George watched them eat. 乔治看着他们吃饭。

B. 名词(代词) + 名词:

1. They named the baby John. 他们给这个婴儿起名为约翰。

2. The public at large still considered her smile a great mystery. (Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code) 大多数人还是认为她的微笑非常神秘。(《达·芬奇密码》) C. 名词(代词) + 分词:

3. I found him drinking my whiskey. 我发现他正在喝我的威士忌。

4. I have never seen the word used that way before. 我从未看到过这个词这么用。

5. Many towns and villages had their water supply cut off because there was no electricity. (SEFC, 2A, p.62) 因为没有电,所以许多城镇和村庄都断了水。

D. 名词(代词) + 形容词(见 object complement $^{3,4,6}$ ):

1. The man with a toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. 牙痛的人认为一切牙齿好的人都很幸福。

2. I found the film very interesting. 我认为这部电影很有趣。

E. 名词(代词) + 介词短语:

F. 名词(代词) + 副词:
