句子:At the time, the Dolch List was widely adhered to by publisher of textbooks for beginning readers.
请问老师:句子里有一个to与by连用的状况,这里我把句子还原成:publisher of textbooks for beginning readers adhered widely to the Dolch List. 但问题在于adhere to这个词组,adhere这里是不及物动词,不及物动词难道可以加介词变成及物动词变成被动吗?这样的情况常见吗?
网友的问题,是“短语动词的被动语态”。即有的不及物动词 + 介词,构成短语动词。这类短语动词,有些是可以变成被动语态的。容易见到的有:adhere to (坚持),look at(看), look after(照料), listen to(倾听), move into(搬入), break into(破门而入)等。
Ancient buildings are carefully looked after.古时候建筑被精心地保护着。
The new song is not popular and is seldom listened to. 这支新歌不受青睐,极少让人听。
除此之外,网友的例句中,publisher 漏掉冠词,或用复数。
