语法拓展

宾语补足语

在英语中有些及物动词，接了宾语后意义仍不完整，还需要有一个其他的句子成分来补充说明宾语的意义、状态等，这一成分被称为宾语补足语，简称宾补。宾语与宾语补足语的在一起称为复合宾语。

1) 常跟复合宾语的动词有：call, name, make, think, find, leave, keep, nominate（任命）, choose; elect（选举）, define（定义）, regard, see, recognize, treat, take, consider, look up, refer to（提到）, accept（接受）, acknowledge（承认）,describe, depict（描述）, represent（表现出）, declare（宣称）, denounce（指责）, employ（雇佣）, use, show, organize, express（表达）等。

2) 一般情况下，宾补紧跟在宾语之后。能够充当宾语补足语的成分有：不定式，现在分词，过去分词，形容词，副词，介词短语等。例如：

I find learning English difficult.（difficult 是形容词作宾补）

I saw the kite up and down.（up and down 是副词作宾补）

He required us to be present at the meeting.（to be present 是不定式作宾补）
