昨天(12月22日)本人回答了楼主的提问,且位列第一:
今天发现语句太少,无法引起注意,只好修改一番。
答案是:绝对没有buy?sth.?to?sb. 提问很简单,回答也简洁明了。
但是,如果要把知识点延伸,那么就比较复杂了。
“动词+间宾+直宾”的间宾后置现象:
(1) verb + sth. + to + sb.(当间宾很长,或直宾是代词时,间宾就会后置)例子:
The company offer $100 to any reader who could relate what Mr. Hawking said.
I have finished the book and I will give it to you.
常见的这类动词有:
give, pay, show, send, bring, take, mail,offer, read, pass, lend, leave, hand, tell, return, write, throw, allow, wish,teach, promise, owe, award, accord, grant?
(2)verb + sth. +for + sb.
常见的这类动词有:
buy, do, get, paint,sing, find,build,change,choose, prepare,pick,make, fetch,draw, play, save, reserve, spare,order, cook
区别
to表示方向,常译作“给”或“到”;for表示对某人有益的事,常译作“为”或“帮”。
例如:
Kate wrote a letter to her mother. (凯特给她妈妈写了封信。)
Kate wrote a letter for her mother.(凯特帮她妈妈写了封信。)
为什么有此疑问呢?请看类似的提问:(竟然有159个赞!)
实际上,这是一个伪命题,根本没有buy sth. to sb.之说。
本人通过各大搜索引擎,都查不到buy sth. to sb.,唯独百度上有这种“问题”。
各种权威词典(纸质的、电子的、在线的)都没有buy something to somebody。
