demand与 require的用法辨析
hito李回答:
demand与 require的用法辨析一、两者在含义上的区别1. 有时可互换。如:They demand [require] my appearance. 他们要求我到场。2. 两者的细微区别是:demand 通常指坚持其应该有或必要的东西,暗示要求者有权这样做,常有命令之意;require 通常指按照法律、规章、规定、惯例、环境等提出要求,其客观性较强。比较:The policeman demanded his name and address. 警察要他说出他的名字和地址。We require warm clothing for the winter. 我们需要过冬的暖和的衣服。注:用于事物时,两者都表示“需要”,有时可换用,其区别仍然是require 的客观性较强。如:The letter demands [requires] an immediate answer. 这信要求立即答复。The court requires the attendance of witnesses. 法庭要求证人出庭。二、两者在结构上的区别1. 两者后都可接 that从句,但从句谓语通常用“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式。如:He demands [requires] that I (should) leave at once. 他要求我马上离开。His wife demanded [required] that I should tell him everything. 他的妻子要求我把一切都告诉他。The boss required [demanded] that everyone (should) attend the meeting. 老板要求人人参加会议。(D22)2. demand 后可接不定式,但不接动名词;而require表示“要求”时,其后既不接不定式也不接动名词。如:She demanded to see the manager. 她要求见经理。He demanded to be told everything. 他要求把一切都告诉他。注意:require 表示“需要”时,其后可接动名词(用主动表被动)或不定式(用被动形式表被动)。如:The room requires cleaning [to be cleaned]. 房间需要打扫了。The machine requires repairing [to be repaired]. 这机器需要修理了。3. demand 不接不定式的复合结构,但 require 后可接不定式的复合结构。如:They required him to keep it a secret. 他们要求他对这事保密。All the members are required to attend the meeting. 全部会员均要求出席会议。注:demand 后不接不定式的复合结构,但 demand of 后可接不定式的复合结构。如:他们要求她同他们一起去。误:They demanded her to go with them. 正:They demanded of her to go with them. 比较:They demanded that she should go with them.4. 表示“向某人要求某物”,可用 demand sth of [from] sb。如: He demanded too high a price of me. 他向我要价太高。He demanded an apology from the boss. 他要求老板道歉。require 有时也这样用,但更多是其被动语态后接 of sb。如:What do you require of me? 你要求我做什么? I have done everything that was required of me. 一切要我做的事情我都已经做好了。注:若想一次获取更多相关内容,《中学英语同义词词典》。 说明:引用此文请注明出处,并请保留该文章链接地址,谢谢~~
