determine的用法与搭配

1. 表示“决心”“决定”,是及物动词,其后可接:

(1) 名词或代词。如:

We’ll have to determine a date for the meeting. 我们得确定会议日期。

The exam results could determine your career. 考试成绩可能会决定你的前途。

(2) 不定式。如:

He determined to travel no further that night. 他决定那天晚上不再往前走了。

有时不定式前可用连接代词(副词)。如:

I haven’t determined what to do next. 下一步干什么我还没决定。

其后不能直接跟动名词,但加了介词on后则可以。如:

I determined on going abroad. 我决定出国。

determine on后还可接名词。如:

I determined on an early start. 我决定早点出发。

(3) 不定式的复合结构。如:

What determined her to marry him? 是什么使她下定决心要嫁给他?

使某人决定或下决心不做某事,可以用determine sb not to do sth,也可用determine sb against doing sth。如:

That determined her not to leave [against leaving\ home. 那件事使她决定不离开家了。

(4) 从句。如:

He determined that he would go at once. 他决定马上就去。

We haven’t determined who will go with them. 我们还没有作出决定让谁同他们一起去。

后接that从句时,从句谓语可用陈述语气或虚拟语气,区别为:强调事实,用陈述语气;强调愿望,用虚拟语气。如:

She determined that she (should) never see him again. 她决心再也不要见他。

They determined that they will go there themselves. 他们决定亲自去那里。

2. 用于 be determined+不定式或从句。如:

I am determined to go and nothing will stop me. 我已决定要去,什么也阻止不了我。

My mother is determined that I shall [should] marry the singer. 我母亲决意要我嫁给这位歌手。

比较下面两句在含义上的差别:

I have determined to go abroad. 我已决定出国。

I am determined to go abroad. 我已下定决心要出国。

在前一句里,determine 是界限动词,强调一时的动作;在第二句里,determined 用作形容词,说明的是一种状态,即一种坚定不移的决心。
