4)不定式作定语
不定式结构作名词词组修饰语主要有三种类型:
第一种,被修饰的名词词组是不定式的逻辑宾语。例如:1.There was really nothing to fear.2.He gave me an interesting book to read.
如果不定式是不及物动词,后面就得加相应的介词。例如:1.Mary needs a friend to play with.2.That girl has nothing to worry about.3.They have a strict teacher to listen to.4.Although the film had been on for ten minutes,I still was not able to find a chair to sit on.
第二种,被修饰的名词词组是不定式的逻辑主语;例如:1.Have you got a key to unlock the door?2.The action to be taken is correct.3.There is nothing to be gained by pretending.
第三种,被修饰的名词词组是不定式的同位结构。这类名词通常是表示企图、努力、倾向、目的、愿望、is算、能力、意向等意义的名词:ability,attempt,effort,impulse,inclination,wish等。例如:1.Her daughter will make an even bigger effort to please her.2.I have no wishto quarrel withyou.3.Neither of them had any inclination to do business with Mary.

例如作原因状语:1.They are quite surprised to see the great changes taking place in the area.2.They are quite surprised because they see the great changes taking place in the area.3.He was lucky to arrive before dark.4.He was lucky because he arrived before dark.
作目的状语:1.She raised her voice to be heared better.2.She raised her voice so that she could heard better.3.We went via Heidelberg to miss the traffic jam.4.We went via Heidelberg so that we could miss the traffic jam.
作结果状语:1.The French football team played so successfully as to defeat the Brazilians.2.The French football team played so successfully that they even defeated the Brazilians.3.He got to the station only to be told the train had gone.4.He got to the station and was told that the train had gone.
