oblige(d) 的用法及固定搭配

oblige(d)

1.oblige作“赐恩惠给…”解。例如:You will oblige me by calling at the office tomorrow morning.和Please oblige me by closing the window. obliged只指小事情,不指大事情,如不可说The party obliged me by supporting my family during my long illness。表示感激该用被动语态,obliged的一切结构跟indebted相同。参见indebted

2.and oblige是商业信函末尾的陈套语,oblige把下面的签名做宾语,所以后面不该用句号。例如:

Kindly look into the matter, and oblige

Yours very truly,

Henry A. Wilcox

这种用法现在比以前少见,在一般通信里该避免。
