remind
1.比较下面两句:
- He reminded me to write the letter.(他[有意地或无意地]提醒我,叫我写那信。)
- He reminded me of writing the letter.(他[有意地或无意地]使我想起写过那信。)
2.remind的宾语后面可以接以that,how等词引导的从句。例如:He reminded me that I ought to do it at once.和He reminded me how careful I ought to be in doing it.
3.“某人(A)remind某人(B)of某人(C)”往往作“A在外貌上像C,所以使B见了A便想起C”解。例如:You remind me of Addison.(你在外貌上像Addison,所以使我见了你便想起Addison。)这用法有时也用在比喻里。例如:He reminded me of a tiger.(他在外貌上像虎,所以使我见了他便想起虎。)
