resolve(d)
1.下面两句意思不同:
- He resolved to do it.(他决意做这个[是一时的动作]。)
- He was resolved to do it.(他已经决意做这个[表示状态]。)
第二句里的resolved是不及物动词的过去分词用作形容词。一个人一经resolve,便继续be resolved。这两句里用resolved都不及用determined通俗。参见determine(d) 2
2.下面每组里的两句意思相同,第一句比第二句普通。
- He resolved to do it.
He resolved (up)on doing it. - That resolved him to do it.
That resolved him (up)on doing it.
3.resolve(决议)后面接以that引导的从句,从句里用should或虚拟现在式。例如:We have resolved that our school should have a dining-room. 和We have resolved that our school have(不用has)a dining-room. We resolved that our school should have a dining-room. 和We resolved that our school have(不用had)a dining-room.
4.Resolved, That thinking is as important as doing等表达方式里的Resolved是过去分词,后面用逗号或冒号都可以,That必须用大写字母开首。
5.参见resolution 2
