Make用法一览

动词make的用法比较复杂重要,不易掌握.归纳起来,主要有以下一些用法：

1．make+名词（代词）+动词不定式短语,-ed分词短语,介词短语,名词短语,形容词或形容词短语.如：

She made all of us laugh. 她使得我们都笑

注意：不定式短语在主动结构中作宾语补足语时,不带to；但在被动结构中作主语补足语时,不定式短语则必须带to.如：

we were made to laugh by her.

It was the determination that made life worth living for so many honest people．

正是这种决心使许多正直的人生活得有意义.

2．make+形容词（短语）+名词短语是一种倒装结构.为使句子结构保持平衡,通常将较长的名词短语移置补足语之后,不加引导词汇作形式宾语.如：

The telescope made possible the observation of the far-off stars．

望远镜使人们能够观察遥远的星球.

在现代英语中能够用于这一结构中的形容词越来越多.又如：

The primary aim of every punctuation mark is to make unmistakable the meaning of written words．

写作时应用标点符号的基本目的,是使所用词语的意义不致被误解.

3．make+it+形容词+不定式短语（从句）不定式短语或从句作宾语时,需移置宾语补语之后,在原来宾语的位置上用引导词it作形式宾语,从而使句子保持平衡.如:
