happen的語法特點及句型搭配
1. 表示某事發生某人身上,其後接介詞 to。如:
Nobody will ever know what happened to her. 誰都不會知道她出了什麼事。
She hoped nothing bad would happen to him. 她希望不會有壞事發生在他頭上。
2. 表示“發生”,是不及物動詞,因此既不能帶賓語,也不能用於被動語態。如:
事故是怎樣發生的?
誤:How was the accident happened?
正:How did the accident happen?
3. 表示“碰巧”,也是不及物動詞,比較以下同義句型:
我昨天偶然在公園裏看到她。
I happened to see her in the park yesterday.
=It (so) happened that I saw her in the park yesterday.
4. 後接介詞 on / upon,表示“巧遇”“偶然發現”。如:
I happened upon her in the street the other day. 幾天前我在街上碰巧遇見了她。
He happened on the book in the bookstore. 他在書店偶然發現了這本書。
5. 用於as it happens,意爲“偶然”“碰巧”。如:
As it happens, I have left the book at home. 我碰巧把書忘在家裏了。
We met her only yesterday, as it happens. 我們只是在昨天才與她偶然相遇。
