大家好,歡迎收聽 BBC英語教學的 “你問我答” 節目。I'm Jiaying.

And I'm Beth. This week we are answering this question:
Question
英語考試的題干中常有這種提問:如 “advise、suggest” 和 “recommend” 這類表示 “建議” 和 “推薦” 的詞后面跟的動詞有時加 “to”,有時不加 “to”,該如何區分?
Jiaying
謝謝你發來的問題。動詞 “advise、suggest” 和 “recommend” 的意思都是 “建議,推薦”。
Beth
To explain the difference, we're going to hear someone speaking about careers advice.
Jiaying
在聽音頻的過程中,想一想這個問題:What does the speaker recommend?
Example
When I was a student, I spoke to Careers Advice about finding a job and they advised writing a CV. I'd suggest that you do the same. I recommend this great website which gives you some example CVs. Let me find the name for you…
(我在校期間,聯系了學校的就業指導中心,咨詢求職事宜,他們建議我寫一份個人簡歷。我建議你也寫一份簡歷。我給你推薦一個非常實用的網站,上面有一些簡歷范例。我找一下網站名稱,然后給你……)
Beth
The speaker recommends speaking to Careers Advice and a website with example CVs. So, let's start with looking at the similarities between 'advise', 'suggest' and 'recommend'. All three can be followed by an -ing verb.
Jiaying
回顧一下,動詞 “advise、suggest” 和 “recommend” 都有 “建議” 的意思。從用法上看,它們的第一個共同點是后面都可以直接加動詞-ing。再來聽一遍前面音頻中的這句話:
Example
I spoke to Careers Advice about finding a job and they advised writing a CV.
Jiaying
我們也可以在 “suggest” 和 “recommend” 的后面加上動詞-ing。來聽兩個例句。
Examples
I recommend getting some work experience.
(我建議你積累一些工作經驗。)
I suggest talking to your teachers.
(我建議你和老師們談談。)
Beth
Also, after all three verbs 'advise', 'suggest' and 'recommend', we can use a clause that begins with 'that'.
Jiaying
是的,這三個動詞的第二個共同點是它們的后面都可以跟 “that” 引導的從句。來聽三個例句。
Examples
I'd suggest that you do the same.
I'd recommend that you do the same.
I'd advise that you do the same.
Beth
In these sentences, it's also possible to remove 'that'.
Examples
I'd suggest you do the same.
I'd recommend you do the same.
I'd advise you do the same.
Jiaying
在上面的三個例句中,動詞 “advise、suggest” 和 “recommend” 的后面均省略了 “that”,句子同樣成立,且句意不變。
下面來看看這三個動詞的第三個共同點:它們的后面都可以跟名詞或名詞成分。先來再聽一遍前面音頻中的這句話:
Example
I recommend this great website which gives you some example CVs.
Beth
'Recommend' here is followed by the noun phrase 'this great website which gives you example CVs'. Here are examples with 'suggest' and 'advise', too.
Examples
I suggest a cover letter.
(我建議你寫一封求職信。)
I advise a practice interview to help you feel more comfortable under pressure.
(我建議你進行一次面試模擬練習,這樣你能在壓力下發揮得更自如。)
Jiaying
說完了這三個動詞的共同點,我們來看一看它們之間的不同之處。
Beth
'Advise' is most often used by an authority and is therefore the most formal of the verbs. It's often used in this way when there is a consequence if the advice isn't followed. In terms of use, it can be followed by a pronoun and an infinitive verb plus 'to'.
Jiaying
動詞 “advise” 在表示 “建議” 時常常有 “奉勸,勸告” 的意味,而且這個 “advise” 的行為通常來自權威人士,也就是說如果不聽,就可能會產生相應的后果。“Advise” 是三個詞當中最正式的一個。除了前面講到的 “advise” 的用法以外,我們還可以說 “advise someone to do something(建議某人做某事)”。來聽兩個例句。
Examples
I advise you to submit your application early.
(我建議你盡早提交申請。)
I advised him to call the company on the phone.
(當時我建議他給公司打電話。)
Jiaying
動詞 “suggest” 和 “recommend” 則沒有加人稱代詞及不定式 “to do” 的用法。
下面我們來對比一下這兩個動詞。當 “suggest” 和 “recommend” 表示 “建議” 時,通常可以互換使用,強調 “根據個人經歷提出建議”。
Beth
One difference though is that 'suggest' is usually used for neutral things – it can be used in a positive or negative situation.
Jiaying
而動詞 “recommend” 則通常強調 “說話人推薦自己認為很不錯的人或物”。來聽兩個例句。
Examples
I would suggest telling him about your concerns.
(我建議你把你的顧慮告訴他。)
I'd recommend Natasha for the job. She's a very hard worker.
(我推薦娜塔莎做這份工作。她工作很努力。)
Jiaying
動詞 “advise、suggest” 和 “recommend” 都可以跟動詞-ing、“that” 引導的從句和名詞或名詞成分,但只有 “advise” 后面可以跟人稱代詞和不定式 “to do”。它是三個詞當中最正式的一個。動詞 “recommend” 表示 “說話人推薦自己認為很好的人或物”,而 “suggest” 則只能表示 “建議”。
