suggest 是個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞，后面可以跟名詞、代詞、動(dòng)詞 -ing 形式或從句作它的賓語(yǔ)。各種試題對(duì) suggest 的考查通常涉及到它的非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式、賓語(yǔ)從句及賓語(yǔ)從句的虛擬語(yǔ)氣等方面。下面就結(jié)合歷年高考試題，對(duì) suggest 的用法作一小結(jié)。

　　考點(diǎn)一、 suggest 作“間接表明;建議;使想起”解時(shí)，后面可以跟名詞、代詞或動(dòng)詞 -ing 形式作賓語(yǔ)。例如：

　　① That girl's sun-tanned face suggests excellent health. 那個(gè)姑娘被太陽(yáng)曬黑了的臉表明她身體非常健康。

　　② Mr. Smith suggested a way out of the difficulty. 史密斯先生提出了一個(gè)克服困難的辦法。

　�、� An explanation suddenly suggested itself to me. 一種解釋突然出現(xiàn)在我的腦海里。

　�、� I have written him a letter and suggested his sending it to the Ministry of Culture. 我給他寫(xiě)了一封信，并建議他把它寄給文化部。

　　suggest 后面可以跟“ to sb to do sth ”結(jié)構(gòu)。其中的介詞 to 不能省略。動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ) to do sth 作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。例如：

　�、� Who suggested to you to do it this way? 誰(shuí)提出要你這樣做的?

　　考點(diǎn)二、 suggest 作“建議”解，而且后面跟 that 從句作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)，賓語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，即謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用“( should )動(dòng)詞原形”。例如：

　�、� Almost all his friends suggested that he visit Mr. Johnson at once.

　　② —— The experiment has failed!

　　---- I suggest you try again.

　　考點(diǎn)三、 suggest 作“表明、說(shuō)明、暗示、指出”解，而且后面跟 that 從句作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)，賓語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用陳述語(yǔ)氣。例如：

　　① He often came to the theater， but his attitude suggested he was not really interested in the play.

　　② Jane's pale face suggested that she was ill， and her parents suggested that she have a medical examination.

　　例②中第一個(gè) suggested 作“表明、說(shuō)明”解，所以其后的賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用陳述語(yǔ)氣;第二個(gè) suggested 的意思是“建議”，所以其后的賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，其中的 should 被省略了。

　　考點(diǎn)四、在下列含 suggest 的句式中，如果 suggest 表示“建議”時(shí)，其后的賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍然用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。

　　句式一、 It's suggested that…… (有人建議……)例如：

　　① It's suggested that we ( should ) put on a short play at the party. 有人建議我們?cè)谕頃?huì)上演一個(gè)短劇。

　�、� It has been suggested that Robert should go to Chicago and try to find a job there. 有人建議羅伯特到芝加哥去，設(shè)法在那里找個(gè)工作。

　　句式二、 What ( All that ) sb. suggests is that…… (某人建議的是……)例如：

　�、� What I suggest is that we visit a class right away. 我的建議是我們馬上去聽(tīng)課。

　�、� What she suggested was that the clinic should make better use of those herbs. 她建議醫(yī)療站更好地利用那些草藥。

　　考點(diǎn)五、名詞 suggestion 的用法。

　　suggestion 作“建議”解，后面跟同位語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，以及 suggestion 用作主語(yǔ)，后面跟表語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞均用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。例如：

　�、� My suggestion is that the work should be started at once. 我的建議是立即動(dòng)工。

　　② The monitor's suggestion that she should come another day has not been accepted. 班長(zhǎng)提出的她改天來(lái)的建議還是沒(méi)有被接受。
