ask with用…(方式)问

v.(动词)

ask的基本意思是“问,询问”,指对不知道或不明白的事情、道理、情况提出问题请别人解答,或向别人打听、探询以便了解,所问之事与被询问者可能有关,也可能无关。ask还可作“请求,要求”解,指说明自己的请求和愿望,以获得所要的东西或所要达到的目的,有期望答复(特别是肯定的答复)的含义。ask还可引申表示“邀请”。ask是最普通的不带感情色彩的用词,使用范围广,无论是下级对上级,晚辈对长辈,学生对老师均可使用。

ask用作及物动词,其后可接名词、代词、带或不带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句作宾语, that从句中常使用虚拟式。

ask还可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。ask也可接双宾语,这时两个宾语都是直接宾语,指物的直接宾语可由名词、代词、带疑问词的动词不定式或wh-从句充当。ask接两个宾语转换成被动结构时多以表示人的宾语作主语,且by可省略。此外还可接以副词或介词短语充当补足语的复合宾语。

ask的宾语后常接介词短语表示附加意义,如接about表示询问的内容,接of表示询问的对象,接for表示索要的物品,接from表示“要求得到或见到”。

ask也可用作不及物动词,其后一般接介词after〔for〕。ask after表示“问候”, ask for表示“要求得到或见到”。

ask在大部分情况下是指“问”，如ask her name（问她的名字），ask the way（问路），但在于price搭配时，表达两种意思，“问价”和“讨价”。

I asked her the price.
这里指问价。

I asked the price of ￥20.
这里指讨价。

ask后可带直接宾语和间接宾语，如ask his name和ask him。也可带双宾语，但是要注意将间接宾语（指人的词）先放在前面，中间不需要任何介词连接。

She asked me my opinion.
她问我的意见。

ask后可接of，但多半情况下，省略of。如句子I asked him a question比I asked a question of him的用法普遍，而 She has a question to ask (of) you和she asked (of) me中的of均可省略。不过，在特定的句子中，of 不可省略。

I am afraid it is too much to ask of him.
句中的ask做请求的意思。

ask和ask for都有“请求”的意思，而前者常用在无形的物体上，后者则可同时用在有形和无形的物体上。如ask a favour，ask advice和ask for bread，ask for money。如果在这两种表达方式后加被请求的人，那么用ask时该在宾语后加of 和人，而用ask for时该在ask和for中间加人，如ask a favour of her和ask him for meat。通常情况下，ask在指“请求”时，后要求带双宾语，但比较特殊的是，favour是直接宾语，所以可以将ask a favour of him改为ask him a favour，不能说ask him advice或ask him permission；

ask 指“请求”时，后可接that从句，句中用shall，should或虚拟现在式。

I ask that he shall/should call this evening.
I ask that he call (不用calls) this evening.

ask后还可以带不定式。

I asked to go home.
I asked for the children to have extra milk.

注意下列各句的意思：

She asked me something.
她问我一个问题，一些事。

She asked me for something.
她向我要些东西。

He asked about her.
他问起她。

He asked after she.
他问起她的健康情况。

He asked for her.
他问起要见她，与其联系。

v.(动词)我们要求见经理。

误 We asked seeing the manager.

正 We asked to see the manager.

析 ask后可接动词不定式作宾语,但不可接动名词作宾语。

是汤姆开门让我进来的。

误 It is Tom who opened the door and asked me to come in.

正 It is Tom who opened the door and asked me in.

析 ask作“邀请”解时已含有“进去”或“出来”的意味,后面不用再加to come或to go。

他问我火车什么时候离开。

误 He asked me when was the train leaving.

正 He asked me when the train was leaving.

析 ask在接转述的wh-从句中主语和谓语动词不调换位置,也就是说,在wh-从句中应该使用陈述句语序,不用疑问句语序。

他问我的名字。

误 He asked to me my name.

正 He asked me my name.

析 在ask后不能用to来引出被问者是谁。

我请他今晚来访。

误 I ask him that he calls on me this evening.

正 I ask him that he call on me this evening.

析 ask作“请求”解接that从句时,从句须用虚拟语气, should常可省略。
