v.(动词)

insist的基本意思是“坚持”,常用于坚持意见、看法、主张等。

insist既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。作及物动词时,不能用名词、代词或动词不定式作宾语,只能接that引导的从句。若指尚未发生的动作,从句谓语常用虚拟语气(should+动词原形或直接用动词原形); 若表示一个已发生的动作或已存在的状态时,从句谓语多用陈述语气。that有时可以省略。

insist用作不及物动词时,其后常须加介词on〔upon〕,然后接名词、代词或动名词。该动名词前可加物主代词或名词、人称代词的宾格形式作其逻辑主语,该动名词的否定形式是在其前直接加not。

v.(动词)她执意要走,因为天太晚了。

误 She insisted to leave because it was so late.

正 She insisted on leaving because it was so late.

析 insist后面不能用动词不定式作宾语。表示“坚持做某事”,应该说insist on〔upon〕 doing sth,其中insist是不及物动词,在介词on或upon后常接动名词。

我们坚持要他来。

误 We insisted in him coming.

正 We insisted on〔upon〕 him coming.

析 insist作不及物动词用,后面加介词on或upon,表示“坚持做某事”,但不能加介词in。

她要我们在那里吃晚饭。

误 She insisted on that we should have supper there.

正 She insisted that we should have supper there.

析 当insist后跟that从句作宾语时,不能再加介词on,此时insist是及物动词,表示“坚决要求,一定要”。

因为她的血压大大高于正常值,医生坚持说她不能吸烟。

误 Since her blood pressure is much higher than it should be, her doctor insists that she will not smoke.

正 Since her blood pressure is much higher than it should be, her doctor insists that she should not smoke.

析 insist连接that引导的宾语从句指尚未发生的动作时,从句使用虚拟语气。

那个阿拉伯人坚持说他从来也没见到过那只骆驼。

误 The Arab insisted that he should never seen the camel.

正 The Arab insisted that he had never seen the camel.

析 insist表示坚持已存在的事实或已发生的动作时, that引导的宾语从句不用虚拟式,而须用陈述式。

He insisted that he had done right.他坚决认为自己做对了。

They insist that I stay there for supper.他们坚决要求让我留下吃晚饭。

用作不及物动词(vi.)
