Dare, meaning have the courage to do something, can also be used in two ways:
Dare的意思是“有勇氣做某事”,它也有兩種用法:
dare 作實義動詞
* as an ordinary verb followed by an infinitive with to, with s in the third person singularand with questions and negatives formed with do:
作為實義動詞時,接帶to的不定式,第三人稱單數(shù)作主語時加s,疑問句和否定句用do來構成:
He never dares to criticise her for wasting money and she doesn’t dare to interrupt him when he’s working.
他從不敢批評她浪費錢,而她不敢打擾他工作。
dare 作情態(tài)動詞
* as a modal auxiliary verb followed by an infinitive without to, with no third person singular s and with questions and negatives without do:
作為情態(tài)助動詞時,接不帶to的不定式,第三人稱單數(shù)作主語時不加s,疑問句和否定句不需要用do來構成:
Dare she tell him what she thinks about him? She daren’t say anything. He will only shout at her. "How dare you speak to me like that?" he will say.
她敢告訴他她對他的想法嗎?她什么也不敢說。他只會對著她咆哮:“你怎敢那樣對我說話?”他肯定會這么說。
