make somebody ( sth ) +動詞 使某人做某事
“make+賓語+動詞原形”形態(tài)是典型的祈使句型。比具有相同含義的 have 或 get 的語氣更重,因此 make 表示一種強(qiáng)制性,無論賓語愿不愿意,都要按照主語的意愿行事。
例句:
Don't make me laugh!
別逗我!
There are ways to make this work.
肯定有辦法讓它動起來的。
You'll make it happen. I'm sure about that.
你肯定能成功,我對此堅(jiān)信不疑。
This sauce is so spicy, it's making my mouth burn.
這醬很辣,我的嘴唇都快爆開了。
對話:
A: My television has been broken for a week.
我的電視機(jī)壞了一個星期了。
B: Let me look at it. I can make this work.
讓我瞧瞧,我能把它修好。
