1. 表示记住将要做的事,其后接不定式。如:
Remember to turn out the lights before you go to bed. 临睡前别忘了关灯。
You must remember to fetch Mr Lewis from the station tomorrow. 你必须记住明天到车站去接刘易斯先生。
2. 表示记得曾经做过的事,其后接动名词(可用一般式或完成式)。如:
I remember meeting her at a party once. 我记得在一次晚会上见过她一次。
I remember reading [having read] about the earthquake in the papers. 我记得在报纸上看到过关于这次地震的消息。
偶尔也接不定式的完成式表示记得做过的事,但在现代英语中很不普通。
3. 后接不定式或动名词时,有时可带逻辑主语,此时通常可用that从句来改写。如:
我记得她曾经这样说过。
正:I remember her to have said so.
正:I remember that she said so.
我记不起你这样说过。
正:I can’t remember you [your] saying so.
正:I can’t remember that you have said so.
4. 比较以下两句分介词 to 和 as 含义不同:
I remember him as a naughty little boy. 在我印象中,他是个小淘气鬼。
Please remember me to your parents. 请代我向你父母问好。
