类似地,英语不说 hope sb to do sth,而说 hope for sb to do sth,不说 wait sb to do sth,而说 wait for sb do sth,不说long sb to do sth,而说long for sb to do sth等。另外还有,英语习惯上不说 demand sb to do sth,而说 demand of sb to do sth。
一、英语可说arrange to do sth:其意为“安排或准备做某事”。如:
They arranged to start early. 他们准备一早出发。
I’ve arranged to see her tonight. 我已安排今晚同他见面。
We still have to arrange how (when) to go there. 我们还得安排如何(何时)去那儿。
二、英语不能说arrange to do sth:可改用arrange for sb to do sth,其意为“安排某人做某事”。如:
He’s arranged for me to attend the meeting. 他已安排我去参加会议。
We have arranged for the car to come at nine. 我们已安排好让汽车9点钟来。
注:该结构有时可与后接从句的句型转换。如:(from www.nmet168.com)
We arranged for the meeting to be put off for a week. / We arranged that the meeting (should) be put off for a week. 我们安排把会议推迟一周后召开。
