在英语语法中,“keep + 宾语 + 过去分词(done)”是一种常见的结构,用于表示“使某人/某物处于某种被完成或被动的状态”。这种结构强调结果状态的持续。
基本结构
keep + 宾语 + 过去分词(done)
- keep the door locked(让门一直锁着)
- keep your hands washed(保持双手清洁)
- keep the lights turned off(让灯一直关着)
注意事项
1. “done”在这里是过去分词,不是动词原形,因此不能说 “keep sb do”。
2. 该结构常用于描述一种持续的被动状态,而不是一次性动作。
3. 主语通常是人,宾语可以是人或物。
常见错误示例
- ❌ Keep him go. → ✅ Keep him gone.(虽然语法上可能成立,但语义不自然)
- ❌ Keep the window open it. → ✅ Keep the window opened.(更自然的说法是 “keep the window open”,因为 open 也可作形容词)
实用例句
- Please keep the documents signed and ready.
- She kept her hair dyed red for years.
- They kept the project finished ahead of schedule.
掌握 “keep sb/sth done” 结构有助于提升英语表达的准确性和地道程度。建议结合具体语境多加练习。
