宾语从句中有一种特殊的宾语，即同源宾语。那么同源宾语究竟是什么呢？小编给同学们作了详细了解析，一起来看看吧！

同源宾语（Cognate Object）定义

少数不及物动词能带一个在词根上与动词相同或相近意义的宾语，即同源宾语

1. 能带同源宾语的动词有：lead, live, die, sleep, dream, breathe, smile, laugh, fight, run, sing等。

Under the leadership of the Party, the peasants are living a happy life. 在党的领导下，农民过着幸福的生活。

I dreamed a terrible dream last night. 昨晚我做了个可怕的梦。

Our soldiers fought a wonderful fight against the floods last August. 上个八月份，我们的士兵抗击洪水，打了一场漂亮仗。

He died a heroic death.  

2. 同源宾语前面可带形容词作定语。这时，“动词+定语+同源宾语”的结构在意义上相当于“动词+与定语意义相同的状语”。二者相比，前者语气更强一些。

 We slept a comfortable sleep last night.

 (= We slept comfortably last night.)

Professor Smith died a sudden death last Wednesday.

（= Professor Smith died suddenly last Wednesday.）

注意：同源宾语前面通常带有定语。

fight a good fight         breathe a deep breath

laugh a foolish laugh      smile a forced smile

3. 同源宾语的修饰语是形容词最高级或含有最高级意义时，该同源宾语常可以省去。

You should run your fastest（race）.

The old man breathed his last（breath）this morning.
