A 这类动词中最重要的有 ask， beg， expect， would hate， help， intend，like（=think wise／right）， would like（=enjoy），would love， mean， prefer， want， wish：He likes to eat well．他喜欢吃得好一点。He likes his staff to eat well．他喜欢要他的工作人员吃得好一点儿。I want to ride．I want you to ride too． 我想骑马。我想要你去骑马。B ask和 beg ask+不定式的含义与ask+宾语+不定式不同：I asked to speak to Mrs Jones．我要找琼斯太太谈话。相当于：I said，‘Could I speak to Mrs Jones？’我说：“我能跟琼斯太太讲话吗？”但是：I asked Bill to speak to her． 我要比尔找她谈一谈。I said，‘Bill， would you speak to her？’我说：“比尔，请你找她谈一谈好吗？”beg也是同样情况，尽管beg之后通常不直接跟不定式：I begged（to be allowed） to go．我请他允许我去。相当于：I said，‘Please let me go．’ 我说：“请让我去。”I begged him to go．我要求他去。相当于：I said，‘Please go．’ 我说：“请你去吧。”ask和beg后面可接that…should结构。（参见第235节。）C expect+不定式和expect+宾语+不定式可有相同含义：I expect to arrive tomorrow． 我预计明天到达。相当于：I think it is likely that I will arrive tomorrow．我想我很可能明天到达。I expect him to arrive tomorrow．我预计他明天到达。相当于：I think it is likely that he will arrive tomorrow．我想他很可能明天到达。但expect+宾语+不定式常常含有义务的意思：He expects his wife to bring him breakfast in bed at weekends．他指望他妻子在周末把早饭送到床边。（他认为他妻子有义务这样做。）expect后面也可跟that+主语+动词结构，这时不含有义务的意思。D 关于 care， hate， like， love和 prefer与不定式或动名词连用的例句请参见第294至第298节。intend，mean和want后面也可接动名词。（参见第266节。）
