可以用 remember 的一个句型:
remember me to sb
这个用法说陌生也不算陌生,歌曲 Scarborough Fair 一开始就这样唱到:
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one
who lives there.She once was the true love of mine.
最后两行翻译过来:
替我向那里的一位姑娘问个好。她曾经是我的真爱。
句型用在信件里,可以写:
Remember me to your parents. 替我向你父母问候。
当然,这个句型里的人物可以灵活变化:
He asked me to remember him to you. 他让我替他向你问候。
我们也能感觉到,这个句型听起来很文绉绉。更加随意的写法是:
Please say hello to everyone for me. 请替我向大家问好。
remember to do / remember doing
记得“做过某事”,用 remember doing:
She remembers seeing him leave an hour ago. 她记得一个小时前看到他离开了。
I can still vividly remember
my grandfather teaching me to play cards
(= my grandfather taught me to play cards). 我还清楚地记得爷爷教我打牌。 — 括号里的句型是:remember (that) + 宾语从句
告诉别人“别忘记做某事”,用 remember to do:
Remember to lock the door. 记得锁上门。
