Инфинитив (The Infinitive)

 

Инфинитив (the Infinitive) произошел от отглагольного существительного (the Verbal Noun).

Как неличная форма глагола, близкая к существительному, инфинитив выполняет в предложении все те синтаксические функции, которые выполняет существительное, а именно: подлежащего, дополнения, обстоятельства, определения, части составного именного и простого сказуемого и, кроме того, части сложного составного сказуемого.

Наиболее типичным свойством инфинитива как глагола является его способность выражать характер действия (длительность, законченность) и залог.

Являясь неличной формой глагола, инфинитив не может выражать лицо, число и наклонение. Но вместе со вспомогательным или модальным глаголом-связкой, выражающими лицо, число, время, он образует простое сказуемое, составное глагольное сказуемое, составное именное сказуемое.

Инфинитив может также выполнять функции подлежащего, дополнения, определения, обстоятельства.

В английском языке имеется шесть форм инфинитива, которые соответствуют четырем группам времен, два из которых имеют форму страдательного залога (для переходных глаголов).

 

    Инфинитив Время Залог
Действительный Страдательный
Не пер­фектный     Выражает действие, одновременное с действием, выраженным глаголом-сказуемым Indefinite to read to be read
Continuous to be reading —
Перфект­ный     Выражает действие, предшествовавшее действию, выраженному глаголом-сказуемым Perfect to have read to have been read
Perfect Continuous to have been reading ––

 


Функции инфинитива в предложении и способы его перевода

1. ПОДЛЕЖАЩЕЕ
То acquire knowledge is everybody’s duty.   To tell the truth, I don't like this film.   Приобретать знания – долг каждого.   По правде говоря, мне не нравится этот фильм.   а) Переводится инфинитивом в функции подлежащего; б) может быть вводным членом предложения: to tell the truth no правде говоря; to sum it up если подвести итог.
2. ДОПОЛНЕНИЕ

5. ОБСТОЯТЕЛЬСТВО:
1) цели    
I do sports to keep fit.     To know a foreign language well you have to work hard. Я занимаюсь спортом (за­чем?), чтобы быть в фор­ме. Для того чтобы знать иностранный язык хоро­шо, вы должны усердно работать.   а) При переводе вводятся союзы для того чтобы, чтобы; б) Переводится личной формой глагола с союзом что;
2) следствия
Now he is too tired to give us an account of his trip.     This method is not accurate enough to produce any definite results.     I was too busy to see any­one.

Инфинитивные обороты

 

В современном английском языке имеются три конструкции, или оборота, с инфинитивом:

1) объектный инфинитивный оборот (the Objective-with-the-Infinitive Construction);

2) субъектный инфинитивный оборот (the Subjective-with-the-Infinitive Construction);

3) инфинитив с предлогом for (the for-to-Infinitive Construction).

 

 

COMPLEX OBJECT

Объектный инфинитивный оборот

 

Конструкция «объектный (винительный) падеж с инфинитивом», или «объектный инфинитивный оборот», состоит из «вводящего» глагола, местоимения в объектном падеже или существительного в общем падеже и инфинитива. В предложении эта конструкция выполняет функцию сложного дополнения (Complex Object).

 

Do you expecthim to come? Ты полагаешь, что он придет?
I knowher to be a good student. Я знаю, что она хорошая студентка.

 

Этот оборот употребляется после глаголов, выражающих:

 

1) желание и намерение: to want, to wish, to desire, to intend, to mean;

2) умственное восприятие: to know, to think, to consider, to believe, to suppose, to expect, to imagine;

3) приказ, разрешение, просьбу: to order, to ask, to allow, to have, to make;

4) чувственное (физическое) восприятие: to see, to hear, to feel, to watch, to observe, to notice (после этих глаголов инфинитив употребляется без частицы to);

5) чувства и эмоции: to like, to love, to hate, to dislike.

 

На русский язык этот оборот переводится придаточным дополнительным предложением с союзами что, чтобы, как. Существительное или местоимение становится подлежащим, а инфинитив – сказуемым русского придаточного предложения. Следует обращать внимание, как на форму предшествующего глагола, так и на форму самого инфинитива. Indefinite Infinitive передается глаголом в настоящем (иногда в прошедшем) времени, Perfect Infinitive передается глаголом в прошедшем времени. После глаголов to expect, to hope чаще всего передается глаголом в будущем времени.
