你知道make和let的区别吗?

 大隆龙 2017-10-17


一、句式结构

make 和 let 都有“让;使”的意思,表达“让某人做某事”这个结构:make/let sb. do sth.,即加不带to的不定式(也就是动词原形)。但make sb. do sth. 的被动形式需要加tosb. be made to do sth.

例如:

The actor makes everyone laugh.

Everyone is made to laugh (by the actor).

let没有这种用法

二、内涵

Let sb. do sth.: to give someone permission to do something, or allow someone to do something.

涵义:允许某人做某事。意思是这件事是你想去做的。

make sb. do sth.: to oblige someone to do something; they have no choice and they have to do it.

涵义:责令/迫使某人做某事。意思是这件事你本来不想去做,但没办法不得不去做。

That is:

Someone lets you do something = You want to do it.

Someone makes you do something.= You don’t want to do it but you have no choice. You have to do it.

Examples:

My mother lets me have 90 minutes for watching TV.

我妈妈允许我看90分钟的电视。

My mother lets me play the computer games.

我妈妈允许我玩电脑游戏。

My mother lets me get up late on Saturday.

我妈妈允许我周六晚起床。(中国好妈妈~)

My boss makes me work at the weekend.

我的老板让我周末工作。

My boss makes me clean his office.

我的老板让我打扫他的办公室。

My boss makes me wait for him to finish work.

我的老板让我等他直到完成工作。(万恶的boss~)
