該說insist doing還是insist to do?
請(qǐng)看下面一道題：They insisted _________ a car over to fetch us.
A. to send????????????????? B. sending?????????????????? C. on sending???????????? D. in sending
很多同學(xué)想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為 insist 后接動(dòng)詞時(shí)要用動(dòng)名詞，從而誤選B。其實(shí)動(dòng)詞 insist 后既不能接不定式也不能接動(dòng)名詞，因?yàn)閕nsist 通常用作不及物動(dòng)詞；若語義上需接賓語，要借助介詞 on或upon，即用于 insist on [upon] (doing) sth；有時(shí)它也用作及物動(dòng)詞，但其賓語通常只能是有時(shí)它也用作及物動(dòng)詞，但其賓語通常只能是 insist on doing sth 這一結(jié)構(gòu)，想當(dāng)然的認(rèn)為 insist 后要接動(dòng)名詞，忽略了其間的介詞 on。正確答案應(yīng)選C。又如：I insisted on buying a quality ear. 我堅(jiān)持買一輛高質(zhì)量的車。

He insisted on the observance of training roles. 他堅(jiān)持遵守訓(xùn)練規(guī)則。They insisted on being treated as equals. 他們堅(jiān)持對(duì)他們要平等相待。
He went to the meeting and, what was worse, insisted on speaking. 他去參加了會(huì)議。更糟糕的是，還堅(jiān)持要發(fā)言。
