“Push sb to do” 与 “Into doing” 用法详解

引言

在英语学习中，动词后接不定式（to do）还是动名词（doing）常常让人困惑。 今天我们将聚焦两个高频表达：“push someone to do something” 和 “be/get into doing something”， 它们结构不同、含义迥异，但都涉及“促使”或“参与”的概念。

1. “Push someone to do something”

表示“迫使/敦促某人做某事”，强调外部压力或激励导致某人采取行动。 这里的 to 是不定式符号，后面接动词原形。

例句：

  • Her parents pushed her to study medicine.
  • The coach pushed the team to train harder.
  • Deadlines often push people to work faster.

2. “Be/Get into doing something”

表示“对做某事产生兴趣”或“开始热衷于某事”，常用于口语。 这里的 into 是介词，后面必须接动名词（doing）。

例句：

  • He’s really into playing guitar lately.
  • She got into cooking during the pandemic.
  • Are you into watching documentaries?
