(单词翻译:单击)

某些特定的不定式短语既可位于句首,有时也可位于句末。不定式的这种作用与修饰全句的状语相似(参见第40节):

To be perfectly1 frank,you’re a bad driver.

非常坦率地说,你车开得不好。

To be honest, I just don’t like him.

说老实话,我就是不喜欢他。

To be fair(to him), he wasn’t entirely2 to blame.

说句公平话,这事不能都怪他一个人。

To cut a long story short, we said,‘No!’

长话短说吧,我们没有同意。

To tell you the truth,I’ve never met him./I’ve never met him, to tell

you the truth.

给你说真的,我从没见过他。
