One good turn deserves another

I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'

善有善报

我正在一家餐馆吃饭,这时托尼·斯蒂尔走了进来。托尼多年前在一家律师事务所工作,但现在他在一家银行上班。他薪水不错,但他总是向朋友借钱,而且从不归还。托尼看到了我,过来在同一张桌旁坐下。他从未向我借过钱。他正在吃饭时,我请他借给我二十英镑。令我吃惊的是,他立刻把钱给了我。"我从未向你借过钱,"托尼说,"所以现在你可以付我的晚餐钱!"

🔑 关键句型:间接宾语 (Indirect Object) 结构

什么是双宾语结构?

有些动词(如 give, lend, pay, borrow, buy, tell)可以跟两个宾语

句型 A:动词 + IO + DO
He gave me the money.
IO(人)在前,DO(物)在后
课文中:
He gave me the money immediately.
I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.
句型 B:动词 + DO + to/for + IO
He gave the money to me.
DO(物)在前,to/for + 人 在后
改写:
He gave the money to me.
Please lend twenty pounds to me.

什么时候用 to?什么时候用 for?

介词含义常见动词例子
to "给" → 方向性 give, lend, pay, send, tell, show, offer I gave the book to him.
for "为" → 目的性 buy, make, cook, get, find, choose I bought a gift for you.

课文中 to 的用法的实际例子:

borrow vs lend — 借入 vs 借出

borrow(借入)lend(借出)
方向 ← 从别人那里借进来 → 把自己的借给别人
结构 borrow + 物 + from + 人 lend + 人 + 物 / lend + 物 + to + 人
例子 I borrowed £20 from him. He lent me £20.
💡 记忆法:
borrow = bring + → "带进来" → 借入
lend = leave + → "拿出去" → 借出
或者想中文:borrow = 借,lend = 贷

pay back vs pay for

短语含义例子
pay back还(钱)He never pays it back.(他从不还钱)
pay for为……付账You can pay for my dinner.(你可以付我的晚餐)
pay + 人 + 钱付给某人多少钱I paid him £10.

ask sb to do sth

课文中:I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.

结构:ask + 人 + to + 动词原形
