3. You will not be able to drive afterwards. 术后不可以开车。

这句中to drive 是目的状语?

【答】不是。be able 和to drive,构成“合成谓语”。

be able to do sth. 要整体看作一个“谓语部分”,叫做“合成谓语”,be able 和to do,不要割裂分开。下面,我重点解说一下这个问题:

“be + 形容词 + do sth.”这种结构,可以分为多类型型。其中,有一种叫做“合成谓语”结构,这种结构总是表示“判断、趋向、能愿”等定义。你的句子就是这些。

1、“判断类”的形容词,如:sure, certain, likely等,之后接不定式。表示说话人(不是句子的主语)对句子主语做某事的可能性判断:肯定做某事,一定做某事,可能做某事等。这种句子最好不要细分,把“be + 形容词 + to do” 当作一个整体看待。比如:

This weekend is certain to be enjoyable. 这个周末肯定非常有意思。

She is sure to pass the examination. 她必然会通过考试。

His health is likely to get worse. 他的健康或许会恶化。

2、“趋向类”的形容词,如:ready, apt, anxious, eager, curious等,之后接不定式。表示主语有做某事的倾向,或迫切做某事等定义。比如:

The potatoes are ready to be dug up. 快要收成土豆了。

He is apt to get excited over trifles. 他容易为小事而激动。

These little children are eager to learn how to play the piano. 这类孩子子急于学弹钢琴。

3、“能愿类”的形容词,如:able, unable, willing, unwilling等,表示主语能否、愿否做某事。比如:

I am not really willing to spend an evening there. 我其实不愿在那儿消磨一夜晚。

Are you able to sit through the play? 你能耐着性子看完戏吗?

这种结构,形容词与不定式构成“合成谓语”,不要拆开细分。
