汉语可说要求某人做某事,但英语习惯上不能说 demand sb to do sth, 遇此情况,可在 sb 前加介词 of,也可改为 that 从句(注意用 虚拟语气)。如:
■他要求我把一切都告诉他。
误:He demanded me to tell him everything.
正:He demanded of us to tell him everything.
正:He demanded that I should tell him everything.
■他们要求每个成年人都应有选举权。
误:They demanded the right to vote to be given to every adult man.
正:They demanded for the right to vote to be given to every adult man.
正:They demanded that the right to vote be given to every adult man.
