兼语句(让)

HSK 2Lesson 8
Pivotal Sentences with "让"
结构Pattern
A让 / 不让B动词短语 Verb phrase
妈妈让我早一点儿回家
医生让他多休息
爸爸不让我看电视
解释Explanation

“A+让+B+动词短语”表示A要求B做一件事情,或者A允许B做一件事情。B是“让”的宾语,也是后面动词的主语,所以叫“兼语”。否定形式是“A不让B……”,表示不允许。

"A + 让 + B + verb phrase" means A asks / tells B to do something, or A lets B do it. B plays two roles at once: it is the object of 让 and the subject of the next verb. That is why it is called a "pivotal" sentence: B is the pivot. 妈妈让我看书: Mom tells me (me) to read. The negative 不让 means "not allow": 爸爸不让我看电视 "Dad doesn't let me watch TV".
