Lindsay McMahon: 我认为“I don't want you doing X”是一种表达不希望某人做某事,但语气带有责任感的实用表达方式。它在日常口语中很常见,但教科书中很少提及,体现了英语表达的细微差别和灵活运用。这种表达方式不仅可以用于表达对某人的关心和责任,也可以用于警告或训斥,例如父母对孩子的告诫。在与朋友相处时,它可以表达对朋友的关心和帮助,例如主动提出送朋友回家。总而言之,这种表达方式很微妙,可以根据语境表达不同的含义。 Michelle Kaplan: 我同意Lindsay的观点。“I don't want you doing X”可以是出于帮助他人,而不是控制的目的。它表达了说话者对对方的关心和责任感,尤其体现在长辈对晚辈的关照中。在照顾宠物或孩子的过程中,它也表达了责任感和对宠物或孩子的保护。除了“I don't want you doing X”,还有其他表达方式,语气可能略有不同,例如“Please don't...”, "I don't think you should...", "Make sure you don't..."。但“I don't want you doing X”更能体现说话者细微的情感,更能表达责任感、安慰或警告。总而言之,它是一种重要的连接技巧,关键在于表达说话者对对方的情感投入。
