在英语里有go(come,try)and +动词原形或go(come,try)to+动词原形这两种结构。但是,在美国英语里,人们常常省略and或to,因此就出现了go(come,try) 与另一个动词原形直接搭配使用的现象,表示去做某事,这种情况下,可以两个动词连用。请看:
go see a doctor去看医生,
go take a shower去洗个澡,
go see a movie,去看电影,
go get some rest去休息一下,
go read a book去读下书,
go grab a bite 随便吃点,
go tell her去告诉她,等等。
You can go see him and have a good old moan.
你可以去看看他,好好地诉诉苦。
I’ll go fetch a hammer.我去拿一把锤子。
Go fetch some water.去拿点水来。
Go jump in the river.跳到河里去。
Get it out of hock or go buy a new one.
要么把它赎回来,要么去买个新的。
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a voice like thunder. “None of your excuses ! Go start work at once!”
come和try也有这种用法。
