主语(通常是人) + hate to + 动词原形 + 其他成分。
例:
I hate to disturb you, but can I ask a quick question?(我不愿打扰你,但能问个小问题吗?)
She hates to miss her favorite TV show tonight.(她今晚不愿错过她最爱的电视节目。)
强调“具体场景/未来动作”:不同于 "hate doing sth."(强调“习惯性、长期的讨厌”),"hate to do" 聚焦某一次具体的、即将发生的行为。
对比:
I hate doing housework.(我讨厌做家务。→ 长期习惯)
I hate to do the dishes right now—I'm too tired.(我现在不愿洗碗→ 这次具体的情况)
委婉表达“拒绝/无奈”:常与 "but" 连用,用于礼貌地说明“虽不愿但不得不做”,或“不愿但必须告知坏消息”。
例:
I hate to say this, but your essay needs more work.(我不愿这么说,但你的论文还需要修改。)
We hate to cancel the party, but the weather is terrible.(我们不愿取消派对,但天气太差了。)
常见固定搭配:用于表达“不愿麻烦/打扰他人”的礼貌场景。
hate to be a bother/nuisance(不愿成为麻烦)
例:I hate to be a bother, but could you pass me the salt?(我不愿麻烦你,但能递一下盐吗?)
hate to interrupt(不愿打断)
例:Sorry, I hate to interrupt, but we need to leave now.(抱歉,我不愿打断,但我们得走了。)
否定:don't/doesn't hate to do sth.(不讨厌/愿意做某事)
例:He doesn't hate to help others—he's very kind.(他不讨厌帮助别人→ 他很乐意帮忙。)
疑问:Do/Does + 主语 + hate to do sth.?
例:Do you hate to wake up early on weekends?(你周末不愿早起吗?)
"hate to do sth." 是针对具体、未来动作的“不愿/不想”,侧重当下或即将发生的场景,常带委婉或无奈的语气;而 "hate doing sth." 是长期、习惯性的“讨厌”。掌握两者的区别,能更精准地表达情绪~
小测试:请判断句子中用 "hate to do" 还是 "hate doing"?I ______ (hate to/hate doing) get up at 6 a.m. every day.(答案:hate doing,长期习惯)
She ______ (hate to/hate doing) tell you that your flight is delayed.(答案:hate to,具体的无奈告知)
