“be opposed to”是英语中常用的固定短语,核心含义是“反对;不赞成;持相反意见”,强调主语对某事物的反对态度或立场。
表示“对某事物(或行为)持反对意见”,可理解为“不支持、不同意”,是一种状态性表达(区别于瞬间动作的“oppose”动词)。
短语中的“to”是介词(非不定式符号),因此后面必须接名词、代词或动名词(v.-ing),不能接动词原形!
Most parents are opposed to violence in movies.(大多数父母反对电影中的暴力内容。)
The committee is opposed to the new policy.(委员会反对这项新政策。)
A: Shall we raise the price?(我们涨价吗?)
B: I’m opposed to it.(我反对。)
She is opposed to working overtime on weekends.(她反对周末加班。)
They are opposed to changing the plan at the last minute.(他们反对在最后一刻改变计划。)
常见副词:strongly(强烈地)、firmly(坚决地)、totally(完全地)、deeply(深切地)等。
We are strongly opposed to any form of racial discrimination.(我们坚决反对任何形式的种族歧视。)
He is firmly opposed to cutting funding for education.(他坚决反对削减教育经费。)
在“be”动词后加“not”,表示“不反对”:
I’m not opposed to your going to the party.(我不反对你去参加派对。)
They are not opposed to trying a new method.(他们不反对尝试新方法。)
oppose是及物动词(瞬间动作),直接接宾语:He opposed the proposal.(他反对这个提议。)
be opposed to是系表结构(状态),强调“处于反对的状态”:He is opposed to the proposal.(他反对这个提议。)
object to(较正式,强调“提出反对意见”)
disagree with(侧重“意见不一致”,后可接人或观点)
be against(口语化,后接n./pron./doing)
总结:“be opposed to”的核心是“反对”,关键要记住to是介词,后面接名词、代词或动名词,常与副词搭配加强语气。
