强调主动做出承诺并投入行动,带有“将自己绑定到某件事上”的坚定感。
该短语的关键结构是:
⚠️ 注意:这里的 to 是介词,后接名词、代词或动名词,不能接动词原形!
通过不同语境的例句,更直观理解用法:
She committed herself to finishing the project by the end of the month.
(她承诺月底前完成这个项目。)
I won’t commit myself to attending the party until I check my schedule.
(在确认日程前,我不会承诺参加派对。)
He committed himself to the cause of animal rights.
(他投身于动物权利事业。)
We need to commit ourselves to sustainable development.
(我们需要致力于可持续发展。)
The manager committed himself to improving employee welfare.
(经理承诺改善员工福利。)
Don’t commit yourself to something you can’t keep.
(别承诺你做不到的事。)
❌ 错误:I commit myself to work harder.
✅ 正确:I commit myself to working harder.
(因为 to 是介词,后接动名词!)
如果强调“被要求/自身处于承诺的状态”,常用被动结构 be committed to(意为“致力于;忠诚于”),用法一致(后接名词/动名词):
The company is committed to reducing carbon emissions.
(这家公司致力于减少碳排放。)
She is committed to her family.
(她对家庭很尽责。)
总结:"commit oneself to" 是主动承诺并投入的表达,核心是“绑定自己到某件事”,记住介词 to 后接名词或动名词即可灵活使用~
