“have…to do with”是英语中表示“关联、联系”的核心短语,核心含义是“与…有关;和…有联系”。它通过调整中间的修饰词(如something/nothing/much等),可以精准表达“关联程度”的差异。
“have…to do with”本质上是“与…有(某种)关系”,其中“…”的部分用来描述“关系的性质/程度”。
该短语的关键是中间的限定词,常见搭配有以下几类:
have something to do with:与…有关(泛泛的“有关系”)
例:The accident has something to do with bad weather.(这起事故和恶劣天气有关。)
have much/a lot to do with:与…有很大关系(强调“关联度高”)
例:Her happiness has a lot to do with her supportive family.(她的幸福和支持她的家人有很大关系。)
have nothing to do with:与…完全无关(最常用的否定表达)
例:I swear I have nothing to do with the missing money.(我发誓我和丢失的钱毫无关系。)
have little to do with:与…几乎无关(语气比nothing弱,表“关联极小”)
例:His decision has little to do with logic—it’s all emotion.(他的决定几乎和逻辑无关——全是情绪使然。)
疑问句中常用anything代替something,表达“是否有关”:
Does this project have anything to do with your previous work?(这个项目和你之前的工作有关吗?)
I wonder if the delay has anything to do with the traffic jam.(我想知道延误是否和堵车有关。)
后面接名词、代词或从句(从句需用what/that等引导):
例:The problem has to do with what we learned last week.(这个问题和我们上周学的内容有关。)
主语通常是“事物/事件”,但也可指人(强调“某人与某事有关联”):
例:He has a lot to do with organizing the party.(他和组织派对有很大关系。)
