关于动词带双宾语 || 这几个动词"indicate, describe, share, explain"不能带双宾语 || ChatPGT帮你学英语也频繁犯错 请注意鉴别

bca

大家知道，当我们想表达，“请告诉我什么什么”，“请给我什么什么”， 要用上动词，give，tell, 它们可以带双宾语。也就是 V+N+N.

但是，indicate, describe, share, explain, 虽然在中文的翻译下，这些都能表达上面类似的意思。而且，在不正规的英语口语里，不少人确实用上了"indicate, describe, share, explain"带双宾语的结构。英语学员需要注意，这其实是不规范的英语。
Tell me the story. 【正确用法】
Share (indicate, describe, explain) me the story. 【错误用法】

这里，需要特别说明，ChatPGT，在解释英语的用法的时候，也可能频繁犯错，可能是受到了大数据库，很多人不规范英语的影响。请看我这个对话。

Have I made a mistake when I used the word "indicate"? In this context: Please indicate (me) (the funny associations between the meanings).

ChatGPT
Yes, "indicate" is not typically used in this context. A more appropriate verb to use would be "tell" or "explain." For example, "Please tell me the funny associations between the meanings" or "Please explain the funny associations between the meanings."

The word "indicate" is typically used to mean to point out, suggest, or show something, often using gestures or signals. For example, "He indicated that he wanted me to follow him" or "The arrow on the map indicates the direction of the river."

In other words, "indicate" is not within the pattern of [VNN], instead, it should be [VN], or, [V that].

ChatGPT
Yes, that's correct. The verb "indicate" is typically used with a direct object, and so it is often used in the pattern [V + N], such as "She indicated the location of the meeting" or "He indicated his preference for Italian food."

In other cases, "indicate" can be used with the pattern [V + that], such as "The results indicate that there is a correlation between the two variables."

However, "indicate" is not typically used in the pattern [V + N + N], as in "Please indicate me the funny associations between the meanings." Instead, it would be more appropriate to use a verb such as "tell" or "explain" in this context.

donzh.com
No. I think, according to the dictionary, the word "explain" is not typically used in the pattern [V + N + N], either.

ChatGPT
You are correct that the verb "explain" is also not typically used in the pattern [V + N + N]. Instead, a more appropriate verb to use in this pattern would be "tell," "describe," "give," or "share," such as "Please tell me the funny associations between the meanings," "Please describe the funny associations between the meanings," "Please give me the funny associations between the meanings," or "Please share the funny associations between the meanings."

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.

donzh.com
Unfortunately, the word "share" does not follow the pattern [V+N+N], either.

ChatGPT
You are correct that the verb "share" is not typically used in the pattern [V + N + N]. Instead, a more appropriate verb to use in this pattern would be "tell," "describe," "give," or "explain," such as "Please tell me the funny associations between the meanings," "Please describe the funny associations between the meanings," "Please give me the funny associations between the meanings," or "Please explain the funny associations between the meanings."

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
