see作“看见”解时,不能接 that从句作宾语吗?

see 的含义是“看见”时不可用that从句作宾语,含义是“觉得(=feel )”“发现(=find )”或“确信(=make sure)”时则可。如:

a. I saw that he left the room. × 

b. I saw him leave the room. (我看见他离开房间的。)

实际上,这种说法是错误的,是不符合当前英语实际的。see作“看见(=perceive with the eyes)”解,后接that从句的正确性早已被以英语为母语的人士所证实(当然也被以英语为非母语的人士逐渐接受),请看例证:

1. A Dictionary of Contemporay American Usage by BERGEN EVANS and COR.NELIA EVANS( RANDOM HOUSE NEW YORK)p436When used in an active form, see may be followed by an object and the simple form of a verb, as in Z saw him leave, or by an object and the ing form of a verb, as in Z saw him leaving. When followed by an object and a to-infinitive, the word means “infer” and not “perceive with the eyes,” as in Z saw it to be impossible. In either sense, it may be followed by a clause, as in Z saw he was leaving and Z saw it was impossible.(笔者注:很显然在Z saw he was leavingsee的意思是perceive with the eyes,即“看见”。)

2. A GRAMMAR OF LATE MODERN ENGLISH (BY H. POUTSMA) CHAPTER XVIII, 28-30: I saw the stone fall into the water= I saw that the stone fell into the water.

3. 徐士珍编著《英语句型转换1000例》(修订本)(河南人民出版社197911月第1版)p214

I saw him going home.(Quirk) = I saw that he was going home.

4. Lingoes (http://www.lingoes.cn) 《剑桥高级学习词典》:

6. Lingoes(http://www.lingoes.cn) 《柯林斯高阶英语词典》:
