1) This is the first time I have been to London.
能否将时态改为:This is the first time I go to London.
2)This is the first time for me to to to London.
这个说法是不对的,1)句中的从句形式是对的,而1)句的不定式表达是不对的,这里从句和不定式一个对一个错的底层逻辑是什么?
英语中有不少惯用状况,即大伙习惯这么说。学英语则应该遵循这类习惯。在以下句式中,习惯的表达方法为:
1)He is the firstman that has walked on the moon.
序数词修饰的名词后接that从句,从句习惯用完成体。本句可以把定语从句改为不定式作定语:
He is the first man to walk on the moon. (to walk 为to havewalked的简略)。
即只有不定式与序数词修饰的名词为逻辑主谓关系时,才能改为不定式作定语。
2)This is thefirst time that I have visited London.
This is the first time for me to visit London. (错误)(参读《英语语法指南》)这个句式中不定式与名词不是逻辑主谓关系为错误。
This is my first time visiting London. (正确)(依据WR网站老外的看法)
