<p class="ql-block"> 在英语中，当我们要表达“情不自禁/不由自主”想做什么事情时，需要用到一个固定搭配，这就是can't help/couldn't help doing或can't help but。下边我对这个固定搭配的用法予以详细讲解。</p> <p class="ql-block">1）Can't help/couldn't help+doing</p><p class="ql-block"> 意思是“情不自禁，不由自主地做…”。前者为一般现在时，后者为过去时。例如：</p><p class="ql-block">"When I see a cute puppy, I just can't help smiling."</p><p class="ql-block">（当我看到一只可爱的小狗时，我忍不住会笑。）</p><p class="ql-block">"The movie was so funny, I couldn't help laughing out loud."</p><p class="ql-block">（这部电影太搞笑了，我忍不住大笑起来。）</p> <p class="ql-block">2）Can't/couldn't help but+V</p><p class="ql-block"> 在这个句型中使用了连词but，意思仍然是“情不自禁，不由自主……”，但是后边要求跟动词原形，例如：</p><p class="ql-block">"Every time I smell freshly baked cookies, I can't help but feel a sudden craving for sweets."</p><p class="ql-block">（每次我闻到刚出炉的饼干的味道，我就忍不住突然想吃甜食。）</p><p class="ql-block">在这里，"can't help but" 表达了强烈的冲动和无法控制的欲望。 </p><p class="ql-block">"When I received the good news, I couldn't help but jump up and down with joy."</p><p class="ql-block">（当我收到好消息时，我忍不住高兴地跳了起来。）</p><p class="ql-block"> 句中的"couldn't help but"结构描述了说话者因为好消息而情绪高涨，无法抑制自己跳跃的行为。</p> <p class="ql-block">3）can't/couldn't help doing 与 can't/couldn't but do 在很多情况下表达的意思相近，可以互换。</p><p class="ql-block">"When he saw his favorite team win the championship, he couldn't help cheering loudly."</p><p class="ql-block">（当他看到他最喜欢的球队赢得冠军时，他忍不住大声欢呼。）</p><p class="ql-block"> 若用"couldn't but" 表达，可以是↓↓</p><p class="ql-block">"When he saw his favorite team win the championship, he couldn't but cheer loudly."</p><p class="ql-block">（当他看到他最喜欢的球队赢得冠军时，他不得不大声欢呼。）</p><p class="ql-block"> △需要注意的是"couldn't but" 在现代英语中不如 "couldn't help doing sth" 常用，且在某些语境下可能会显得正式或老派。</p><p class="ql-block"> 总的来说，这两个短语在表达“无法控制自己去做某事”的情感时非常相似，但 "couldn't help doing sth" 更为常见和通用。</p><p class="ql-block">注：图片来自网络（世界摄影大师风光摄影）</p><p class="ql-block">一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一</p><p class="ql-block"> 坚守正义，传播真知，感谢阅读</p><p class="ql-block"> 欢迎留言、关注、转发</p>
