kiss someone good night

Question

The children kissed their parents good night.

這是五大基本句型中的: 「S+V+IO+DO」嗎?

(So we can say "The children kissed good night to their parents" ?)

請指點迷津，感謝。

我認為應該是不行的

因為kiss是及物動詞，後面要直接接受詞

而這句的受詞應該是their parents

所以只能用The children kissed their parents good night.

或The children gave their parents goodnight kisses.

至於上面咪咪將提出的

S+ V+ IO + DO = S + V + DO+ to + IO

適用於很多動詞沒錯

但那是因為他們既可當及物也可當不及物動詞

而我也從來沒看過kiss to somebody/someone這種用法

所以想出這樣的解釋

如果有誤，歡迎大家指教～^w^

Answer 3

所謂DO（直接受詞），通常指物品或一句話。

good night在此並非物品，也非＂一句話＂。

依據牛津字典，

kiss做動詞時的用法有：

1.S+不及物kiss+修飾成分--表示時間、方式等的副詞：

ex. They kissed passionately when she arrived.

2.S+及物kiss+直接受詞：

She kissed him.

3.S+及物kiss+直接受詞+修飾成分--介詞短語。

-----------------------------

The children kissed their parents good night.

個人傾向於分析它是省略句，原句是：

The children kissed their parents (to wish them a) good night.

也就是說，(to wish them a) good night僅為修飾成分。

Answer 4

S+ V+ IO + DO = S + V + DO+ to + IO

I read a story to my students. = I read my students a story.

I brought my friend a sandwich. = I brought a sandwich to my friend.

I gave the monkey a banana. = I gave a banana to the monkey.

I wrote you a letter. = I wrote a letter to you.

I bought you a present. = I bought a present for you.

這種閒接/直接受詞 兩者之間的位置可以互換

I say goodbye to you. = I say you goodbye.

似乎有聽過 但大家可能不常這麼說

同理 kiss me goodnight

可以換成 kiss goodnight to me

You can kiss me goodnight now. (好像皇太后說你可以跪安了^^")

說成 You can kiss goodnight now. (to me 不見的要說)

give me a goodnight kiss / give me a kiss goodnight 也常聽到的
