keep doing sth./ keep sb. doing sth.
在这两个结构中,keep后有无sb. 意义是不相同的。
(1) keep doing sth. 意为不断/反复/坚持做某事,动作是主语本身发出来的。如:
He kept asking us to remember teamwork.他不断地叫我们记住合作。
Keep doing sth. = keep on doing sth.
(2) keep sb. doing sth. 意为让某人做某事,keep在这里有
使...处于某状态之意,doing的动作不是主语来完成,而是由宾语sb.来完成的.例如:
I keep them waiting at the gate.我让他们在大门口等候。
