He planned for his son to go to college.
for his son to go to college是不定式的复合结构,在这里看成是宾语。
但能否这么分析呢。planned for整体看成是谓语,his son是宾语,后面的不定式是宾补呢。
He planned for his son to go to college.
plan 可以用作不及物动词。比如:
Moderate Republicans gathered together to plan for the future.
温和的共和党人集会谋划将来(为将来谋划)。
《柯林斯词典》
网友的句子便是。既然 plan 不及物,就不可以接宾语。应考虑另外的剖析渠道:把 for his son to go to college 视为“动词不定式复合结构”,作不及物动词 planned 的“目的状语”。
英语这种结构常见存在,比如:
wish for sb. to do sth.
intend for sb. to do sth.
wait for sb. to do sth.
mean for sb. to do sth.
arrange for sb. to do sth.
