The director demanded the flexible approach some engineers refused to adopt be put into practice at once.
The director demanded the flexible approach be put into practice at once
为什么用“be put”呢?为什么用be?
The director demanded (that) the flexible approach be put into practice at once
句子表示命令,be 动词是固定用法。
举个类似句子:
It is important that money be set aside for rainy days.
为什么should可以省略呢?什么情况可以省略?
追答demand 的句型是: demand that somebody should do something.
凡是表示“要求,建议”一类意思的词,都是这个句型,should 可以写,也可以省。考试时,为了考验学生,常常省略掉。这些词包括:demand, request, order, ask, require, suggest, advise, 等等。
