宾语补足语(Object Complement)
在SVOdCo句型中,谓语动词虽然有宾语,但句子意义仍不完整,需要在宾语之后增加一个成分以补足其意义,这种成分叫做宾语补足语。宾语补足语说明宾语所表示的人或物的属类、性质、状态等,宾语和补语在这种结构中实际上是一种主谓关系。
1 名词(Nouns)
They consider him an embarrassment.
Can you recommend me a good novel?

注意:
1.SVOdCo句型中的宾语如果是不定式短语、动词ing形式或从句,就必须用先行词it表示,将真正的宾语置于补语之后。例如:
--He felt it his duty to mention the fact to Mr. Otis.
--I don’t think it wise our climbing the mountain without a guide.
--He soon made it clear why he had asked for a conference.
--I took it for granted that you would stay us.
2.有的宾语补足语前可加to be,也可用as引入,句子的含义基本不变。例如:
--She declared the election illegal.
--She declared the election to be illegal.
--She declared the election as illegal.
--They elected him the first president of the association.
--They elected him to be the first president of the association.
--They elected him as the first president of the association.

appoint, believe, call, catch, choose, consider, declare, elect, fancy, feel, find, hear, imagine, judge, keep, know, leave, make, name, need, nominate, prefer, prove, see, select, suppose, think, vote等。
