could是情态动词,后面的动词必须跟原形,所以并列的but后面也必须跟动词原形;
have + n (+ to do),和上面一样,并列的前后要一致,所以but后面必须也是动词不定式
but做介词(except的用法也基本相同),有时后接带to的动词不定式,有时后接不带to的动词不定式。
当句子中有do时,but后面跟的动词不定式通常不用to,其基本结构是:
do nothing (anything) but……;have……to do but。否则,不定式符号to不能省略。如:
The enemy could do nothing but surrender.
敌人毫无办法,只得投降。
There is nothing left to him but to hit back.
他只能回击,别无他法。
试比较:There is nothing left for him to do but hit back.
答案:A
We have no choice but to resort to arbitration.
我们另无选择,只能诉仲裁。
We have no choice but to turn back.
没办法, 我们只有回去。
They have no choice but to lie down and sleep .
