②She lied to us about her job. 她就她的工作对我们撒了谎。

【注意】表示这一意思时,lie可用作名词。我们一般说tell a lie或tell lies,而不说say/talk/speak a lie(或lies)。再如:Lies cannot cover up facts.(谎言掩盖不了事实。)如要说“我痛恨说谎话”,可以说I hate lying或I
hate telling lies,一般不说I hate lie或I hate to lie。hate to lie尽管句法正确,但似乎含有“虽然不愿,但仍不得不说谎”之意。
2)lie用作不规则动词(lie,lay,lain)时,表示“躺”,“(东西)平放”,“位于”等意。如:
①He's still lying in bed. 他还躺在床上。

别把玻璃杯放在台角上。
③Mother laid the baby gently on the bed.

姿态,可代替其它几个动词。place是比较正式的用语,指有意识地把某物放在较为确定的位置上或安排某物的顺序,有时含有较庄重的语气。set特指把某物垂直着放。
▲不要混淆lie,lie,lay这三个动词。lie----lied----lied----lying说谎;lie----lay----lain----lying躺;lay----laid----laid----laying放置
10.suggest一词的用法

(1)suggest后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语。如:

注:suggest后不能接不定式,也不能接带不定式的复合结构,即

我建议你假期不要邀他回家去。
2)suggest可表示“暗示”,“表明”,“使想到”的意思,其主语往往代表事物,而不是人。这时,suggest后的宾语从句中,不用虚拟语气。如:

②Her expression suggested that she was angry.
从她的表情可以看出她生气了。
③An idea suddenly suggested itself to me. 我心中突然浮现一个念头。

注:在answer the door/the doorbell/the telephone中,不能用reply.
2)当他们后跟宾语从句或直接引语时,两词都是及物动词,没什么区别。如:
①He answered/replied that he knew nothing about it.
他回答说他对此事一无所知。 ②She replied/answered that she had never seen the man before.
她回答说以前从未见过这个人。
注:如果answer和reply后加上间接宾语sb.,reply后须加to,answer后不加to。如:
①John answered me/replied to me that he would not come.
约翰回答说他不愿意来。
3)当answer和reply作名词时,后接回答的内容时,都要加to。如:
