ABSTRACT

It should be noted that a verb plus the complement of result frequently forms only one word in English. Such a combination should not be mistaken for one verb.

English: I must break Xiao Wang’s record today. Chinese: 我今天一定要把小王的记录打破。 (打 is the verb; 破 is the complement of result.) WN jCntiAn yídìng yào bK XiKo Wáng de jìlù dK pò.
