课题详解：那么，请先跟我来熟悉一个重要的动词的意思和用法。这个动词是deceive。它的意思是make sb believe something that is not true (so as to make him do something)。是指“欺骗某人（去做某事）”“使自己信以为真（去做某事）”。作为这个意思，用deceive这个动词来来表示的话，在语法上的搭配模式是“deceive somebody into doing something”，或者是“deceive oneself into doing something”。我们来看2个专业例句：

You can't pass exams without working, so don't deceive yourself into thinking you can.（不努力是考不及格的, 因此不要欺骗自己以为可以及格。）

We were deceived into believing that he could help us. （我们受骗了, 还以为他能帮助我们。）

我们现在回过头来看那位同学的说法是：He deceived a person to do a thing. 这里用到的是deceive somebody to do something这个带有动词不定式的结构，这个是错误的。表达“欺骗某人做某事”这个意思，不能用动词不定式来说，而要用介词into 名词或名词性短语来说。因此，这位同学应该这样说：：He deceived a person into doing a thing.

今日习题：请将下面的中文翻译为英文。

1. 他那热情的样子并没把我们欺骗多久。

2. 别自欺欺人以为那个糟糕的计划还蛮好呢。

答案将会在下期的学习中告诉您。我们 今天的学习就到此结束了。
