EN: Reported speech with a 'that' clause (with 'that' omitted). When reporting what someone said, we often use a reporting verb like 'tell' followed by an indirect object (Martínez) and a noun clause acting as the direct object. In this sentence, 'told Martínez [that] his broken finger needed an operation' has the conjunction 'that' omitted, which is very common in informal and spoken English.
中文: 间接引语与省略 'that' 的名词从句。当转述他人说过的话时,我们常用像 'tell' 这样的说法动词,后接间接宾语(马丁内斯)与一个作为直接宾语的名词从句。在本句中,'told Martínez [that] his broken finger needed an operation' 省略了连接词 'that',这在口语和非正式英语中非常常见。

她到达办公室后,才意识到自己弄丢了钥匙。
EN: The verb 'choose' is followed by an infinitive ('to' + base verb) to express a decision. In contrast, the verb 'mean' (when signifying 'result in' or 'involve') is followed by a gerund (verb-ing) to show the consequence of an action.
