作为动词它是及物动词,要直接宾语。韦氏词典解释如下:
transitive verb
1 : to make a pledge of; especially : pawn
2 : to drink to the health of
3 : to bind by a pledge
4 : to promise the performance of by a pledge
用法举例,例句:
1,Her family pledged $100,000 toward the construction of a new school.
2,He called to pledge money to the charity.
3,Every morning, we pledge allegiance to the flag.
4,teenagers who have pledged not to start smoking
5,During his campaign, he pledged that he would not raise taxes.
6,The chefs are pledged to keep the restaurant's special recipe a secret.
7,He pledged his paintings as collateral for a loan.
仔细观察我们发现,pledge 之后要接 “ (担保的/发誓的)内容”。
你的例句属意思“3”,的用法,并用被动,表“(均被)处于誓言绑定状态,(对保密这事)”。
例句6,
“The chefs are pledged to keep the restaurant's special recipe a secret.”
可助你理解。
