v объяснять: to explain smth to smb — объяснять что-либо кому-либо; to explain (to smb) that/why/how… — объяснить (кому-либо), что/почему/как …. (1). Глагол to explain может иметь два дополнения — прямое и предложное косвенное: explain smth to smb, но подлежащим пассивной конструкции может быть только прямое дополнение:The rule was explained to me — Мне объяснили это правило.
Эта же особенность пассивных форм относится к ряду других глаголов, у которых могут быть два дополнения. К таким глаголам относятся глаголы to describe, to dictate, to declare, to deliver, to mention, to prove, to present, to point out, to repeat, to recommend. (2). Косвенное дополнение при глаголе to explain, независимо от того, стоит ли оно перед или после прямого дополнения, всегда употребляется с предлогом to:Can you explain this rule to me — Вы можете мне объяснить это правило?
Ср. Explain to me how to get there — Объясните мне, как туда добраться.
(3). See describe, v (1).
