3.3. The Complex Object Объектный инфинитивный оборот ( сложное дополнение) состоит из

существительного (в общем падеже) или местоимения (в объектном падеже)

+ инфинитив.

На русский язык объектный инфинитивный оборот, как правило, переводится придаточным дополнительным предложением, подлежащим которого является дополнение, а сказуемым – инфинитив английского предложения.

We consider the results to be satisfactory.

Мы считаем, что результаты удовлетворительны

Сложное дополнение употребляется после глаголов, выражающих:

1. желание, просьбу, ожидание: to wish, to want, should (would) like и др.

I wish the matter to be settled today.	Я хочу, чтобы этот вопрос был разрешён сегодня.

При переводе инфинитивного оборота после этих глаголов можно: 1) сохранять порядок слов английского предложения; 2) переводить инфинитив существительным сразу после глагола или неопределённой формой глагола.
