不能。请看下面这道题：
Do your parents agree to your doing that? Yes, of course. In fact, they always _________ me to try something new.
A. hope B. suggest C. support D. encourage
【分析】此题的正解答案是D。因为在以上四个选项中，只有encourage 可后接不定式的复合结构作宾语，即可用于 encourage sb to do sth，而其余三者均不可后接不定式的复合结构作宾语，即英语中习惯上不说 hope sb to do sth, suggest sb to do sth, support sb to do sth。
