薄冰老师曾经就解答过类似问题,你可以看看,在“薄冰英语常见共性问题解答”一书第199页。我只引用一部分:“spend作为及物动词时,后须接宾语(多指时间或金钱)如 “介 词 on+ 宾语 ”或加“(介 词 in)+动 名 词 +宾 语 ”。如 :I spent a lot of money on books.I spent a lot of money (in)buying books.介 词 in 可省去...

刘老师不知道去哪了,我也很久没见他回帖。有点时间就说说我的看法。自然形成的东西,没有施动者或者说不清楚施动者,确实有主动和被动两种用法,它们似乎并无区别。但是你说的这个改错题不是这么回事。They will be formed over thousands or even millions of years.这句话的意思是煤,油和天然气形成的过程经历了thousan...

看你的问题没人回复。我就说一下。这里面有个搭配的问题。The old man looked happy with laughter.这一句用laughter确实是合适的,laughter是不可数名词。而laugh是可数名词,with a laugh这个搭配是没问题的,只是如果用with a laugh替换with laughter,语法上没毛病,但是句意就挺奇怪。with laughing一般用在die with l...

类似问题很早前就讨论过了。既然再度提出来我也说说。Quirk所说(1260页)确实不妥,同一本书在第367页:She's not the brilliant dancer ( that) she used to be.这就自相矛盾。在随后出版的“A Students Grammar of the English Language”一书中是这么说的:“When the verb in the relative clause is be, the complement...

Rose is taller than I.针对I来提问就是:a. Who is Rose taller than?Rose is taller than me. 针对me来提问就是:b. Than whom is Rose taller than?说白了就是把than理解成连词和介词后造成的问题。从使用频率看Who is Rose taller than?尽管也很少见,但是要占绝对优势,没找到Than whom is Rose taller than?这样的例...

have作为“吃”这个意义,属于第三类动词accomplishments,即Quirk说的“终结可持续动词”,而作为“拥有”的意义时,则是属于第一类动词states,即状态动词。终结可持续动词有开始和结束,可以用进行时态,着重过程而隐没了终点。然而,终结可持续动词的过去时通常呈现“完成貌”,即只剩下终点(I had breakfast.吃过早餐了)。除...

想了想,可能另一种理解靠谱一点。实质上是问your first taste of late nights (删除地点状语结构in the dorm or in the Junior Common Room便于分析)discussing the meaning of life是个什么结构 ?我觉得这个结构类似于your first time driving a car。即动名词复合结构your discussing the meaning of life中插入了fir...

这是Garner's Modern English Usage一书中的一句。原句是:My thought was that assigning these rankings to various usages is much more helpful than what one finds in existing usage guides.这里用what是正常的。但是有例外(句7):1. It is a far more spacious and genteel environment than one finds on a comm...

This result is better than ___ would probably be achieved by a vaccination policy.这一句的主语省略了,本不该省略。只能说这样的例子很特别,也很少见。一般大家都能看出省略了the result,但是正如王老师所说,你要把它补上去是不合适的,因为重复是很忌讳的,除非不得已。所以可以写成:This result is better than...
