有的词典将painful的词义解释为“疼痛的”，其实，严格说来，它的意思是“令人疼痛的”“引起疼痛的”，即causing pain to your body。所以网友的句子是错误的。比较：误：I am painful in my stomach.正：I have a painful stomach.正：My stomach is painful.正：I have a pain in my stomach.

提供夸克的两个解释，供参考：1. 夸克在其“语法大全”的1978年版中认为 assume 不适合发生否定转移：其实就包括网友给出的两个句子（换句话，我估计网友的句子就是从这里来的）：I don't assume that he came.I assume that he didn't come.既然上面两句不属于否定转移的对应句，那它们的意思就会有所不同，比如：我不相信他来了。我相信他没来。 附夸克翻译版原文如下：2.有意思的是，夸克在其“语法大全”的1987年版中则认为 assume 有时可以发生否定转移。相关说明如下：

首先要明确的是，这样用的 of…不能换成-’s形式。其中的 of 表示同位关系，整个短语的意思是“天使般的孩子”。像 an angel of a child 这类表达，中心词是 child，而不是 angel，它也可转化为 an angelic child。再给你一些类似的表达：He has an angel of a wife. 他有位仙女般的妻子。They hate that beast of a foreman. 他们恨那畜生般的工头。The man has the devil of a temper. 那人的脾气像魔鬼。No one liked that fool of an assistant. 没人喜欢那样的笨蛋助手。Do you know that idiot of a woman? 你认为那个傻女人吗？She got the devil of a toothache yesterday. 她昨天牙痛得厉害。He was bullied by the tyrant of a boss. 他受到那个暴君般的头儿的欺辱。比较下面的句子，情况有所不同（中心词是of前面的名词）：She has the face of an angel. 她有一张天使般的面孔。She has the sweetness of an angel. 她具有天使般的温柔。He had the spontaneity of a child. 他有着孩童般的率性。It moved with the speed of a whirlwind. 那东西以旋风般的速度移动。Lena moved with the grace of a dancer. 莉娜走路姿势有着舞者般的优美。He has the patience of a saint with those kids. 他对那些孩子有着圣人般的耐心。The storm attacked the coast with the fury of a hurricane. 风暴以飓风般的猛烈程度袭击了海岸。

a pack of后接复数作主语时，谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。如果强调整体，谓语动词用单数形式；如果侧重于组成整体的成员（即强调各个组成整体的个体），谓语动词用复数形式。如：A pack of reporters were waiting outside. 一群记者等在外面。（朗文）A pack of journalists was waiting outside the White House. 一帮记者正在白宫外等候。（剑桥）类似的用法也适合 a group of, a band of, a bevy of, a block of, a brood of, a bunch of, a circle of, a class of, a cloud of, a clump of, a cluster of, a colony of, a column of, a crop of, a crowd of, a drove of, a flock of, a gang of, a herd of, a host of, a line of, a pack of, a set of, a fleet of, a sprinkle of, a field of, a party of, a pile of, a rank of, a regiment of, a row of, a school of, a swarm of, a team of, a tribe of, a troop of, a bundle of, a slew of 等表达。如：A group of girls was / were waiting at the school gate. 一群女孩子在校门口等着。A team of experts has / have been called in to investigate. 一个专家小组已应召来进行调查。A bundle of books was / were crammed into the back of the car. 一捆书被塞进了车子的后部。A bunch of girls was / were sitting on the grass. 一群女孩坐在草地上。A gang of robbers was / were involved in a shoot-out with police yesterday. 一伙抢劫者参与了昨天与警察的一次枪战。A flock of sheep has / have escaped onto the road. 一群羊跑到路上去了。A herd of cows was / were descending into the valley. 一群牛正走下山谷。A team of gardeners tends / tend the grounds. 一组园艺工人照看这块场地。A crowd of onlookers was / were gathering to see the film being made. 一大群旁观者围拢来看拍摄电彩。 A row of police cars was / were blocking the road. 一排警车堵在路上。

1. at 还是 on单就 date 来说，它既可搭配 at 也可搭配 on，两者的区别是：若 date 表示 day 的意思，则搭配 on（指具体的某个日期）；若 date 表示 time 的意思，则搭配 at（笼统地指某个时间）。比较：Theatre tickets must be used on the stated date. 戏院门票必须在规定日期使用。The details can be added at a later date. 细节可过些时候再补充进去。2. 用 at 的更多例句：It's an idea that may be worth revisiting at a later date. 这个观点值得以后进一步探讨。The lines were interpolated into the manuscript at a later date. 这几行文字是后来加到稿子中的。Never put anything down on paper which might be used in evidence against you at a later date. 不要在纸上写下任何东西，免得日后成为对你不利的证据。Your suggestion will be brought before the committee at a suitable date. 你的建议在适当的时候要提交委员会。We agreed to consider the matter again at a future date. 我们同意将来某个时候再来考虑此事。The meeting will take place at an unspecified date in the future. 会议将于日后召开，具体日期不确定。A handsome young man is in love with a beautiful girl, we all wish they be married at an early date. 一个英俊的青年爱恋一个美丽的姑娘，我们都祝愿他们早日喜结良缘。3. 用 on 的更多例句：Come on the same date next year. 明年同一天来吧。We hope to deliver the goods on the agreed date. 我们希望在约定的日期交货。The aid did not arrive on the promised date, giving us the unpleasant feeling of having been run out on. 援助未能按约定日期来到，这使我们产生了好象被人抛弃了的不愉快感觉。Legal counsel will negotiate with the official on the implementation date for the new regulation. 法律顾问将与官员协商有关新法规的实施日期。
