动名词作介词宾语的用法广为人知,如 He is good at swimming。但be busy doing 结构中的动名词用法却常引发疑问。事实上,这里的动名词正是介词宾语,因为它源自"be busy in doing something "这一结构,现代英语中省略了介词 in,这一省略现象在历史语料中有所记载,理解了这一点,我们便能将这一看似特殊的用法归入熟悉的语法框架之内。在今日评析的英语原创中,就有这方面的问题,除此之外,还有几处语言表达瑕疵。看原文吧,你能发现几个问题?
一,发现问题
下面是DeepSeek对我的评价
二,分析问题并修改
(一)英语中有几个词组,都是省略介词的。下列结构中动名词前面都省略了介词in
1.He spent two hours (in) doing homework.他花了两个小时做作业。
2.My uncle is busy learning to drive the car.我叔叔最近忙于学车。
3.We had great fun swimming in the river last week.我们上星期去河里游泳了,非常快乐。
4.Tom has trouble working out the problem.汤姆做那道题很困难。
5.Don't waste time advising him to stop smoking.不要浪费时间劝他戒烟了。
6.It's no use dealing with it like that.那样处理没有用。
7.I spent almost 4 hours cleaning up the greasy kitchen.[微风][烟花]我花了几乎四个小时打扫这油污不堪的厨房。
没有必要再写一句,直接用形容词greasy做定语限定chicken就行。
(二)有些固定短语中的介词是不能省略的
1.He is used to walking to school.
他习惯走路上学。
2.My mother looks forward to seeing me.
我妈妈盼望着见着我。
(三)foodstuff是一个单词,而且是可数名词。kitchenware也是一个单词,不可数名词。所以用lots of 或 a lot of 修饰。
I discarded lots of old foodstuffs and kitchedware.
许多过期的食品和破旧的厨具我都扔了。
(四)用动词不定式做真正主语,it形式主语。注意几种其它结构。
1.It gave me a great sense of relief and accomplishment to see it tidy.(形式主语)
看见厨房变整洁给了一种巨大的轻松感和成就感。
2.There is no need to get up so early.没有必要起那么早。(不定式做定语)
3.It is difficult for me to refuse him.要拒绝他我很难做到。(形式主语)
根据语境,优化词汇和语法,我最后修改版本如下
I spent almost 4 hours cleaning up the greasy kitchen. I discarded lots of foodstuffs and kitchenware.It gave me a great sense of relief and accomplishment to see it tidy.
思考题[微风][烟花]有错就改。
1.I spent two days ____(work) with my family in the countryside last month.
2.My father bought plenty of furnitures.
3.Mary had much trouble to recite the text.
4.It's no good to ask the little boy for help.
5.The parcel he looked forward to arrived at last.
