标题: 大全190

190.By showing that South Africa does not have a free market and is in fact a kind of collectivist welfare state for Whites only, Sowell argues that American conservatives have no valid ideological grounds to be in sympathy with the Pretoria regime.

(A) to be in sympathy with

(B) to sympathize with

(D) that they should sympathize with（C）

(E) that they should have sympathy for

I can't find any mistake in (B). Is there any difference between "to" and "for" in this question? Sorry for my stupid question.

thanks : )

以下是引用mariezhu在2004-9-24 16:59:00的发言：

have grounds (usu. plural) for doing sth/ or noun

It's a phrase, just remember it

这个phrase到从来没有见过，grounds这里是不是表示‘理由’的意思？

mariezhu班班说的没错，hougang GG理解正确。

Les斑竹的解释真是太elaborate了, 太谢谢了

不过，看了LES MM的解释，好像B也是正确答案啊！！！

作者: LES 时间: 2004-12-19 22:33

hougang，谢谢夸奖！：）

其实看了longman的解释，发现关于ground与本题相关的两个用法是：

1. be grounds for doing sth.

2. have grounds to do sth.

基于这个理由，我认为这题的答案应该是B，尽管大全给出的答案是C。

另外，翻了一下自己以前的笔记，发现原来这题我也是一直做错的，最后是记下来硬背下C中的固定用法。我很奇怪，为什么当时没有想到去查一下字典？！

所以，我觉得这题值得大家再讨论一下，并怀疑大全答案的正确性。

刚刚又翻了一遍老贴，有说Webster's只有grounds for 的用法，我现在没有这本字典，谁能帮忙把那本字典中的相关解释都贴上来？谢谢！

牛津第四版增补中这样写

ground~for sth/doing sth/to do sth　　　作为说、做或者相信某事的理由或原因

作者: benjaminshufe 时间: 2005-3-27 16:14

Eg, 1 They had no grounds to arrest him

2 Her claim was disallowed on the grounds that she had not paid her premium

因此希望诸位大牛提出新的看法！

webster上只找到了一个例子——ground for complaint；不是ground for + 动名词；准备到图书馆查那本枕头。

这类题不会在新GMAT中出现，固定搭配不是SC的重点，我觉得两个都对。不管它就是了。

作者: wsdoll 时间: 2007-8-3 09:17

翻了些老贴。貌似没有定论。究竟have grounds to do sth. 对不对？

似乎应该是have grounds to do sth.

be grounds for....

应该选B吗？

有定论了吗？

B和C和D都对吧？

作者: ytachi 时间: 2008-8-24 13:35
固定搭配不是重点，那什么是重点啊...

我查的是张道真的现代英语用法词典，里面也只有have grounds for doing sth/ N，没有其它用法

作者: LUCIE_SIMON 时间: 2009-4-23 10:49
我查了牛津，只有grounds for sth和on the ground of sth的用法。
