可是,在第47题:
47. Five ?edgling sea eagles left their nests in western Scotlandthis summer, bringing to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised sincetransplants from Norway began in 1975.
不分开的bring to是固定搭配,带来的意思。而分开的是bring sth to sb,但是47题没有说出sb这样的成分,此时就是用不分开的bring to sth的形式。

哦,原来还有这个意思 ,但是Og解释里给option E说的是... it was not the eagles themselves but rather the entire action of their leaving their nests that brought the number to 34, 所以bring to 在这里不是固定搭配?疑惑阿。。。。
