以下是引用dan在2004-6-12 12:18:00的发言:1. for 表sb目的时,后面只能接名词, 不能用v-ing. 如用动词,只能用to do. 例子:I go to restaurant for a dinner. (正确) I go to USA for learning English. (错误) 2. for 后接v-ing时,一般是说明sth的用途. 例:It is a knife for slicing bread. 3. so that, in order that 使用上无区别,只不过so that 更常用,更口语化。 4。关于最后一个动词能否用call, 偶认为可以。 请各位NN指正。
解释得太好了!
但还有一问题:为何原文中用了the incentive for pirating? 这里不能讲pirating是incentive 的用途吧?
再者,经查朗文电子词典,incentive若要表目的,不用for, 而用incentive to do sth:
Farmers lack any incentive to manage their land organically.
同时朗文语法讲,部分名词要求不定式作修饰限制成分,如desire, need,wish等,如:I have a desire to defeat them. 请问这又如何解释incentive for doing sth? ![](/static/legacy-emoticon/Dvbbs/em06.gif) |
