为什么选keep it from不选keep from和avoid？ （一家之言，仅供参考。）

首先，“B keeps from doing sth” 和“B avoids doing sth”，语法上并没错，但要求“keep/avoid”和“doing sth”必须是同一主语B (所有“v.+v-ing”都这样）。如：

She can't keep from spending a lot of money in shopping. （she keeps and spends)
She can't avoid spending a lot of money in shopping. （she avoids and spends)

当其主语不同时，则须用B keep C from doing sth. 如下句：

She can't keep him from spending a lot of money in shopping. (she keeps and he spends)

回到这道题，是"（藏宝的人）to keep"，而"being stolen"的是"a chalice"，主语不同，就不能再用keep from/avoid doing sth，而用keep it from使being stolen的逻辑主语变成a chalice才对了。

总结：当遇到“v.+prep.+ doing”或 “v.+doing”时，先看v.和doing的逻辑主语是否一致，如果不一致，必须补宾语，不能假设读者能在上下文中找到v.和doing的各自的逻辑主语。
        

BTW，to be kept from不对，因为虽然这样a chalice可看成be kept from的逻辑主语，但并没有解决上述的双逻辑主语问题。同样的原因：The person buried a chalice to keep from being stolen by invaders.也是错的，虽然bury和keep的施动者一致。

前辈们讨论的精华贴！！！

183.
                Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably buried to keep from being stolen by invaders.

(A) to keep from

(B) to keep it from

(C) to avoid

(D) in order that it would avoid（B）

(E) in order to keep from

如果改写成

a recently discovered chalice was probably buried (by somebody) to keep it from being stolen by invaders.

对比

a recently discovered chalice was probably buried (by somebody) to keep from being stolen by invaders.

这样看是不是第一个更清楚。

以下是引用薰衣紫草在2005-5-26 9:05:00的发言：

"To do" here indicates the goal of the action. It doesn't necessarily have to comply with the subject.

But if "to do" itself means an action, it has to have an agency to act upon it.

但是前几天碰到princeton的一道题，答案却是B
            

Renowned for both his wealth and his eccentricity, industrialist Howard Hughes left behind a series of wills and codicils of staggering complexity, one that took teams of lawyers and squabbling beneficiaries years to sort it out.

A.      took teams of lawyers and squabbling beneficiaries years to sort it out

B.      took teams of lawyers and squabbling beneficiaries years to sort out

是不是princeton的答案错了啊。。。。

这个问题还是没说明白啊   我甚至连one这里指什么都不太清楚

希望大家能来讨论一下

从后面的句意理解，one是指staggering complexity，为什么用ONE，因为ONE（单数）是特指，不用的话，不知道that是修饰wills 还是complexity，还是两个一起修饰。
