说明
a place to stay/to stay at
核心问题
-
The place (for you) to stay is the university guest house.
-
We went round the town in search of a place to stay.
在 the place to stay 结构中, to stay 在语法上是 the place 的定语, 但在语义上 the place 却是 to stay 的状语, 然而在 to stay 之后没有用介词 at 或 in。这是为什么呢?
词典解答
place 是个特殊的词, 当动词不定式充当它的定语时可以省略介词。除了 place 之外,
place
day, time 和 way 也具有相同的用法。参见 infinitive 。
