核心问题
He made a New Year's resolution of giving up smoking.
这个句子正确吗？
词典解答
这个句子是错误的。如同 refusal, invitation, determination, inclination 等名词一样,作 “决心” 解的 resolution 只能接动词不定式,不能接 of doing。请看下面的实例:
-
He made a firm resolution to give up smoking. 他下了决心戒烟。
-
But he went away with the resolution to see her again. (Galsworthy) 他走了,带着再见到她的决心。
