go on to do/go on doing/go on with

动词加上介词或副词，构成短语动词（phrasal verbs）。英语的短语动词数量浩瀚，词义繁多，是学习、翻译英语的一大难关。在本例中，译者没有注意到 go on to do sth.，go on with sth.，go on doing sth. 这三个短语动词在语义上的区别。

go on doing sth. 常常是指继续或不间断地做某事(continue without break or interrupt)。例如：

1. They went on working till late in the night. 他们不停地工作，一直到深夜。

2. He went on talking in spite of my request. 他不停地讲着，尽管我请求他停下来。

3. He went on talking as though nothing had happened. 他继续不停地讲着,仿佛什么事情也没有发生似的。

go on doing 有时也可表示“一度中止后又继续做某事”，见下条。

go on with sth. 则意味着一度中止后, 又继续下去。例如:

1. He took a cup of tea, and went on with the story. 他喝了一杯茶，又继续讲故事。

2. She went on with her writing after supper. 晚饭后，她继续写文章。

go on to do sth. 是指做完一件事后转而去做其它事。例如：

1. He went on to speak of his war experiences (= He began speaking of them after he had finished speaking of something else). 他转而谈到了他的战争经历。

2. After he had given an account of the difficulties, he went on to suggest ways of overcoming them. 在他说明了存在的困难之后，他提出了克服困难的方法。

3. Harry wanted her to marry him as soon as she graduated, but Ivy wanted to go on to study law. 哈里想要艾维一毕业就跟他结婚，但是艾维希望毕业后去攻读法律。

[试译]由此他就可以进而去欣赏更为复杂的形体或者若干形体的结合体。
