I look forward with keen anticipation to work with you and your colleagues.(大学生竞赛题)
请分析句中的错误。
应牢记:在 look forward to 这个短语中 to 是介词,而不是动词不定式符号。因此 to 之后应接名词、动名词或代词(表人、表物均可)。但是我们中国学生常常搞错。在我收到的来自美国中国留学生的书信中,有不少人写过这样的句子:
I am looking forward to see you. (应为 to seeing you)
下面举一些正确例句:
-
We are all looking forward to your party on Saturday. (CGEL) 我们所有的人都盼望着你周六的聚会。
-
Jim is looking forward to having the house to himself. (CGEL) 吉姆期望着自己拥有那栋房子。
-
I am looking forward to her arrival [to seeing her]. (PEG) 我盼着她的到来(见到她)。
-
They are looking forward to Mary's coming. (Eckersley) 他们盼望着玛丽的到来。
-
I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Arts. (TOEFL) 我特别盼望去参观现代艺术博物馆。
