With some children, small sums go a long way. (New Concept English, Book 3, L.15) with 在这里是什么意思？go a long way 又是什么意思？如何进行语法分析？
with 在这里的意思 = in the case of(对……来说,就……而论),常常作状语。例如:
-

-

go a long way 意为“用很长时间”“很有用”“大有益处”。在句法关系上，可把 a long way 分析为名词短语作状语。
-
Even these kinds of books go a long way with me. 甚至这些类别的书,对我也是很有用的。
-
