核心问题
They treated him ____ a king when he won all the money.
A. as B. as being C. like D. like he was(Nelson, 300 D)
正确答案为 A。但是我在 CGEL(§ 16.47)中却遇到过这样的例句:
Her parents treated her
这不是意味着C(like)也是正确答案吗?
词典解答
R.Quirk等人在CGEL中所提出的treatAlikeB这个句型,在目前只能看作是非正式用法,而不应看作是正式用法。因此,目前除CGEL外,还没有一部辞书将treatAlikeB作为正式用法而收录。
-
Don't treat me as a child. (ALD) 别把我当作小孩子。
-
They treated him as a thief. (Hill) 他们把他看成小偷。
-
My employer treated my request as a joke. (LDCE) 我的老板把我的要求当成玩笑。
