hope for/hope of

一般地说，介词动词所使用的介词与其相关的名词所使用的介词是相同的。

We believe in our government. 我们相信我国政府。

I have great belief in early rising. 我很相信早起的益处。

That adds heavily to the difficulty of my work. 这大大增加了我工作的难度。

That brought an addition of $10,000 to the original estimate.

这使得原来的估计增加了1万美元。

但是，hope 是个例外：作动词时后接 for，作名词时后接 of:

1. We hope for an improvement in our meals. 我们希望改善伙食。

2. In this I hope for your help. (Mis) 在这方面我希望你的帮助。

3. After the dry weather everyone hopes for rain. (LDCE) 在干燥的天气之后人人都希望下雨。

4. They gave up all hope of his recovery. 他们放弃了康复的一切希望。

5. I am in hopes of success. 我怀着成功的希望。

6. I have not much hope of success. 我没有多少成功的希望。

然而,有时也能遇到名词 hope 之后使用介词 for 的例子:

1. They are all full of hope for the future. 他们对未来都充满着希望。

2. Technical co-operation is the only hope for progress. 技术合作是进步的唯一希望。

3. I expressed my hope for his recovery. (Wood) 我表达了祝他康复的愿望。

但是,有些著作认为名词 hope + for 是错误的:

× I left the bag on a bus and I have no hope for getting it back.

√ I left the bag on a bus and I have no hope of getting it back. (《朗文英语正误词典》, p. 174) 请做下面的英语试题：
