词典look forward to 【问】 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。 【答】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: 1. 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。 2. Jim is looking forward to having the house to himself. (CGEL) 吉姆期望着自己拥有那栋房子。 3. I am looking forward to her arrival [to seeing her]. (PEG) 我盼着她的到来(见到她)。 4. They are looking forward to Mary's coming. (Eckersley) 他们盼望着玛丽的到来。 5.

But the disaster broke her dream. She had to live with an artificial leg. It wasn't comfortable, and her leg often bled. People's curious eyes made her even more uncomfortable. She always tried to hide her leg under jeans or dresses. 3 With the support of her family and friends, Niu Yu slowly came out of the shadows. In 2018, right before her 21st birthday, she decided to stop hiding her leg. To her surprise, she received lots of encouraging words. She also finished a half marathon in about 4 hours. She completed the hard 10-year journey of finding herself again.

词典I look forward to/I am looking forward to 【问】我的学生问我:I look forward to seeing you. 与 I am looking forward to seeing you. 哪种表达方法是正确的?我便去查书,结果我在《商业书信》一书中查到 10 个 I look forward to doing 型的句子,而只查到 1 个 I am looking forward to doing 型的句子。由此,我得出结论,I look forward to doing 句型是一个普遍采用的句型。但我的同事在《英语语法大全》中查到 4 个 I am looking forward to doing 型的句子,而没有查到一个 I look forward to doing 型的句子。这就把我弄糊涂了。我们在书信中应当使用哪种句型呢?我应当如何向学生解释这两者的区别呢? 【答】在写书信时,有几个常用的动词,如 look, write, send, enclose, hasten 等,有时用作一般现在时,有时则用作现在进行时。总的说来,一般现在时在口气上是正式的,因此大都用在公文中(这跟你在《商业书信》中所查到的结果是一致的)。而现在进行时则用于比较随便的语体中,因此大都用在私人信函中。请比较下面的实例: 1. We look forward to hearing from you and to receiving a visit from your buyer. (The Language of English Business Letters, p. 9) 我们期望着收到您的来信,并接待买方的访问。 2. We enclose herewith our price list, together with details of our terms for bulk buyers. (同上, p. 9) 我们在信中附上了价格表以及对大宗买主的详细优惠条款。 3. I write to inform you that... (CGEL) 我写信通知你...... 4. I send herewith the catalogues. (Yeats) 我寄给您产品目录。 5. I am writing to inform that... (同上) 我通知你...... 6. I am writing to convey our congratulations on your success. (Wood) 我给您写信对您的成功表示我们的祝贺。 7. I'm looking forward to seeing you at Christmas. (PEU) 我盼望着圣诞节见到你。
