英语中的to在不同的语境下有不同的用法,既是不定式符号,又可以作为介词。当它接动名词时,如admit to doing, apply to doing, be/get used to doing等,形成特定的搭配,理解这些搭配能帮助我们更准确地运用英语。
首先,admit to doing sth表示承认做了某事,例如"He admitted to having taken the money."(他承认拿了那笔钱)。apply to doing sth不仅适用于某事,如"methods apply to learning English",还可以指及物动词,如"apply one's mind to finding a solution"(我们要动脑筋找出解决办法)。
习惯于做某事的表达有be/get used to doing,如"John has got used to sleeping late"。而"come [be] near to doing sth"则表示几乎做某事,"She came near to forgetting her raincoat"就是例证。
介词next to后面接动名词,如"Next to skiing, her favorite sport was ice-hockey"。devote sth to doing sth强调投入,如"Charlie devotes his time to reading",其被动式如"This dictionary is devoted to explaining word usage"。
通过以上搭配,我们可以看到英语中的to在表达各种意图和行为上发挥着重要作用,熟练掌握这些用法将有助于提高我们的英语表达能力。例如,"She didn't feel equal to receiving visitors"(她感到身体不适,不能会客)和"She fell to brooding about what had happened to her"(她开始沉思自己的遭遇)。
