释义 | fight with Chambers 1985 and Copperud 1970, 1980 point out that fight with can be ambiguous. This can be true if you phrase the sentence just right (or perhaps we should say, just wrong) and remove it entirely from context. But real sentences are far less likely to be troublesome. These are typical: • They had to be together, share with each other, fight with each other, quarrel with each other —Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway, 1925 • ... I fight and grapple with them —Charles Lamb, The Essays of Elia, 1823 When fight is figurative, ambiguity is nearly impossible: • ... the losing battle that the plot fights with the characters —E. M. Forster, American Scholar, Autumn 1953 • ... the child should not have to fight with the book's pages —Bernice McLaren & Lawrence Dennis, Children's House, vol. 3, no. 5, 1969 |
