| 词组 | succeed |
| 释义 | succeed A person may fail to do something or succeed in doing it: • ... the little man had succeeded in disturbing the boy —Roald Dahl, Someone Like You, 1953 • ... may well succeed in carrying the day —Times Literary Supp., 19 Feb. 1970 Fowler 1926 cited as an error a passage in which succeed was followed by an infinitive rather than by in plus a gerund. A few later commentators have also observed that the infinitive after succeed is not idiomatic. Our evidence supports that observation. Aside from the Fowler citation, we have encountered only a single example of succeed followed by an infinitive: • Only a few individuals succeed now to enter and to climb these ladders —Pitirim A. Sorokin, Society, Culture, and Personality: Their Structure and Dynamics, 1947 |
