词组 | busy doing/busy with doing |
释义 | busy doing/busy with doing 【问】 下面是《英语正误辨析词典》(上海外语教育出版社,1995年版,P.56)对busy用法的 正误分析: [误] I was busy with writing my term paper last week. [正] I was busy writing my term paper last week. [说明]busy后可直接接动名词,不用介词。但如果busy后跟名词时,就要用介词with,例如:He is busy doing his homework.(他忙着做家庭作业。)也可说:He is busywith his homework,busy后如接‘介词+动名词’,这个介词应该是in而不是with。” 您也认为上面的所谓“误句”真是误句吗? 【答】 我认为上面的所谓“误句”是个正确的英语句子,并没有什么错误。CGEL的作者明确指出:在某些情况下,busy with doing sth.中的介词是可有可无的: 1. Margery is busy writing letters. (CGEL) 马杰里忙着写信。 2. I’m busy (with) getting the house redecorated. (CGEL.§16.83) 我忙于重新装饰房屋。 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第209-210页. |
