【问】 在什么情况下使用hope for与hope of?
 【答】 一般地说，介词动词所使用的介词与其相关的名词所使用的介词是相同的。
 
 
 但是，hope是个外：动词后用for，名词后用of：
 1. We hope for an improvement in our meal.
 我们希望改善伙食。
 2. In this I hope for your help. (Mis)
 在这方面我希望你的帮助。
 3. After the dry weather everyone hopes for rain.(LDCE)
 在干燥的天气之后人人都希望下雨。
 4. They gave up all hope of his recovery.
 他们放弃了康复的一切希望。
 I hope not/I don't hope so 532
 5. I am in hopes of success.
 我怀着成功的希望。
 6. I have not much hope of success.
 我没有多少成功的希望。
 然而，有时也能遇到名词hope之后使用介词for的例子：
 1. They are all full of hope for the future.
 他们对未来都充满着希望。
 2. Technical co-operation is the only hope for progress.
 技术合作是进步的唯一希望。
 3. I expressed my hope for his recovery. (Wood)
 我表达了祝他康复的愿望。
 但是，有些著作认为名词hope+for是错误的：
 × I left the bag on a bus and I have no hope for getting it back.
 √I left the bag on a bus and I have no hope of getting it back.(《朗文英语正误词典》，P. 174)
 请做下面的英语试题：
 1. a minimum， the negotiators are an agreement with details to be out later.
 2. “Did you finish your work last year?” “Unfortunately not，despite ____ it. ”
 A. my hoping of finishing B. I hoped to finish
 C. my hope of finishing D. I hoped of finishing(Michigan)
