介词 for 用法说明
介词 for 用法说明
1. 后接名词可用来表示目的。如:
What did you do that for? 你干吗这样做?
I try to go for a run every day. 我每天都试着跑一跑。
但它习惯上不能后接动名词来表目的,遇此情况可改用不定式发,如:
He went there to see his uncle. 他去那儿看他叔叔。
不过,对于已经名词化的动名词,它可以与for连用表目的。如:
He went there for swimming. 他去那儿游泳。(swimming 已名词化)
另外,for doing sth 虽然不用于表目的,但可用于表原因、用途等。如:
Thank you for coming to see me. 谢谢你来看我。
This is a tool that’s used for cutting hedges. 这是一样用来整修篱笆的工具。
2. 用于表示时间或距离的长度(尤其是紧跟在动词之后)时,有时可省略。如:
The meeting lasted (for) three days. 会议持续了3天。
They walked (for) fifty miles. 他们走了50英里。
但是,当for短语位于句首或在否定句中时,for 通常不宜省去。如:
For ten years he lived here. 他在这里住过10年。
We have not heard from him for a long time. 我们很久没收到他的来信了。
3. 用于for sb to do sth引出不定式的逻辑主语时,该结构可用作主语、表语、宾语、定语、目的状语、结果状语、比较状语等。如(www.hxen.net):
For a child to do that job is just inconceivable. 让一个孩子做这项工作真是不可思议。
It is for you to decide. 该由你来决定。
