2017-10-16来源:和谐英语

习惯上后接to doing sth的名词

根据英语的搭配习惯,有些名词通常要后接to doing sth,而不接to do sth,因为其中的to是介词,而不是不定式符号。这类名词比较常用的有:

1. alternative 选择,可供选择的办法,替换

用于alternative to doing sth,其意为“代替……的选择”。如:

Unfortunately, there’s no practical alternative to driving. 遗憾的是,除了开车没有其他可行的方案。

Amalgamation was the only alternative to going bankrupt. 要想不破产,唯一的选择就是联合起来。

说明:have no alternative to doing sth与have no alternative but to do sth大致同义,均表示“除了做某事外没有其他的办法”,但前一结构中的to是介词,后接动词要用动名词,后一结构中的to为不定式符号。如:

He had no alternative to staying at home.= He had no alternative but to stay at home. 他没有别的办法,只好呆在家里。

另外,the alternative之后有时也接of doing sth,但此时不是表示“选择……代替……”而是表示同位关系。如:

We took the alternative of keeping quiet. 我们选择了保持沉默。

You have the alternative of marrying or remaining a bachelor. 你可以结婚也可以仍做单身汉,任你选择。

2. aversion 讨厌,憎恶

用于aversion to doing sth,表示“讨厌做某事”。如:

He had an aversion to getting up early. 他十分讨厌早起。

I have an aversion to traveling during the heat of August. 我讨厌在8月份的热浪中出去旅行。

She has an aversion to eating cow liver; it makes her ill. 她对牛肝很反感,这使她恶心。

3. dedication 专心致力,献身

用于one’s dedication to doing sth,表示“专心于做某事”。如:

His dedication to teaching gained the respect of his colleagues. 他专心致力于教学的精神赢得了同事们的尊敬。

偶尔也接不定式,尤其是用于have the dedication to do sth。如:

They had the dedication to continue their research in spite of the obstacles. 尽管有困难,但他们仍以献身精神继续进行研究。

4. dislike不喜爱,厌恶

Most of my friends feel a dislike to gambling. 我的大部分朋友都厌恶赌博。

I have a strong dislike to wearing such clothes in public. 我非常不喜欢在公共场合穿那样的衣服。

5. hindrance 妨碍

用于a hindrance to doing sth,表示对于做某事是一个妨碍。如:

Noise is a hindrance to studying. 噪音妨碍学习

Poor health is a hindrance to finding a job. 身体不好对于找工作是一个妨碍。

6. key 答案,秘诀,关键

用于the key to doing sth,表示“做某事的关键”。如(www.hxen.net):

The humble potato may be the key to feeding the world’s population. 这不起眼的土豆有可能是解决全世界人口温饱的关键。

但是,若用于具体义表示“钥匙”,则可用a key to do sth。如:

Have you got a key to open this door? 你有开这扇门的钥匙吗?

注意,即使是表示“钥匙”,若是用于引申义,也是用the key to doing sth。如:

A chemical has been discovered that may be the key to unlocking the mysteries of Parkinson’s disease. 已经发现一种化学物质,可能是揭开帕金森氏病奥秘的钥匙。

 

 

 

7. objection 反对,异议

用于objection to doing sth,表示“反对做某事”。如:

He had no objection to getting up early. 他对早起没有反对意见。

Have you any objection to changing your working hours? 你反不反对改变你的工作时间? 

有时动名词前可以带逻辑主语。如:

8. opposition 反对,抵抗,对抗

用于opposition to doing sth,表示“反对做某事”。如:

有时动名词前可以带逻辑主语。如:

9. priority 优先,优先权

主要用于give (top) priority to doing sth,意为“优先考虑做某事”“给予做某事优先权”“将做某事列为重点”。如:
