The man idled away most of Monday in his office.
请问: most of Monday 前面可以用介词吗?
The man idled away most of Monday in his office.
请问: most of Monday 前面可以用介词吗?
【答】不可以使用介词,不能加 for 。idle away 是及物动词(词组),后面需要接宾语。因此,most of Monday 充当了宾语。如果加了for,那么idle away 缺少了宾语,为错句。
用不用介词for 的前提是:谓语动词是不及物动词,而且表示持续意义时。
我再举更多的例句:
He idled away his entire vacation.

来自《简明英汉词典》
He idled away the whole morning in his room.
他在房间里整整混了一个早晨。
来自辞典例句

来自《现代汉英综合大词典》

idle away 是短语动词,由及物动词 idle 和副词 away 构成。句型为 idle something away 或 idle away something。most of Monday 是宾语,不是状语,因此其前不能加介词 for。
《麦克米伦词典》:idle away (transitive)
例句:Morse idled away most of Monday in his office.
《朗文词典》:idle something ↔ away (phrasal verb)
例句:They idled their time away in the pub.

▲就你的句子来说,most of Monday 在句中用作状语,其前可以用介词 for,但通常省略:
The man idled away (for) most of Monday in his office. 这个人星期一的大部分时间都消磨在办公室里。
▲类似于 most of Monday 这样的表达如 most of the day (night, morning, afternoon, evening, week, month, year等)等的用法均如此。如:
It stayed cloudy (for) most of the day. 那天大部份时间天色阴暗。
We sat about talking (for) most of the morning. 今天我们大半上午都坐着闲聊。
My car stays in the garage (for) most of the week. 一周的大部分时间我的汽车都停放在车房里不用。
▲但这类结构如果是用作主语或宾语,则不能用任何介词。如:
We spent most of the day playing with the lemurs. 我们把那天大部分时间都用于与狐猴玩。
I spent most of the morning ministering to my sick husband. 我上午的大部分时间都在照顾生病的丈夫。
