老师请看以下句子:
This book is worthy of being read.
【我的疑问】read 可以当作名词来使用,介词of后面直接加名词 read 就可以了,为什么还要加being?去掉 being 可以吗?
谢谢老师!
read 可以用作名词。表示“数据读取”,“阅读行为”,“阅读时间”,“阅读材料”等意义。
表达上述意义时,read 原则上要跟不定冠词a 连用,强调一次性、具体性事件。除了加冠词a外,表示“阅读行为”时,read 之前往往还加一个形容词,说明“阅读的程度”如何,例如a good read,让这个“阅读行为具体化”。我们常说:have a look, have a good look; have a rest, have a good rest; have a read, have a good read。
以下表达都正确,试比较:
The book is worth a good read.
The book is worthy of a good read.
The book is worth reading.
The book is worthy of being read.
如果觉得我的回答对您有用,请随意打赏。你的支持将鼓励我继续创作!
This book is worthy of being read.
不可以去掉句子中的 being,因为 read 虽然可以用作名词,但用作名词的 read 通常要与不定冠词连用,所以如果要去掉 being,则要加上不定冠词,如说成:
This book is worthy of a read.
也可以说成:
This book is worth a read.
类似例句:
I’ll go home and have a read. 我要回家看看书。
Can I have a read of your paper? 我可以看一下你的报纸吗?
Can I have a read of that timetable? 我可以看一下那张时间表吗?
