look to和in advance

Countries looking to raise their retirement ages typically make their intentions known five to ten years in advance. 这里的look to要作为展望来看的话,接的raise是原型,怎么划分来看look to do的结构呢?in advance这里是定语修饰five to ten years 吗?

Countries looking to raise their retirement ages typically make their intentions known five to ten years in advance.

【翻译】希望提高退休年龄的国家,通常会提前五到十年宣布自己的规划。


1. 英语表达在朝着简洁的方向发展。look to do 大有取代 look forward to doing 的趋势,尤其是美国英语。其用法跟 expect/hope/wish to do 差不多。

2. five to ten years in advance:总体是个时间状语,修饰make known。名词后的介词短语,一般都是作定语。所以,正如网友理解的那样,in advance 这里是定语修饰five to ten years。

five to ten years in advance

five to ten years修饰介词短语in advance, 而不是后者修饰前者。这类似于 five years before liberation。前者修饰后者,而不是后者修饰前者。
