Tom, ___ studying, knows nothing about what is happening.
A. devoted to B. having devoted ? C. being devoted D. devoting to
答案为A 原因是什么为什么用ed而不用ing形式?不是主语 tom发出的动作么?谢谢
看来bigbox没有查词典的习惯。如果你查词典,你就会发现devote永远是及物动词,后接宾语,然后与介词to搭配,构成devote oneself to sth 或devote sth to sth 句型。选项D devoting to sth中,现在分词表示主动意义,后接介词短语,这是误将devote 当作不及物动词用了,所以是错误的。
devoted作为过去分词表示被动意义,其逻辑主语为sb, 形容词化后作表语,sb is devoted to sth. 系表结构表示主语(某人)主语致力于/献身于/专注于某事的状态。being devoted to sth现在分词短语可以省略系词being, 剩下形容词短语devoted to sth作状语。表示主语的状态。
网友的很多问题都是不了解动词的用法所致。查一下词典,看看词典例句,你的问题都会迎刃而解的。要学会使用词典,否则你没遇到一个动词的特殊用法都会疑惑,这会给你造成挫折感。当你通过查词典自己解决了问题,不但提高了你自学英语的能力,还会增强你的信心。
