介词填空:
She rose above the difficultly ______ being deaf to become an excellent teacher.
答案是填 of,但为什么不填 in 呢?have difficultly in doing sth 不是一个常用的句型吗?
She rose above the difficulty of being deaf to become an excellent teacher.
1. rise above 的本义是“上升到…之上”,引申为“超越”,“克服”。本句的rose above 即是引申义“克服”。
2. the difficulty of being deaf :“耳聋的困难”。
of 的主要用法,是表示“所属关系”。此外,它还可以表示“同位关系”或者“解释关系”,the difficulty of being deaf 便是这种关系:the difficulty = being deaf。一个人如果耳朵聋了,那么对他来说就是一种困难。
表示同位关系时,of 前的这个名词往往特指,需加定冠词the。又如:
the difficulty of water shortage 缺水困难
the difficulty of parking in big cities 大城市的停车困难
the difficulty of being deaf 耳聋的困难
但 have difficulty in doing 则没有冠词 the。
3. to become an excellent teacher 是结果状语。
4. 翻译:她克服了耳聋的困难,终于成为一名优秀的教师。
5. have difficulty in doing sth. 这里的介词in 表示“方面”,意为“在做某事方面有困难”。这时的 difficulty 是不可数名词,不需要特指。显而易见,根据上句的内容要求,不可用 in 代替 of。
