For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel
Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.

请问句中的 for well over 是固定搭配吗?什么意思?谢谢!
这里的 for well over 并非固定搭配。for 是介词,表示时间段;well 是副词,表示强调,意思是“很”“相当”“大大地”“远远地”;over 的意思是“多于”“超过”,与 more than 同义。如:
He was driving at well over the speed limit. 他当时开车的速度远远超过了限制。
The castle is well worth a visit. 这座城堡很值得参观。
He liked her well enough but he wasn't going to make a close friend of her. 他够喜欢她的,但并不打算和她结为密友。
网友句中的 for well over a hundred years 的字面意思是“大大超过100年”,可以理解为“一百好几十年”。
