She wished that he was as easy ______ (please) as her mother,who was always curious with perfume.
答案为 to please,请问为什么?谢谢!
▲你的问题涉及两个方面:一是 as…as…(与……一样)结构;二是 sb is easy to please(容易讨好某人,使某人高兴很容易)。如:
He is easy to please. 他容易讨好。
John is easy to please. 想使约翰高兴很容易。
▲注意其中的 please 是及物动词,它与句子主语具有动宾关系(但习惯上用主动形式)。又如:
Solid fuels are easy to transport. 固体燃料易于运输。
Fish is easy to digest when you’re ill. 生病时吃鱼容易消化。
She is very easy to get along with. 她很好相处。
Their house isn’t easy to get to. 他们的房子不容易找到。
【跟踪解答】这里的 sb is easy to please 不能改成 sb is easy to be pleased。这类句式习惯上要用主动形式表示被动意义,相关用法请参见英语语法网的以下文章:http://www.yygrammar.com/Article/201309/3444.html
