The father was so busy that he couldn’t find any time _____ his son to the zoo.
A. take B. taking C. to take D. being taking
请问:如何选?为什么?非谓语动词作什么成分?
The father was so busy that he couldn’t find any time _____ his son to the zoo.
A. take B. taking C. to take D. being taking
句子中是一个非谓语动词的位置。take如果是动词原型则为限定形式,只能在虚拟语气和祈使语气的句子中作谓语,如果是不带to的不定式,则只能用于有限的场合,因此排除A。being taking这种形式在英语中不存在,D予以排除。taking如果是动名词,动名词不能作后置定语;如果是现在分词,无论作宾补还是定语都必须和time具有逻辑上的主谓关系。因此排除B。C为正确答案。
不定式作time的限制性定语,不是目的状语。目的状语前可以加in order to/so as to予以强调,并且可以移至句首,time后的不定式不可以这样,因为不是目的状语。
不定式前可以加介词+which,构成介词+which+不定式结构,更加证明不定式是定语。如in which to take his son to the zoo.

【答】选C。find time to do sth.是十分常见的一个结构,不定式作目的状语;也可以理解为定语,表“动状关系”。所谓动状关系,是指time 表示to do sth. 的时间状语。这样理解就是:find time in which to do sth.
我个人觉得,time 后面的不定式,作定语不如作目的状语利索。
