1 动词expect 和invest的用法(固定搭配)

以下是雅思范文中的两则句子:

It is understandable for people to expect schools teaching useful subjects. After all, most young people attend university in the hope that they can learn something useful to find a decent job. However, such a viewpoint does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that subjects like music and sports are not important for students.

请教老师,动词expect 的搭配是expect sb/sth to do sth。 而句中用了expect sb/sth doing sth 是否也正确?谢谢老师。

 

 

On the surface, high school graduates can invest more time to accumulatee working experencing and build professional contacts, something considered as career facilitatior in today’s world.


请教老师,invest 最常见的用法之一是 invest sth in doing sth 

此句使用了invest sth to do sth。 是否也标准?我在BBC语料库只找到了一句:

``The kids just are not trying,'' Sonny Osborne , said in an interview in his dressing room at the Grand Ole Opry House . You have to invest time to learn what it takes.'' 

谢谢老师。

显而易见,问题中的expect 和invest,原句使用错误。改正如下:

1. 及物动词expect,可以接不定式作宾语,也可以接不定式作宾补。但不可以接动名词作宾语,也不可接现在分词作宾补。如果把teaching useful subjects 理解为“定语”,根本讲不通。原句应改为:...expect schools to teach useful subjects

2. invest 用作及物动词,可接名词或代词作宾语。后接介词in,表示“把…投入”,即把资金投入商业活动中或有利益的事业中,也可指投入时间或精力。原句改为:

invest more time in accumulating working experencing and building professional contacts

It is understandable for people to expect schools teaching useful subjects.

teaching useful subjects为现在分词作后置定语,修饰前面名词school

schools teaching useful subjects=school which teach useful subjects
