to do sth与to doing sth的区别

It’s difficult to pin her down ______ a date for a meeting.

A. to fixing B. to fix

答案是 A，为什么不选 B 呢？

是的，答案要选 A。因为 pin sb down to doing sth 是惯用结构，表示迫使某人做某事，其中的to为介词，故其后接动名词。句意为：

It’s difficult to pin her down to fixing a date for a meeting. 让她确定个开会日期实在是难。

又如：

I managed to pin him down to meeting us after work. 我设法让他同意下班后和我们见面了。

若意思明确，有时可省略其中的动名词：

You’ll find it difficult to pin him down to (naming) a price. 到时候你就知道了，很难让他说出个准价。
