情景:汤姆正在和一位美女吃饭,此时汤姆对美女说了三句话,请问他想表达的意思是什么?三种表达有什么区别?
A. This is my first time to be having dinner with a beautiful girl.
B. This is my first time to have dinner with a beautiful girl.
C. This is the first time I have had dinner with a beautiful girl.
(注意:情景是他们正在吃饭)
区别是,只有第三句是正确表达。第一句和第二句属于语法错误。
This/That/It is sb's first time 后面接that从句(从句用完成体)或者后接doing形式。不用不定式结构。
所以,还可以说,This is my first time having dinner with a beautiful girl.
网友可以在COCA语料库搜索 is my first time, 看看后面接什么结构。
另外可以参读《牛津英语用法指南》first词条。
