They went to London ______ just over five years.
A. for B. since C. before D. when
瞬间动词也可以和时间段状语连用吗?
因为 B. since,C. before 和 D. when 后面都不能接表示段时间的短语,所以,A. for 是答案。
与瞬间动词连用的时间段短语是目的状语,不是时间状语。例如:
Can I borrow your pen for a minute? 我可以借你的笔用一下吗?(《朗文当代高级英语辞典》第5版)
He asked if he could borrow it for a month or two.(美国英语)他问是否能借用它一二个月。(薄冰:《英语惯用法词典》)
