So banks are profiting off of police brutality in black and brown neighborhoods.
The plug-in hybrid and could tide Toyota over until the electric vehicle market becomes big enough to profit off of it.
请教老师,为什么上面2个例句中在profit off后都出现了介词of ? 这个介词of如何分析和理解?
off of 作为复合介词为非正式用法,在正式口语或写作中应该避免。在表示来源这个意思时,off作为介词也是非正式的。较为正式的用词为from.
你的句子中,profit off of sth/sb = profit off sth/sb = profit from sth/sb.
The Free Dictionar关于off of的用法说明:
Usage Note: The compound preposition off of is generally regarded as informal and is best avoided in formal speech and writing: He stepped off (not off of) the platform. Off is informal as well when used to indicate a source. Formal style requires I borrowed it from (not off) my brother.
