be successful后面可以接介词at吗

表示“在……方面成功”，英语通常是在形容词 successful 后面接介词 in。如：

He was successful in the examination. 他考试成绩很好。

He was very successful in business. 他在商业方面非常成功。

包括后接 in doing sth。如：

They were successful in launching a communication satellite. 他们成功地发射了一颗通讯卫星。

Were you successful in finding a new house? 你想找所新房子找到了吗?

请问可以将 be successful in sth 中的介词 in 换成其他的介词吗？比如用介词 at 等。

黎老师说的是传统的观点，其实在现代英语中也可以用 be successful at (doing) sth 的。

▲比如《牛津高阶英语词典》在 successful 词条就列有以下两个搭配：

(1) successful in sth / in doing sth

(2) successful at sth / at doing sth

该词典用于说明这两个搭配用法的解释都是：achieving your aims or what was intended.

该词典给出的例句有：

I wasn't very successful at keeping the news secret. 我没能把这条消息严格保密。

▲又如《牛津英语搭配词典》在 successful 词条也有以下两个搭配：

(1) successful at

Though a top-rated movie star he has been remarkably successful at keeping his private life private. 虽然身为超级电影明星，他很成功地保护了自己的私生活。

(2) successful in

hoping their party would be successful in the elections 希望他们的党在选举中获得成功
