英语习惯上说 do a good job of doing sth(把某事做得很好),而不说 do a good job in doing sth do a good job to do sth。所以:

误:The museum did a really good job in showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures.

误:The museum did a really good job to show how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures.

正:The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures.

又如:

We should therefore do a good job of uniting with them. 所以我们要好好团结他们。

He did a good job of winning over a skeptical audience. 他成功地说服了一群原先持怀疑态度的听众。

The janitor does a good job of keeping the office clean. 管理员尽职尽责,把办公室打扫得干干净净。

The dry cleaner's did a good job of removing that oil stain from my shirt. 干洗店把我衬衫上的油渍去除得很干净。

如果认为英语只能说 do a good job of doing sth(把某事做得很好),而不能说 do a good job in doing sth do a good job to do sth——这有点太绝对;如果认为这几种形式可以任意替换,我觉得也不是很严谨。

我的理解是:在网友的语境中,do a good job of doing sth(把某事做得很好)是最通常的用法,至于 do a good job in doing sth do a good job to do sth,英语可以这样说(不算错),但比较少见。

网友要书上的例句,下面提供一个:

我的理解是:你可以这样替换,in+动名词形式,或使用不定式形式,你甚至还可以用分词showing形式,这几种替换形式都作状语。但最好把口语体的really 去掉或换为very 比较正式。请看语料库例句:
