Look at him __________ (eat/eating)! He sure is hungry.
请问这里应填eat还是eating, 还是其中任何一个都可以?两个含义相同吗?
根据《牛津英语用法指南》,两者都可以,用动词原形是美国英语。以下截图来自《牛津英语用法指南》第三版第355页:
好题老师,您好!
这是一个祈使句吗,我的选择是eating. 完整答句是:Look at him eating ! He sure is hungry.
理由:从后面的信息提示句he sure is hungry看,此人现在肚子很饿,祈使句Look at him eating意在让别人来看他现在的吃相,此人吃得正香。
另外,我检索了柯帕斯英语网上有关知识,老师们有对Look at him eat !的论述,老师分析认为这个句子还可以是一种感叹句。
据此推断,题目填eat也是可以的。
