mistake后面是接in doing, of doing, to do的区别

He made the mistake of leaving his valuable record collection with a former girlfriend.

请问句中的 of leaving可以换成 in leaving或 to leave吗？

我认为你的句子中的 of leaving 不可可以换成 in leaving或 to leave。

He made the mistake of leaving his valuable record collection with a former girlfriend. 他犯了一个错误，不该把他收藏的一批珍贵唱片留在前女友那。

句中的 make the mistake of doing 可看作固定搭配，如果 mistake 前用的是不定冠词，则用 make a mistake in doing（注意两者在含义上也有区别）。比较：

She made the mistake of thinking they were important. 她错以为他们很重要。

The waiter made a mistake in adding up the bill. 服务员结账时算错了。

至于后接不定式，好像主要用于句首有形式主语的情形（其后的不定式为真正的主语）：

It's a mistake to disparage their achievements. 贬低他们的成就是个错误。

It would be a great mistake to ignore these problems. 忽视那些问题将会酿成大错。

It was a big mistake to leave my umbrella at home. 我把雨伞留在家里失算得很。

另外有些相关的变体也可能这样用：

It’s an easy mistake to make. 那是一个很容易犯的错误。(=It’s easy to make such a mistake.)

还有些则可能是有某些固定搭配：

The boss won’t allow such a mistake to go unpunished. 老板不会放过这样的错误。（allow sth to do sth）
