引用第0楼曼迪于2008-05-21 13:55发表的 A question :
Here is a correct sentence——
As the pace of life in today's world grows ever faster, we seem forever on the go. With so much to do and so little time to do it in, how are we to cope?
What's the usage of "in"?
Thank you.
这里的in是介词in的最普通的用法,原句中 With so much to do and so little time to do it in的逻辑关系是 We have to do so much in so little time ... 在这么短的时间内要做这么多事情……
这里不定式短语 to do 和to do it in都作定语,分别修饰much 和 time,前者与被修饰词much 是逻辑动宾关系 ( to do so much ) ,后者与被修饰词time 的逻辑动状关系 (to do it in so little time ) 。这个句子中in 可以省略。
1、2、4、6 楼的解释与原句好像没有任何关系! |
