It was not until Graeser was 45 years old that he devoted his time on paining.弱弱问下它的中文是什么呢？其他人都是用devoted his time to，为什么您用的是devoted his time on?两者差别在哪呢？关于倒装句，我想请教，改写倒装句时有什么技巧的，有什么一定要注意不能错的？

追答

不好意思，╮(╯﹏╰）╭写错了，是要填devote to，这个是固定搭配， 没有 devoted his time on

It was not until Graeser was 45 years old that he devoted his time on paining.
译文:格里森到了45岁才把时间花在画画上。（not until 意为直到。。。才 ）

你这里的倒装句属于部分倒装，你可以参考这个链接：http://baike.baidu.com/view/201333.htm

to后面可以是动名词么，为什么？再弱弱的问下，句子2中您翻译：不如冬天难，用的是is easier than in winter，我想说，如果是is easier than that in winter会不会好点呢？

追答

1. 这里的to是介词，固定搭配：devote to sth. / doing sth. 专用于做……，专心于做……

2.填 is easier than in winter 或者 is less difficult than in winter 比较好，不用加that

追问

请问为什么不用加that？that不是用来代替getting out of bed的么？还想请问一下下：less difficult,什么时候用less呢？less 后面的形容词是否一定要多音节的？如果是单音节的应该怎么办呢？我的英语非常菜的，所以问题有点菜~但我现在已下定决心要学习它，请您多多教导下我~~拜托了~达人大人~！
