Question

英语高手来

省略in的情况，请细说！

Answer 1

首先请看2002年春季高考试题第27小题：

This is Ted's photo. We miss him a lot .He _______trying to save a child in the earthquake.

A. killed B.is killed C.was killed D.was killing

简析：由于空格后是个分词结构，造成这道题目有很大的迷惑性。如果懂得了动名词trying…前省略了介词in ，就会发现这道题目只是一道简单的考查被动语态的题目，从而可以选出C项。

这个知识点出现在高三英语课本上册第22课：

Second ,much energy is wasted producing things that are thrown away.其次，浪费了大量的能源去生产那些要扔掉的东西。

类似的句子还有：

A lot of difficulties may be met building the bridge across the river.

在这条河上建筑桥梁可能会遇到很多困难。

其实，像这种省略in 的句子结构，高中阶段我们也见过不少，本文特作如下归纳：

3,There/It is no good /use/ help …(in) doing sth .做某事没好处/用处/帮助……

1〕There is no good (in)discussing it any further now.

现在再继续讨论这件事也没用。

2〕 It is no use (in) trying to explain it to her clearly.

4，have a good /pleasant /hard…time (in) doing sth.做某事愉快/高兴/艰难……
