Question

请教英语上的问题。如下：我认为应该选 D。可是答案上说是选B。各位有谁知道的请帮个忙吧，谢谢！

Ever since she stood in front of a mirror, Lois began to commit herself _____the weight and getting ynto shape.

A. to shed B. to shedding C. shed D. shedding
不好意思我写反了，书的的答案是D，我认为是选B。你们有的说是选D，有的说选B，到底应该选哪个啊。我都特迷惘。

Answer 1

Lois began to commit herself _to shedding __the weight and getting ynto shape.

commit oneself to doing something，to在这里是介词，to 后面接动名词。
原句的意思是每当Lois站在镜子前，她就开始发誓要甩掉赘肉，获得好身材。

中文英语词典的解释都不清楚，仔细查了一下英语的解释，翻译如下。

1. to agree to something; to promise or pledge to do something.
同意做某事，承诺发誓许诺做某事
例句
Yes, I will commit myself to the repair of the door frame. 是的，我一定会去修门框
Will you commit yourself to finishing on time? 你承诺一定会按时完成工作吗？

2. to promise to support and assist something. 承诺支持某件事
例句
I can't commit myself to your cause at the present time.我现在不能承诺支持你的主张
She committed herself to being there on time.她承诺一定会准时到达那里。

Answer 2

commit to do sth: 保证做某事
commit to+名词或-ing: 委托, 将提交, 付诸, 承诺,这里的to是介词的用法,介词后接状语,而此处Lois要致力减肥，不是状语的用法。所以选D，希望对楼主有帮助。

Answer 3

应该选B,短语commit oneself to doing sth.

Answer 4

此题的确选择B。
首先是begin的用法 begin to do 意为开始做某事
再是 commit oneself to doing 的是致力于，献身于还有承诺的意思，这里的to 是介词所以用doing

故答案选B

Answer 5

commit oneself to 使自己向..表态
句子意思是：露易丝自我表态要减肥，保持好身材
shedding the weight and getting ynto shape 整体作名词成分，是被表态的对象

Answer 6

这个题就是选B，这是的commit不是犯的意思，而是commit sb /yourself to doing sth.承诺做某事的意思。
