Question

是support to do 还是 support doing

Answer 1

support to do 支持某人/某物做某事

support的基本意思是“支撑; 负担(重量); 搀扶“，指凭借支撑(物)维持某特定的位置或状态，有时含有不屈服或不过分痛苦地忍受艰难困苦的意味。引申还可表示“维持”“养(家)”“赞成”“证实”“激励”“经常光顾,为…捧场”等。

support是及物动词，接名词或代词作宾语，也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。

例句：I hope you will support me in my efforts to discover the truth.

在我努力寻求揭发真相时,希望你能帮助我。

support

英 [səˈpɔːt]   美 [səˈpɔːrt]  

v.支持;拥护;鼓励;帮助;援助;资助;赞助

n.支持;拥护;鼓励;资助;帮助;救助;援助;支撑物;支承;支柱;支座

词义辨析：support, advocate, uphold

这组词的共同意思是“支援,赞助”。其区别在于：

support指道义上或物质上支持某人,也可指对一项事业的支持或赞助; 

advocate指通过发表演说或写文章来表示支持、拥护,常暗示提倡某事或为某事辩护; 

uphold指把快要倒下的东西扶直并撑稳,引申指支持正受到攻击或挑战的某人或某事。

例如:

I was supported by him both materially and spiritually.我既得到了他的物质支持,也得到了他的精神支持。

He advocated building more good roads.他主张修筑更多的好公路。

He upheld his brother's honor.他维护他兄弟的名誉。
