Question

afford to do sth 与 afford doing sth 有什么区别

Answer 1

afford sth.to s.=afford sb.sth.
1.afford是动词,意为“买得起,担负得起”.通常与can,could,be able to连用,尤用于否定句或疑问句中.如：
They couldn’t afford $50 for a ticket.
他们拿不出50美元买一张票.
Can we afford a new car?
我们能买得起一辆新车吗?
2.afford后面常跟带to的动词不定式.如：
We can’t afford to go abroad this summer.
今年夏天我们没有足够的钱出国.

Answer 2

afford to do表示“支付得起去做某事”，而afford doing是错误的搭配用法。例如，“我买得起这辆车”可以说成“I can afford to buy this car”，但不能说成“I can afford buying this car”。
