interested in doing和interested to do
有這樣一道題:
You are right, we are not interested _________ tostories, but now we'd be interested _________ yourstory.
A. in listening, in hearing B. to listen, to hear
C. in listening, to hear D. to listen, in hearing
【分析】此題容易誤選A,因?yàn)?be interested in 是大家很熟悉的結(jié)構(gòu),in 是介詞,其后接動(dòng)詞自然應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞。但是,從句意來(lái)看,此題的最佳答案應(yīng)是C.為此請(qǐng)注意以下區(qū)別:
be interested in doing sth = 對(duì)做某事感興趣(指一般性的動(dòng)作)
be interested to do sth = 很有興趣做某事,很想做某事(指尚未發(fā)生的動(dòng)作)
如:He is interested in listening to stories. 他對(duì)聽(tīng)故事很感興趣。
We'd be interested to hear your story. 我們很想聽(tīng)聽(tīng)你的故事。
請(qǐng)看一個(gè)類(lèi)似的例子:
be keen on doing sth = 熱衷于做某事(指一般性的動(dòng)作)
be keen to do sth = 喝望做某事(指尚未發(fā)生的動(dòng)作)
He is keen on playing tennis. 他很喜歡打網(wǎng)球。
I can't drive yet, but I’m keen to learn. 我還不會(huì)開(kāi)車(chē),但我很想學(xué)。
但是,以上用法是不可以隨便推而廣之的,因?yàn)椴⒉皇撬械摹癰e 形容詞”都可同時(shí)接不定式或“介詞 動(dòng)名詞”的。如:
(1)要表示“喜歡做某事”,英語(yǔ)可用be fond of doing sth,但不用be fond to do sth.
(2)要表示“忙于做某事”,英語(yǔ)可用be busy in doing sth,但不用be busy to do sth.
(3)要表示“厭煩做某事”,英語(yǔ)可用be tired of doing sth,但不用be tired to do sth.
(4)要表示“做某事做遲了”,英語(yǔ)可用be late in doing sth,但不用be late to do sth.
(5)要表示“做某事有經(jīng)驗(yàn)”,英語(yǔ)可用be experienced at / in doing sth,但不用be experienced todo sth.
另外,對(duì)于可用于兩個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)者,也不見(jiàn)得含義都有以上區(qū)別的。如:be fortunate in doing sth與befortunate in doing sth大致同義。
