另外,folly的這些用法在其它詞典中也得到印證: (1) 在英國(guó)柯林斯出版公司編著《柯林斯COBUILD高階英漢雙解學(xué)習(xí)詞典》(柯克爾等譯)(外語(yǔ)教學(xué)與研究出版社 2011年7月第1版)P1031上 folly 詞條后標(biāo)注 “oft N of n/-ing,it v-link N to-inf”(筆者注:即“folly”有兩種用法:一是可以接名詞或v-ing形式做后置定語(yǔ),但此時(shí)卻不構(gòu)成“have the folly of doing sth”結(jié)構(gòu);二是可以用于“it v-link+n+to do sth”句式,卻沒有“have the folly to do sth”結(jié)構(gòu)。) (2) 呂志士主編《英語(yǔ)慣用法大詞典》(中國(guó)科學(xué)技術(shù)出版社1994年12月第1版)P805:1.folly用作名詞,有兩個(gè)意思,一是“愚蠢”,是不可數(shù)名詞;另一個(gè)是“愚蠢的行為,愚蠢事”。是可數(shù)名詞。如: …… Jane smiled at his folly. The follies of youth are food for repentence in old age. 2. 在“It is folly +動(dòng)詞不定式”的結(jié)構(gòu)中,不用“a”的情況更普遍。如: It is folly to continue the investigation. It would folly to light a fire near that wood. It would be folly for you to try to lift the heavy stone. 3. 如果folly前有一個(gè)形容詞修飾,則加不定冠詞的情況更多一些。如:It is a sheer folly to play with fire. It is an absolute folly to talk like that in her presence. It is a great folly to bite the hand that feeds you. (3)《朗文當(dāng)代高級(jí)英語(yǔ)辭典》(英英•英漢雙解)(外語(yǔ)教學(xué)與研究出版社2004年7月第1版)P750: it would be folly to do sth It would be sheer folly to reduce spending on health education. the folly of a writer who satirized the follies of aristocratic society
