■第一個(gè)問題
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their reader with unimportant facts and statistics.
▲句中的不定式短語 to provide…表目的,沒錯(cuò),同意你的看法!
又如:
She had gone to extremes to avoid seeing him. 為了避免見到他,她已走到了極端!浴秳蚋呒(jí)英語詞典》
■第二個(gè)問題
He went to extremes to say that his girlfriend was the most beautiful in the world. 他走極端說他的女朋友是全世界最漂亮的。
▲我不知這句話是否有權(quán)威出處(好像不是出自《新概念》)。個(gè)人認(rèn)為要表示類似意思,英語似乎是用go to the extremes of (doing) sth。如:
He went to the extreme of adulation, describing Churchill as the greatest man who ever lived. 他極盡吹捧之能事,把丘吉爾描繪成歷史上最偉大的人。——摘自《牛津英語搭配詞典》
The police went to the extremes of installing the most advanced safety devices in the man’s house. 警方采取極端措施,在那個(gè)男子家里安裝了最先進(jìn)的安全裝置!浴犊铝炙Cobuild高階英漢雙解學(xué)習(xí)詞典》
所以我們是不是該說:
He went to the extremes of saying that his girlfriend was the most beautiful in the world. 他走極端說他的女朋友是全世界最漂亮的。
■第三個(gè)問題
He was glad to hear the news.
句中的不定式表原因。
以上觀點(diǎn)僅屬個(gè)人看法,愿與朋友們共同探討!尤其是第二個(gè)問題,希望有興趣的朋友參與討論!
