新概念三冊People who live in Britain needn't despair when they made mistakes like this (and a lot of people do) I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully.
新概念二冊The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.
英語中會用so指代前面的事情,后面兩個例子都用了SO,為什么第一個沒有用呢?
管理員[admin]回復:
M. Swan 在其《牛津英語用法指南》中認為:do so主要用于指有意的、動態的行動。一般不用這些表達方式來代替fall, lose, like, remember, think, own等動詞,因為它們表示非有意的行為或狀態。在People who live in Britain needn't despair when they made mistakes like this (and a lot of people do) 一句,do 用于代替 despair(絕望),顯然這是一個非有意的行為,故不用do so。
