介词for用法疑惑的地方: 1.for + 时间段,所匹配的时态问题; 2.for + 时间段,其中for省略与否的情况; 3.for + 次数,其中for省略与否的情况; for many a time, for many times, for twice, for three times哪个成立? 4.for + 具体时间(时间点)成立吗? 5.for + 时间段,与瞬间动词连用,成立吗? 第三:for +次数,其中for省略与否的情况 话题看起来不大,可查找的论述材料并不多,但事实上的确有用,比如高考英语就有过类例,中考英语真题的翻译试题也有过相应的表述。 第1:for + 次数,其中for必须省略; 第2:for + 次数,其中for可省可不省。 第1:for +次数,其中for必须省略; 《英语语法大全》(张道真编著)(下)第236页1652(i) From 1970 to 1980, I met her four times (不要说for four times). 《葛传槼英语惯用法词典》第617页time词条4 I have met him three (或four) times等句子里的three times的前面没有for。 新版《朗文高阶英汉双解词典》第2385页time词条3 He’s seen the movie at least six times. 《英语词语用法详解词典》第408页for词条22. 注:(3) for短语不可用于回答how many times(多少次)这样的问句。例如: How many times did he meet her? —He met her three times. 他见过她几次了?—他见过她三次。 《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第八版第2189页time词条8:time: 次;回: How many times (= how often) do I have to tell you not to do this? 我得要跟你说多少回不要做那种事? 新版《朗文高阶英汉双解词典》第2385页time词条3 How many times did you take your driving test? How many times have I told you not to wander off like that? (= I have told you many times) 第2:for +次数,其中for可省可不省。 从实例来看,for + 次数,其中for可省可不省,有三种情形: 1.1for many times = many times,注意不是how many times; 1.2for the first time = the first time,这里指的是作为副词短语的结构(不是连词结构的the first time); 1.3for several times = several times,这里的高考真题作为例证。 2.1 for many times = many times,注意不是how many times; 《朗文当代高级英语辞典》第5版第2667页time词条3:次,回 Mary had seen the film many times. 玛丽已看过这部电影许多次。 《英语词语用法详解词典》第952: He has failed for many a time.

(he, fail) 命题人所提供的答案为:that he has failed (for) several times 《英语搭配大辞典》第1762页time词条 For the first few times I was frightened, but I soon got used to it.
