非干货

 郑公书馆298 2016-10-16

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。

1for +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)

非干货——for + 次数,其中for省略与否的情况

《葛传槼英语惯用法词典》第617页time词条4

I have met him three (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)

2for +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:

2.2 for 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);

新版《朗文高阶英汉双解词典》第2385页time词条3

在“序数词+time”的场合,for可以省略,也可以不省略。例如:

He met her the third time. He met her for the third time.

这两句都意为:“他是第三次见到她了。”

2.3 for several times = several times,这里的高考真题作为例证。

2007年高考英语,湖北卷第33题,原题为:

The fact ________ (他失败了数次)makes him very upset. (he, fail)

命题人所提供的答案为:that he has failed (for) several times
