she is looking forward as much to his return as he himself to seeing her

题目

she is looking forward as much to his return as he himself to seeing her
这句话是什么意思为什么要用seeing

答案

1. 该句存在省略,完整句子为：
She is looking forward as much to his return as he himself (is looking forward) to seeing her.
2. 即句中as引导的比较状语从句省略了谓语is looking forward (to),而该短语中to为介词,后面接名词/动名词,所以用seeing.
它刚好也和前面的名词短语his return一样,都是(look forward) to的宾语.
