英语 请问leave后的to什么意思?
He lives at one of the royal hunting-lodges,which can be reached from here in an hour and a half by walking,and which he obtained leave to inhabit after the loss of his wife

答案

leave在这里作名词使用可被译为休假,告假.to这里是个习惯用法,obtain sth.to do sth.就像是ask aomebody to do sth.中的to是一样的道理.因此后面这句就是说,在他失去了自己的妻子之后,他获得了休假许准从而得以住在一所皇家猎人旅馆.
