题目

1.He awoke to the ringing of an electric bell.这句话中的 ring为什么用ringing?
2.Mary is a spoiled girl.很明显spoiled是个形容词,我想知道关于这一点的具体英语说法.
3.John was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open.这句话中为什么最后的词用open呢?to open为什么不能用?

答案

1,awoke to sth因什么而醒,ringing of an electric bell是动名词短语做名词作用,你如果用awoke to the ring of an electric bell也可以.2,spoiled被宠坏了的,spoil就是宠,溺爱.3,keep sth open 让某物保持打开的状态...
