we look forward to delivery of the goods in the fourth quarter

题目

we look forward to delivery of the goods in the fourth quarter
与we look forward to delivering the goods in the fourth quarter的区别,为什么不能用delivering呢?两个不是都可以么?

答案

因为第一句中look forward to of the goods 中间空格的地方后面连接的是介词of,所以这里只能以名词形式出现.而下面的那一句则可以用look forward to doing sth的形式来表现,因为后面连接的是doing的对象.
希望这个答案能够帮到你.
