题目

The match was cancelled because most of the members ________a match without a standard court.
A.objected to having B.were object to have
C.objected to have D.were object to having
为什么不选D?

答案

object作为动词,译为反对、抗议、拒绝,后面一般跟介词to,object to sb/sth,object to doing sth,如果后面是跟从句就不需要加介词.
例：I objected to such treatment.→I objected to being treated in such way.两者均是我抗议受到如此对待的意思.
I objected that he was too young to do so.我拒绝的理由是,他还太小不能这么做
object还可以做名词,译为宾语、目标、对象、物体
此句是说,由于大部分成员抗议这个比赛没有标准场地,这场比赛被推迟了.由于object只有名词和动词两个词性,根据句意,此处应使用其动词形式,即反对、抗议之意.故选A.D中,object在were后做表语,可见词性为形容词,而object无形容词用法,故这个选项是错误的.
