例题: He took a second driving test and finally ________. A. succeeded in passing it B. succeeded in it C. succeeded to through D. succeeded to pass it. succeed in + doing sth = 成功做成某事 succeed to ...: 继承(王位等) succeed sb: 继承 succeed with sth:在某方面获得成功 succeed,success,successful的区别和用法 一、succeed的用法 ◆他的计划成功了。 误:His plan was succeeded. 正:His plan succeeded. 析:succeed 表示“成功”,是不及物动词,因此不能用于被动语态。 ◆他终于把那个问题解决了。 误:At last he succeeded to solve the problem. 正:At last he succeeded in solving the problem. 析:表示做某事做成功了,succeed 后通常不接不定式,而接 in doing 又如:He succeeded in getting the job.(他谋到了那份工作), sth。 She succeeded in (passing) the exam.(她考试及格了)。 注:有时此结构可用作反语,如:I tried to clean the watch, but only succeeded in breaking it. (我想把表弄干净,结果却弄坏了)。 ◆继邱吉尔出任首相的是谁 误:Who succeeded after Churchill as Prime Minister 正:Who succeeded Churchill as Prime Minister 析:succeed 表示“接替(某人)”,是及物动词,其后无需用介词 after。 但它若表示“继承(职位、头衔、财产等)”,则是不及物的,后跟宾语时带介词 to(此时也不用 after), 如:She succeeded to the mayoralty.(她继任市长职位), 比较:She succeeded him to the mayoralty.(她接替他担任市长)。 二、success的用法 ◆失败是成功之母。 误:Failure is the mother of successes. 正:Failure is the mother of success. 析:success 表示抽象意义的“成功”,是不可数的;表示具体意 义的“成功的人或事”, 则是可数的。 比较:Gig success does not usually occur early.(大器晚成), His new book was a great success.(他新出版的书获得了巨大成功)。 再比较:He has had great success in business.(他事业上很成功), He was a great success in business.(他事业上很成功)。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/1ddbc48f59fafab069dc5022aaea998fcd2240f7.html
