devote vt.奉獻; (給),把…專用(于) 把…奉獻; 過去式:devoted 現在分詞:devoting 過去分詞:devoted 第三人稱單數:devotes [例句]I would devote my myself to the public. 我會把自己奉獻給公眾. 錯題分析: All her time _______ experiments, she has no time for sports. A. devoted to do B. devoted to doing C. devoting to doing D. is devoted to doing 【賞析】此題最佳答案為B。現分析如下: (1) devote 意為“致力于,獻身于”,主要用于 devote…to…或be devoted to,其中的to 是介詞,不是不定式符號,故后接動詞時要用動名詞,不用不定式。 (2) 選A錯誤:若將 do 改為 doing 則可以。 (3) 選B正確:all her time devoted to doing experiments為獨立主格結構,用作狀語。 (4) 選C錯誤:因為all her time 與 devote 為被動關系,故應將devoting改為devoted。 (5) 選D錯誤:若單獨看 All her time is devoted to doing experiments,此句并沒有錯,但問題是逗號前后兩個簡單句沒有必要的連接方式,所以從整體上看仍不對,假若在后一句的句首加上and或so,則可選D,或將D中的is 改為 being也可以。 關于devote的用法: devote to把...獻給; devote oneself to (doing) sth. 致力于,獻身于 句型:devote one's time/life/energy to (doing) sth
