說法話茬第86期:eager to還是eager for

【錯誤表達】

He is eager to his parents to meet his girlfriend.

【講解辨析】

釋義：他盼望他的父母去見他的女友。

辨析：用eager表示“盼望，想得到”這個意思解時，其結構爲eager for，這是這個形容詞短語的固定搭配。這個句子錯誤所在就是介詞用錯了。

【正確表達】

He is eager for his parents to meet his girlfriend.

【舉一反三】

He was eager for an opportunity to promote in his company.

他渴望在公司有競爭的機會。
