02 sb succeed in doing sth(succeed in doing sth 中 in可以省略嗎)

二、success的用法

◆失敗是成功之母。

誤：Failure is the mother of successes.

正：Failure is the mother of success.

析：success 表示抽象意義的“成功”，是不可數的；表示具體意 義的“成功的人或事”, 則是可數的。比較：Gig sucess does not usually occur early.(大器晚成)，His new book was a great success.(他新出版的書獲得了巨大成功)。再比較：He has had great success in business.(他事業上很成功)，He was a great success in business.(他事業上很成功)。

◆你說服她改變主意了嗎?

誤：Did you have any success to persuade her to change her mind?

正：Did you have any success in persuading her to change her mind?

析：have success in doing sth＝做某事有結果或效果。又如：What success did you have in finding a new job?(你想找份新工作結果如何?)

三、successful的用法

◆演出很成功。

誤：The performance was successive.

正：The performance was successful.

析：successful＝成功的；successive＝連續的，接連的，一連串的。如：We have won five successive games. (我們已連勝五場比賽)。

◆你想找所新房子你找到了嗎?

誤：Were you successful to find a new house?

正：Were you successful in finding a new house?

析：表示成功地做某事，be successful 后不能接不定式，而是接 in doing sth，又如：They were successful in launching a 買粉絲munication satellite. (他們成功地發射了一顆通訊衛 星)。
