object

1.注意下面第一句里用in，第二句里用of：

• My object in writing this book is to teach English usage.
• The object of writing this book is to teach English usage.

第一句改作The object of my writing this book is to teach English usage也可以，但不很自然。

2.with the object of...ing主要是公文用语。注意用with，不用for。

3.object用作“反对”解是不及物动词，后面接to。例如：I object to it.那to的宾语往往是动名词。例如：I object to doing it. I object to do it不算正当。

4.object that...是“提出…作为反对的理由”，不是“反对…”，如He objected that I was not careful enough是“他因为我不够小心而提出反对”。“我反对付他钱”不可说I object that I pay him，该改作I object to paying him。“他的母亲反对他在晚上出去”不可说His mother objected that he went out at night，该改作His mother objected to his going out at night。但可以说His mother objected that it was not good for him to go out at night。
