succeed
1.succeed后面接in和动名词，不接不定式，如可以说I hope he will succeed in solving the problem，不可说I hope he will succeed to solve the problem。
succeed ...ing不一定指有意做的事，也不一定指好的事。例如：
- He tried to win us over to his side, but succeeded in helping us to see through his trick.
- She somehow succeeded in giving him the impression that he was in her way（妨碍她）.
2.说“继续”用succeed或succeed to都可以。例如：
- Summer succeeds (to) spring.
- Mrs Gibbon has succeeded (to) Miss Newman as our teacher of music.
在被动语态里习惯不用to，如Miss Newman has been succeeded by Mrs Gibbon as our teacher of music里没有to。
说承继（财产、职位等）在现代英语里用succeed to，不用succeed。例如：Who will succeed to his property upon his death? 和Upon the death of Dr Carlyle, Mr Nelson succeeded to the editorship. 可以说Mr Nelson succeeded Dr Carlyle to the editorship。
