引言
在英语学习中,动词 proceed 常与不同介词或结构搭配,其中最常见的是 proceed with 和 proceed to doing。 虽然两者都表示“继续做某事”,但它们在语法结构和语义上存在细微差别。本文将通过定义、例句和使用场景,帮你彻底掌握这两个表达。
1. Proceed with + 名词/动名词
结构: proceed with + 名词 或 动名词(-ing)
表示“继续进行某项已开始的活动或计划”,强调动作的延续性,通常用于正式或书面语境。
• The meeting will proceed with the agenda as scheduled.
• She decided to proceed with applying for the scholarship.
• After the interruption, they proceeded with the experiment.
• She decided to proceed with applying for the scholarship.
• After the interruption, they proceeded with the experiment.
2. Proceed to + 动词原形(to do)
注意: 实际上,proceed to 后面接的是 动词原形(即不定式),而不是 “doing”。 正确结构是:proceed to do something。
这个结构表示“接着做下一件事”,强调从一个动作过渡到另一个新动作,常带有“接下来”的意味。
• He finished his speech and proceeded to answer questions.
• After signing the contract, they proceeded to discuss the next steps.
• She opened the door and proceeded to walk straight in.
• After signing the contract, they proceeded to discuss the next steps.
• She opened the door and proceeded to walk straight in.
❗ 常见误区:很多人误说 “proceed to doing”,这是不标准的。标准英语中应使用 proceed to do。
