succeed后可接不定式或動名詞嗎?

succeed后接不定式還是動名詞？請看題：

He succeeded __________ the job.

A. to get                        B. getting                      C. in getting                    D. of getting

此題應選C。表示做某事成功，succeed 后既不能接不定式也不能接動名詞，而應接in (doing)。如：

We succeeded in performing the task. 我們成功地完成了任務。

I didn’t succeed in my first lecture. 我第一次演講沒有成功。

He succeeded in (winning) the first prize. 他成功地獲得了一等獎。

類似地，以下動詞在通常情況下，其后既不接不定式也不接動名詞。若意義上需要接動詞，要用“介詞+動名詞”：

insist on 堅持                  persist in 堅持，繼續

dream of 夢想                              concentrate on 專心于

他堅持要同我們一起去。

正：He insisted on going with us.

誤：He insisted going with us.

誤：He insisted to go with us.

他夢想當科學家。

正：He dreamed of becoming a scientist.

誤：He dreamed becoming a scientist.

誤：He dreamed to become a scientist.

他聚精會神地研究計劃。

正：He concentrated on studying the plan.

誤：He concentrated studying the plan.

誤：He concentrated to study the plan.
