The first step is to go exploring, if you’re out ofyour comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the firsttime. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying differentfoods and talking to strangers.
上面的句子摘自2021全国卷Ⅰ(乙卷)阅读理解七选五。想请老师说说 go exploring 的使用方法。我了解,英语一般可说 go swimming, goskating, go shopping, go fishing 等,但这里用 go exploring 感觉有点别扭。请问 go doing 这种使用方法有没限制?
为何你会感到别扭呢?美国当代英语语料库(COCA)中有不少如此的例句,如:
Shall we go exploring?
I can't wait to go exploring!
Henry has no timeto go exploring.
My brothers and Iloved to go exploring.
…
▲动词go之后所接的V-ing一般是表示休闲、娱乐、购物、运动、野外活动之类的动词。
再给几个与go exploring类似的野外活动的例句:
We would go hiking together.大家将一块去徒步旅游。
Shall we go camping next year? 明年大家去野营怎么样?
He likes to go climbing most weekends.在多数周末他都爱去登山。
