牛津高階的一個例句語法錯誤

geoffreypang

There's no point complaining now—we're leaving tomorrow in any case.
point後面缺少介詞in
應改為:There's no point in complaining now—we're leaving tomorrow in any case.

非正式文体或语境里，介词in是可以省略的。
- Y+ ^6 x0 ~% Z/ s+ T# S* `/ lThere is no point (in) getting into a panic about the exams.
There is no use (in) complaining.

There's no point doing something
* y9 q+ m" [0 ?# @两种表达都可以接受
. n& f) n  d$ s) H, I
另外类似的情况还有如下，difficulty后面的in也是可加可不加
African countries have been experiencing difficulties (in) curbing the Ebola virus, which is now ripping through the continent, and has claimed thousands of lives.
$ s7 R. j* Z1 @# E1 P

省略用法啦  in doing sth 前面的 in 一般都是省略的  ，这种大部头字典 都已经经过这么多版了  不会有语法错误了
