A:Q:....過期的常春藤雜誌的「全民文法通」 have trouble (in) + V-ing difficulty problems a hard time 然後雜誌說「in」在句子裡永遠不要寫出來 請問如果寫出來....
http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/difficulty如果找BBC和The New York Times的網站的話,have difficulty (無)/in finding/understanding 等等的樣本數很接近(這情況倒是和Longman的內容符合) 。
-> 1 ....(兩者都有)
http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/trouble_1用Google Books的Ngram Viewer來看的話可以看出這「少見」的趨勢(但是仍是有have trouble in Ving的例子,較少/很少而已)(Longman這類的for learners字典一般是將重點放在(現在的)常用用法上頭):
(COLLOCATIONS->第2個,沒有 in )
| 藍色: have trouble understanding 紅色: have trouble in understanding |
