问题: 英语句子解释

He wants to read some books to amuse himself with.这句话为什么不能去掉“with”?

解答:

amuse的意思是“给...提供娱乐,消遣”,后面常用with表示使用的消遣工具,如书籍、玩具等。

He wants to read some books to amuse himself with.这里的动词不定式是book的定语,with后面应该接的是前面的book,由于用来作定语,with就要把宾语去掉,否则就重复了。

请参考以下句子:
It was too rainy to play outside, so she amused herself with a book.
雨大,不适合在外面玩,所以她看书消遣。
