“sb spend in doing sth” 用法详解

什么是 “sb spend in doing sth”？

在英语中，动词 spend 常用于表示“花费（时间或金钱）”。其常见结构为：

• sb spend time/money (in) doing something
• sb spend time/money on something

其中，“in” 是可省略的。因此，He spends two hours (in) reading. 和 He spends two hours on reading. 都是正确的。

结构说明

基本句型：

• 主语 + spend + 时间/金钱 + (in) + 动词-ing 形式

示例：

1. She spent an hour (in) cleaning the room.
2. They spent a lot of money (in) traveling around Europe.
3. I don’t want to spend too much time (in) watching TV.

常见误区

• ❌ 错误：He spends time to do homework.
  ✅ 正确：He spends time (in) doing homework.
• ❌ 错误：She spent money for buying a car.
  ✅ 正确：She spent money (in) buying a car. 或 She spent money on a car.

小结

记住：spend 后接动名词（-ing 形式），而不是不定式（to do）。介词 in 可以省略，不影响句意。
