正确形式:make a contribution to
首先需要指出的是,标准英语中通常使用的是 “make a contribution to”(单数)或 “make contributions to”(复数),而不是 “makecontributionto” 这种连写形式。
其中,“contribution” 是名词,意为“贡献”,而 “to” 是介词,后面接名词、代词或动名词(即 V-ing 形式)。
“to” 后可以接什么?
- 名词:如 society(社会)、science(科学)、charity(慈善)等。
例句:She made a significant contribution to medical research. - 代词:如 it, them 等(较少见,需上下文明确)。
例句:They made contributions to it. - 动名词(V-ing):表示对某项活动的贡献。
例句:He made a great contribution to improving education in rural areas.
常见错误提醒
❌ 错误:make contribution to(缺少冠词 “a”)
✅ 正确:make a contribution to
❌ 错误:make a contribution to do something(“to” 后不能接不定式)
✅ 正确:make a contribution to solving the problem
