人教必修二期末总复习重点短语
1. in search of寻找
I looked everywhere in search of my lost pen.
我四处寻找我丢失的钢笔。
用法点拨:in search of短语中,如果search前有物主代词或者其他成分修饰时,我们经常用in one’s search for的形式。in search of 与search for 后直接跟所寻找的对象或目标。
【易混辨析】
search/search for/search...for/in search of
search表示“搜索;搜寻;调查”。search sb.意为“搜某人身”;search sp.意为“在某地搜查”(意图找到某东西)。
search for意为“寻找”,指搜寻某个特定的目标,相当于look for。
search...for意为“搜查某人或某地以寻找某物”。
in search of介词短语,意为“寻找”,后接寻找的目标或对象。
