今日短語(yǔ)

搭配 “prove difficult” 的意思是 “一件事做起來(lái)很困難”。在完成一項(xiàng)任務(wù)的過(guò)程中，當(dāng)我們意識(shí)到事情比原本想像得要更加復(fù)雜、困難的時(shí)候，就可以使用 “something proves difficult” 這個(gè)表達(dá)。

在 “prove” 和 “difficult” 的中間也可以加表程度的修飾詞語(yǔ)，比如：something proves more difficult than… 某件事做起來(lái)要比…更難。

“Prove difficult” 的后面也可以加不定式結(jié)構(gòu)，變成 “prove difficult to do something”，用來(lái)談?wù)?“一件具體的事情實(shí)際做起來(lái)非常困難”。
