五、形容詞作介詞賓語

Her pronunciation is far from perfect. 她的語音遠不是完美的。

In short, we must be prepared. 總而言之，我們要有準備。

Things have gone from bad to worse. 事情越來越糟。

He regarded the situation as (being) serious. 他認為形勢嚴重。

His work is far from (being) satisfactory.  他的工作絲毫不令人滿意。

2. 有些“介詞+形容詞”的結構已構成固定搭配(也有的詞典認為此結構中的形容詞為名詞)：

in full 全部地，全面地，無省略地         in private 私下地，秘密地

in particular 特別地                                in general 一般地，通常地，概括地

in brief 簡言之                                      in short 總之，簡言之

in vain 徒然地，徒勞無益地                  for fee 免費地，無償地

for certain 肯定地，確切地                    for sure 肯定地，確切地

for short 為了簡短，簡稱                      at large 自由自在地，逍遙法外

by far …得多，最最
