A bit of advise for those about to retire這句話沒有錯(cuò),注意其中的 about 不是介詞, 而是副詞,those about to retire 在此可視為 those who are about to retire(即將要退休的人)之省略。be about to do sth為英語中的慣用句式,意思是“將要做某事”“即將要做某事”。又如:
They are just about to leave. 他們馬上就要離開了。
We are about to start, when it rained. 我們正要開始,就下雨了。
Look! The race is about to start. 看,比賽快要開始了!
Sit down, everyone. The film is about to start. 大家坐好,電影馬上就要開發(fā)始了。
She was about to go to bed when the doorbell rang. 她正要上床睡覺,這時(shí)門鈴響了起來。 回復(fù)時(shí)間:
