请教：

Things are getting so nasty. You will, you know that the other side is they are just throwing anything out. Anything, it’s like hopefully it will stick. (Yeah) And there are some people that will believe it. So it’s important that everyone get out and vote. You can’t stay home this time.

 

这段话中加粗部分是什么意思呢？是不是有什么典故？如果没有，我暂时的理解是the other side （John McCain 阵营）用尽方法、不择手段（throwing anything out），希望能抓住voters，“stick”做 “v.
粘住, 粘贴” 解，好像有点牵强… so…求教了

请教是 confess to shooting 还是 confess shooting？

 

即confess to doing sth 的to可以省略吗？ 

查了几本纸质词典（朗3，牛4，柯林斯基础），没有找到省略to的例句。

 

标的基本都是：confess (to sth / to doing sth) to admit, especially formally or to the police, that you have done sth wrong or illegal

thanks:-)

原帖由 plato1983 于 2008-11-15 11:05 发表 我觉得是confess to shooting,没查到confess doing. confessed to shooting中to音应该被前面的D音吞了，所以听起来和confessed  shooting没啥差别！

 

 

谢谢plato MM :-)

 

后来北星丫头 查她的柯林斯词典 发现有to 没to 意思还不一样，

有to  crime类
没to  sin 宗教类

 

不过对此偶还是心存怀疑，crime和sin本来就难区别，而且还没看过这样的例子。

讨论许久，没结果……   只能说 语言本来就难以 限制在条条框框中。

像刚看到一句话“many cases of learner language that are deemed erroneous by nativespeakers, not because they do not say that, but because they have been told no one should."   

可见nativespeakers 也说不出个所以然来，不过他们用错词甚至自创词 不算错（叫新奇），我们学习者可没这个福气   还是谨慎为好。。。

 

 

 ps：若那个有to没to分类成立的话，就更加是 confess to shooting 了，shooting明显是crime。

偶也常常出现 非粗体的copy到这里就变粗体了。看看在Html 代码打上勾 还会不会这样。

 

顺便留名

打上勾后好像是所见所得，只是每次都要点 高级回复，有点麻烦。

BTW, 这两天怎么都没SSS? 一般是几天出一次的呢？

1. 最后一句话：

so doing some handyman work up there, the challenge is they can't let any of them float away, any of those screw.

感觉标蓝处有误，请教。

 

2. Meanwhile, we / talk about the president and he will make a speech at Notre Dame, but he is not the only Obama on the graduation guest list,

 

标蓝处听得很像him making, 而且语法也说得通，him 作make 的宾语。那么meanwhile 在这里是否类似while？“当我们谈论……时，……”

 

 

thanks a lot!
