in search of...是表目的吗

来源:www.fjydqs.com 2025-01-13

He was saved by Dorothy in a great field, and joined Dorothy to go tothe Wizard in search of brains.

这句中加粗的地方为何用介词 in,一般表目的不都是用 for 的吗?麻烦高手给指点一下,不胜感激。

He was saved byDorothy in a great field, and joined Dorothy to go to the Wizard in searchof brains.

1. in searchof brains,整个介词词组可以看作句子的目的。但 in search of 是“词组介词”,它本身不表示目的,而是“处于对......探寻之中”。这种词组介词,英语中有不少。

2.  for 表示目的,表示“为了得到;为了获得”,不含探寻之意,不是“探寻过程”,词义不同,不可替换。
