[名詞用法]“have?the?folly?to?do?sth/?of?doing?sth”的用法值得商榷

have the folly to do sth / of doing sth的用法值得商榷

I had the folly to trust such a man. 我真愚蠢，竟相信這樣的人?！　?/p>

= I had the folly of trusting such a man.　　

筆者認(rèn)為句中 folly 的用法有兩點(diǎn)值得商榷：一是 have是否可以與folly搭配？二是have the folly是否可以接 to do sth或of doing sth作后置定語？　　

1. have是否可以與folly搭配？

通過以上例證可知，have幾乎不與the folly搭配?！?/p>
