问个英语问题
Although he wil always be known for his invention of the telephong,he was in truth a continuing searcher after practical solutions to improve the quality of everybody's life.
请问这句中的after是什么意思?"after practical solutions to improve the quality of everybody's life"该怎么理解?
after能做动词吗?

答案和解析
after在这时是追寻的意思,after...life应该是修饰continuing searcher的,后半句可译为,他实际上是一个不断寻求可行的解决方法以提高人们生活质量的探索者.After 的这种用法,还有例子:He's a man after money.他是个拜金的人.This position is not the right one after.这个职位不是个很好的选择.
严格地说after不能做动词用.但真正在口语中,很多词可以做动词用.比如Don't darling me,就译做“别叫我darling”.当然,这是完全不同的用法了.在这种用法里,after之前一部分省略了一分部,以我给你的两个句子为例,全句分别为:He's a man who runs after money.This position is not the right one to pursue after.
