Question

After years of hard work ,the writer finally had his book published ____ with farming methods .(deal)为什么不可以用to deal?

Answer 1

答案:dealing
因为这是现在分词作定语修饰his book .为了让have sth.done 结构完整,因此把定语与其修饰的名词分开了,但并不影响理解.
to deal是不定式,用在这儿,要么可作目的状语,要么作结状,但两者都不恰当,因此不能用to deal.
句意:经过多年的辛苦创作之后,作家终于让那本涉及农耕方法的书出版了.
