Question

在《书虫》上看到一句话,有个疑问
He made phone calls about Peter Hobbs and he made phone calls about Tom Briggs.
这里是用“made phone calls about ”,但是我觉得不是要用“to"么,即“made phone calls to 怎么会用about?

Answer 1

他打电话找彼特霍博斯,然后又打电话打汤姆布里格斯.
很显然接电话的并不是Peter或Tom,而是另一个人,所以完整的语句中应该是He made phone calls to sb about .,这里的to sb被省略掉了.
