Question

Eager to have a history book,I searched several bookstores for it .请问eager to 这样用法对吗?

Answer 1

eager to 的用法有点问题.应该是Be eager to sth.
改为
Being eager to have a history book,I searched several bookstores for it
eager的用法与搭配
表示“热切的”、“渴望的”,注意以下结构：
1.表示渴望得到某物,后接介词 for,after,about 等.如：
We are all eager for [after] knowledge.我们都求知心切.
He is eager for [after,about] success.他渴望成功.
【注】以上三个介词中,以介词 for 最为普通.
2.表示渴望做某事,后接不定式.如：
He is eager to go abroad.他渴望出国.
She is eager to see her parents.她渴望见到她父母.
【注】有时不定式前可以有 for sb.如：
He’s eager for her to go with him.他渴望她同他一起去.
3.有时可后接 that 从句,此时从句谓语一般都用“should＋动词原形”这样的虚拟语气.如：
He’s eager that they (should) come to see him.他很希望他们来看他.
上面也可改成：
He is eager for them to come to see him.
