n. (名词)

1. 很抱歉给你带来了这么多不便。

   误 It is a pity to give you so many troubles.

   正 It is a pity to give you so much trouble.

3. 你找到那栋房子有困难吗?

   误 Did you have much trouble to find the house?

   正 Did you have much trouble (in) finding the house?

   析 表示“做…有困难”“费事”时,可以说have trouble (in) v -ing,不能说have trouble to- v 。

v. (动词)

1. 很抱歉打扰您。

   误 I'm sorry to trouble with you.

   正 I'm sorry to trouble you.

   析 作“麻烦,打扰”解时, trouble后可直接接人作宾语,不需再接with。
