而且字典给的是Will I need to have an operation?请问do operation是固定搭配吗?
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. Doctors spent several hours doing __3__ (operate) for her and the boy accompanied her at the bedside all the time.
恐怕答案有误,应该填写 the operation,意思是 “做这个手术”。
【解析】
operation当“手术”讲是具体名词,属于可数的。如果泛指一次手术,应该用 an operation;泛指几个或几次手术,应该用operations。如果特指某次手术,需要加定冠词 the。
本句的 operation 是针对上文提到的 her,那么医生做的是一次特定的手术,属于特指范畴。
以下是经常用到固定搭配:
给某人动手术 perform an operation on sb.
接受手术 undergo an operation 或 have an operation
