高级词组：have bother (in) doing sth用法讲解

用于have bother (in) doing sth，表示“做某事费劲”。用法和大家熟悉的have difficulty (in) doing sth，表示“做某事有困难”用法非常类似;如：

Did you have much bother (in) finding his office? 你是不是费了很大的劲才找到他的办公室？

We had quite a lot of bother (in) getting here because of the fog. 因为有雾，我们费了很大的劲才到达这儿。

但是大家要特别注意比较其他相关结构：

(2) 用于go to (all) the bother of doing sth，意为“费心做某事”“不怕麻烦做某事”。如：
