starve for与be starved of的区别

starve for=be starved of此类题的解题思路最好是先分析一下句子成分,看作什么句子成分,若作谓语,则用动词的对应时态.但若不是,则应用其相应的非谓语动词形式.此处其实是作状语,故不能用starve for（作谓语）,而应用其非谓语动词形式starved of （也可理解成-ed形容词作状语）.类似的如：Faced with difficulty,we should be confident.该句中的Faced 是不能用Facing 或Face.常见有类似用法的词还有：be located in/at（坐落于……）,be aimed at（以……为目标）,be prepared for（为……做准备）,be lost in（陷入……）,be absorbed in(专心于……),be dressed in（穿着……）,be based on （以……为基础）,sb be caught in sth(遇上……)等.

因为句型starve sb. of sth .类似的短语有remind sb.of sth;suspect sb. of sth.;convince sb of sth;
accuse sb of sth等。此句的意思是：Because he was starved of money,he had to do a part-time job.
而be starving for=be dying for 是“渴望得到某物”之意。

b~因为of表示他饥饿的原因，for表示他为了达到什么目的而饥饿~
