这个倒是考倒我了,所以上网查了一下。
look forward to something的意思是anticipate something with interest
Look forward to is one of the many phrasal verbs in English in which an adverbial particle (forward) as well as a preposition (to) is combined with the stem verb to signify a particular meaning.
我们所期待的是一样特定的事物。
所以呢它可以是一个名词短语或者一个进行式的(-ing)的动词短语
What we are looking forward to can be exemplified as either as a noun phrase or as a verb-phrase with an -ing pattern
*补充一下,像我之前说的动词加了ing就会变成gerund。(也就是说加了ing而变成名词)
所以这里的meeting you是一件事,因此不是【to meet】而是to【meeting you】
以下是其他例子,
Jill says she's not looking forward to Jack's party next weekend.
I very much look forward to meeting you soon.
They're looking forward to joining their children in Australia
