看绝望的主妇学高频短语:Come close to do/doing sth

Come close todo/to doing sth: 1、to almost do something:I tell you, I was so mad I came close to hitting her 2、to be almost as good as someone or something else: It’s not as good as his last movie, but it comes pretty close.

中文释义：“come close to doing” 是一个常用句式结构,用来表达 “差一点就做”、”接近做” 的意思。特别要注意的地方是这里并不使用不定式 to do。这里的 to 是介词,后面的 doing 是动名词,可以替代别的动词的动名词形态。例句：He came close to passing the exam.（他差点考试及格. ）另外引申一个和“close”有关的短语“close to home”字面看的确有“离家很近”的意思，但在更多的场景too close to home是说事情触及痛处，形容让人切身体会的问题/事情。
