Question

Last October,the farmers needed help with the apple harvest.

Answer 1

1. help sb with sth=help sb (to) do sth

help...with...是固定短语,但help是动词,而不是名词.

with可以像你说得那样翻译.

注意:这个短语在with与后面的名词间一般会加上冠词或形容词性物主代词这样的限定词.

如: Can you help me (to) learn English?

=Can you help me with my English?

2. APPLE HARVEST应该解释为"苹果的收获",此处的harvest是个名词,如果意译为"苹果的采摘(工作)"更好.
