take后面常跟双宾语,常见用法有以下几种:
(1) It takes sb.+时间+to do sth.做某事花了某人多少时间.
例:It took them three years to build this road.他们用了三年时间修完了这条路.
(2)doing sth.takes sb.+时间,做某事花了某人多少时间.
例:Repairing this car took him the whole afternoon.他花了一下午修车.
所以用take不是很好.用cost 好些
cost的主语必须是某物.
spend … on sth./in doing sth.的主语必须是人.
pay … for 的主语也是人.
It takes + sb.+ 时间(或钱)to do sth.的主语则必须是形式主语It.
动词cost的常用用法是sth.cost (sb.) some money.
如:The dictionary cost me £ 20.
