请问这个句型里除了have difficulty (in) doing…外这里的 trouble / difficulty 可以理解成不可数,所以可以不用加不定冠词 a 或变复数,那有 have problem (in) doing...吗?
查了查有人说可以,有人说该加 a 或变复数 problems。我想问的是有这个用法吗?在这里 problem 前要加 a 或变复数 problems 吗?谢谢各位老师的解答。
陈老师:
▲张老师说得对,最常见的用法可能是 have problems (in)doing sth。但如果不从常用性来考虑,以下表达都是对的:
have problem (in) doing sth(problem 为不可数名词,相当于 difficulty)
have little problem (in) doing sth(problem 为不可数名词,相当于difficulty)
have no problem (in) doing sth(problem 可视为可数或不可数名词)
have a problem (in) doing sth(problem 为可数名词)
have problems (in) doing sth(problem 为可数名词)
▲查了一下手头的词典以及平时收集的资料,罗列以下例句供参考:
We have little problem (in) finding where they are. 我们要找到他们在哪里没多大困难。(陆谷孙《英汉大词典》)

谢谢陈老师的耐心解答和详细的例句!
还有还是想再次谢谢张老师的回答。
只能采纳一个的,所以我就只好选解释更详细的陈老师了。因为我看了例句之后觉得我对这个知识点的理解更加有理有据了。
谢谢各位老师百忙中抽空解答!
