That woman spends a lot of time cooking for and looking afte

六星级句子自有六星级的道理.
That woman spends a lot of time cooking for and looking after babies.
☆首先,是spend的用法：
spend表示"花费(时间、金钱等)做某事",则常用句型spend some money / some time (in) doing sth.,此时第二个动词要用动词-ing形式,介词in可以省略.所以句子里并列的动词cook和look都用了-ing形式.
☆其次是不及物动词的搭配：
cook和look有一个共同的宾语babies,但两个动词用作不及物时,如果要加宾语,后面需要带一个介词,即动词+介词+名词.所以才出现了cook for 和look after.
cook for sb,为某人做饭
look after sb,照顾某人
☆这个句子可以分成两个句子：That woman spends a lot of time cooking for babies. 和That woman spends a lot of time looking after babies.为了简洁就合成一句了.
☆所以句子可翻译成：
那个妇女花费大量时间为宝宝们做饭,并照顾他们.
Oh,yeah.
