take ship后应接for

有一读者问: 有这样一道选择题:

(1)They went by train_________Tianjin, and took ship_________France.

A. so far as, for B. as far as, to

C. to, so far as D. for, as far a

是否应选B,然而老师却说应选A,为什么?

你的老师是对的,应选A。第一空白应填as far as或so far as,但took ship则必须后接介词for+目的地,再如:

(2)What time are you leaving for Shanghai?

(3)I'll get on the near plane for London.
