He's taken the day off  !!!
Ruth	Can I speak to Blake, please ?
Allisa	I'm afraid he's taken the day off. Do you want to leave a message ?
Ruth	No, that's alright, I'll try and reach him on his cell phone.
Allisa	I have a feeling he might have turned it off.
Ruth	I'll give it a try anyway. Thanks.

I expected to take a couple of days off, but now I hope to do something every day to enriching my mind.

为啥用 ing 形式？ 不止一次看到了。

janezhu

当某种动作状态不是只希望一次完成，而是希望一直长期处在持续的时候
就可以在to后面的动词后加ing

比如：I look forward to meeting you

look forward to doing 见过。
你的解释没听说过。

Or maybe my explanation is wrong. I just often note some writing" verb +to +verb+ing" such as in this way. I analyze the second verb's meaning in that situation and suppose it is a gerund.

Maybe "to+verb+ing"as a gerund  is only allowed by following some specific verbs such as "look forward" or something else. Honestly, I feel a lit bit confused so that I leave THIS PROBLEM for you and expect you to find a solution:)

你看见的那些都是固定的搭配， to 在这里是介词， 所以要跟名词性的东西。
如：
look forward to,
get down to,
devote oneself to
object to
lead to
give rise to
make contributions to
get used to
be subject to
due to
thank to
pay attention to
when it comes to
access to
......

偶做了点搜索工作，找到了这样的例子：
I can't get used to being single again
I admit to eating all the pies", etc.但是"I want to going" 是错的

在偶的例子里，"to enriching"的"to"相当于“in order to"按理来说应直接加动词原形，但考虑到这是长期希望达到的效果，所以大胆尝试加了"ing" 。我在这几天的一些例子里确实是这么不断大胆尝试了把。你很仔细，观察到了这个问题。

如在该同一案例中，偶将“to enriching"改成两种说法“for enriching"或“to enrich"。楚楚看行吗？

别闲偶像个老学究一样问些怪问题
老实说，偶的诗诗画画还是相当的....
