質問: 留学を決心した上は、**仕事を頑張って**留学の代金を貯金すべきだ。 1. 頑張って is Intransitive verb so why would it be related to 仕事? I thought it had to be 仕事に not 仕事を. 2. If the verb of 仕事を is not 頑張って , then where is its verb in the sentence (i don't think it's すべき nor だ)?
回答: 頑張る is an intransitive verb, but it can also be used as a transitive verb, at least in current Japanese. (I think this is a rather new usage.) According to 明鏡国語辞典: > > がんばる【頑張る】 > > (語法)他動詞としても使う。「英語の勉強**をがんばって**一番になったこともある」 > > >
