誤：we had no trouble to find his office.
2.have trouble with 表示“有……毛病”、“同……鬧糾紛”。
如：He is having trouble with teeth. 他正牙痛。
The man often has trouble with his wife. 這個人經(jīng)常同他的妻子鬧矛盾。
3.get into trouble 意為“陷入困境”、“引起指責(zé)”。
如：He’s always getting into trouble (with the teacher). 他老闖禍(挨老師的罵)。
4.be in trouble 意為“處于不幸(苦惱，困境)之中”。
如：Please telephone us when you are in trouble. 有困難給我們來電話。
5.the trouble is (that)……意為“麻煩是……”、“困難在于……”。
