英文語法的問題

I have gained quite a lot of experience ( from / at / in / among ) the job.
應該用哪一個?

You would just have to look up the dictionary for the verb "gain".

No surprise, what you get is "gain (something) from / by", for example, in Oxford Dictionary.

So, the answer is:

I have gained quite a lot of experience [ from ] the job.

解釋

"experience" is only the object of "gain". Therefore, for the appropriate preposition which leads an adverbial phrase modifying the verb, you have to refer to the verb for its collocation.

例
Learning is a process of transferring knowledge and "experience" (from the teachers) to the students.

There are some prepositions collocating with "experience", especially in sentences with linking verbs "be" or "have".

Those prepositional phrases are adjectival, modifying the noun "experience".

例 (Yahoo dictionary):

1. (in) Karl has considerable experience in modern methods of diagnosis.

This was my first experience of living with other people.

3. [for]
Failing an exam was a new experience for me.

Yes, it really depends on which dictionary we are looking it up.

gain something from something
to earn or achieve something from something.
e.g. I hope you gain something worthwhile from all this.
e.g. I know I will gain some valuable experience from this job.

You need a lot of experience in this job. (what's that mean?)

Maybe you meant:
You need to have a lot of experience for this job.

2014-08-08 08:11:02 補充：
what's that mean? ===> what does that mean?

you need a lot of experience in this job 您需要很多在這份工作上的經驗
(in 在…上的, 在…方面)
e.g. experience in modern methods of diagnosis 在現代診斷方法方面的經驗

you need to have a lot of experience for this job 您必須有很多經驗做份這項工作
(for 對…來說, 就…而言)

I think both "at that job" and "from the job" are correct

gain at that job 在那工作崗位上獲得 (at 在…上)
gain from the job 從工作中獲得 (from 從…中)

any comment?

"用什麼 preposition 要看 experience 後面的 adverbial phrase"

完全同意!

但 我認為 adjectival phrase 就應該有一定規則。當然亦要看意思!

例
Karl has considerable experience "in" modern methods of diagnosis.
This was my first experience "of" living with other people.

回 意見002:

不好意思,我不太明白你的意思,

要看 experience 前面使用什麼 verb, 與 experience 後面的 noun 出現在什麼 phrase

You need a lot of experience in this job.
He has some experience in the computer industry.
He has no experience of this type of work.
She has some experience of working with kids.

Having said that,

I have gained quite a lot of experience at the job.

Compare:
“She gained a lot of experience at that job.”
~ from Merriam-Webster Dictionary online
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/experience Example of experience: 第三句子
其他有 “at the job” 這個 phrase 的例子

“But she left the space center last year, after more than eight years at the job.”
~ from npr.org

“He was an old hand at the job.”

You need a lot of experience in this job.
~ from Oxford ESL Dictionary

用什麼 preposition 要看 experience 後面的 adverbial phrase

我相信你絕對知道可以否決 at 和 among。

餘下的選擇是 in 和 from。
其實兩者也有人用。
