succeed的用法：

　　他的計劃成功了。

　　誤：His plan was succeeded.

　　正：His plan succeeded.

　　析：succeed 表示“成功”，是不及物動詞，因此不能用于被動語態(tài)。

　　他終于把那個問題解決了。

　　誤：At last he succeeded to solve the problem.

　　正：At last he succeeded in solving the problem.

　　析：表示做某事做成功了，succeed 后通常不接不定式，而接 in doing sth。

　　失敗是成功之母。

　　誤：Failure is the mother of successes.
