问题描述：
一个简单的语法...for they were as near as early man could get to writing
...for they were as near as early man could get to writing.
这个从句中get to writing怎么分析?
是get to doing (若是怎么翻译这个短语)
还是get to sth（那为什么要to）
或者是什么其他的结构
答
writing在这里是名词,著作、作品的意思.
get to 是动词,到达、接触到、开始、对…有影响.
这个to 是固定搭配,不是介词,是动词短语的一部分,get to 这个整体就是动词了.
所以
这里做get to sth做解释.
翻译成：开始写作
