各位好,請教一下
在牛津辭典看到這樣的解釋:
report
verb
[transitive, intransitive] to give people information about something that
you have heard, seen, done, etc.
The company is expected to report record profits this year.
The committee will report on its research next month.

想請教,既然report可以當及物動詞,也可以當不及物動詞,那麼以下兩句有何差別呢?
The committee will report on its research next month.
The committee will report its research next month.

你問到的都是「有這樣子的用法/意思」(是所有可能的用法/意思之一) -- 都不是「單一絕對」(比如你查的韋氏高階elaborate -- 至少在韋氏自己的corpus裡頭那「例句」是那樣子的用法/意思,但是這不表示其它用法/意思不存在或是"錯")"report" vs "report on": 除了 jut... 的回答外,「字面上」的 on 也是一個線索 -- 你自己字典查 on
