关于Battle
With the national college entrance examination drawing near, they spend every waking hour battling (斗争) with books, pens and test papers. 这句话中battling可以用吗？ battle不是就是个名词
吗？ 请专业人士回答下，谢谢！
参考答案:牛津高阶字典中查到 battle有动词用法,如they battled with windand the waves.他们与风浪搏斗.progress is slow butwe keep battling on.进展虽慢,但我们在继续奋斗.
由此可知battling with books....也是正确的
