SAT句子改错题
John believes that plants respond to human attention,
which causes his talking to his African violets every
night.
(A) attention,which causes his talking
(B) attention and talking is what is done
(C) attention and his talks
(D) attention; for this reason has been his talking
(E) attention; he therefore talks
可是原句哪里不对呢?his talking是语法错误么?用一个非限定性定语从句不是更好么?
我来了美国这么多年体会到有很多方法可以把英语表达成相同的意思,但是要寻求简单且准确的表达方法.语法上这句话错在从句没有动词,只有两个“大名词”--causes his talking,his African violets every
night.和to.如果加上chatter,rattle表示他不停讲话就可以.
还有其他的选项都是兜大圈B&E,而C就是使用连词错误,and 表示不了两句话的联系.所以E就是答案吧.
像这种兜大圈的用词方法在维基百科不少见.但在交谈中使用这样的方法往往要讲更多才能把话讲通.
