The history of writing is very old,____.
A but not older than the language
B but it certainly isn’t so old as the language
C though not so old as language itself
D though language itself is even older
为什么选C?
恕我愚昧,
选择的首要原则,是选最佳选项
考查but和though的用法差别,but强调转折后的内容,though(even though,although)则强调转折前的内容,例如:
She is good at singing,but not so good at dancing.
强调不擅长跳舞
She is good at singing ,though not so good at dancing.强调唱歌好(虽然跳舞不好,但没关系)
另外,though 还有补充说明的意思,所以它引出的内容并不是重点.
这道题意思是
写作的历史很悠久,虽然不及语言本身悠久.
本句主体为讲解写作的历史,而看D项,主语换成了language,侧重点变了,而且违背了英语中主从前后一致的重要原则.
就是这样,有什么不懂的,你再问.
