大家来找错之大学专业八级的改错练习9
When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked alady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the __1__way they occupied the space around them—for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of others. Such people never __2__bump into other people.However, a second person thought that this was more a question of civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, __3__it he said was quite well-known, about an American who had been invited __4__to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East. The American __5__hasn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had __6__known about American food, he might have behaved better. __7__Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that __8__it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, __9__said of nothing, but immediately copied the action of his guest. __10__And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.
答案如下:
1将on改为by。“by the way”作“根据……方式”讲。
2 将unaware改为aware.根据下文中的“Such a person never bump into other people”判断,这种人不会“目中无人”。
3 将as改为than.“more + adj/of + n + than”是固定搭配。
4 将it改为which.which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语,需要注意的是,在从句中he said是插入语。
5 将at改为in.名词the country前要用介词in。
6 将hasn’t改为hadn’t.根据上下文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完成时。
7 将American改为Arab。根据上文,我们可以看出,这里讲述的是赴“阿拉伯”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事,而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事。
8 将as 改为like.介词as意思为“作为”,like意思为“像”。
9 将falls改为fell.这里要使用一般过去时。
10 将第一个of删掉。say作为及物动词,后面可直接跟名词作宾语。
