答案:
4 I: a0 R# J" z6 A 1.把frightened改为frightening。frightened是“受到惊吓的”,表明心理状态,而frightening表示“令人害怕的”,表示事物性质。' f! L8 G9 y7 p! c- y6 w9 V2 O2 a
2.把appear改为disappear。“当你住在摩天大厦的三十层里”,可以推测这里要表达的是归属感的消失,而不是产生归属感。
$ D# L0 @* `7 i 3.把Strange改为Strangely。Strangely enough,是固定短语,经常用作插入语,意思是“说也奇怪,最奇怪的是”。
; R' E1 \: k3 R4 @5 E5 S 4.在say前面加上don’t。此处说的是,现在住在同一层楼的人甚至见面都不打招呼。! B: L. g" I- U* L
5.把keep改为keeps。in that 引导的句子主语应该是 a sense,故谓语应为单数。本句的意思是,农村生活与这种隔绝孤立的生活不同,因为一种归属感把小村里的居民联系在一起。
, H5 V4 f2 m7 x* L7 U 6.把so 改为but/yet。上文提到了乡村生活的好处,下文是转折,要用but或者yet。, h1 k( i r$ }. i" F

" n2 s, Y8 r1 L: G8 b+ z 8.把peaceful改为peace。of 后面不应该用形容词,所以应该改为peace。这里需要注意的是quiet既是名词又是形容词,不要被迷惑。) C R+ d6 O) s* d, U+ g8 U
9.把their改为its。此处的代词应该指代上文的 the city。2 j7 x' o( D3 d. e5 A, v' T
10.删除leaving后面的for,或者把for改为from。leave表示“离开某地”,而leave for表示“离开某地去另外一个地方”,for后面接的是目的地。本句说的是离开城市,搬到乡村,所以for是多余的。 |
