会计考友

　　control the talking pace and time 应该和to indicate a change of topic并列，作为conversational traffic signal 的定语，也要用动词不定式。To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to　women’s character and concerns. (In contrast by men　whose __1__ essence is to be strong, or effective, or competent.) It does not　need someone in the throes of feminist awareness to perceive that __2__ the way women are taught to be involved in beauty encourages __3__ narcissism, reinforces independence and immaturity. Everybody knows __4__ that. For it is “everybody”, a whole society, which has identified __5__ being feminine with caring about how one looks. Giving these __6__ stereotypes, it is no wonder that beauty enjoys, at best, a rather mixed　　reputation.
4 U! f, U0 h' U* r/ p4 Z　　It is not, of course, the desire to be beautiful is wrong but the __7__ obligation to be. Women are taught to see their bodies in parts, and to assess each part separately. Breasts, feet, hips, waistline, neck, __8__ eyes, nose, complexion, hair, and so on – each by turn is submitted __9__ to an anxious scrutiny. Even if some pass the scrutiny, some will always be found wanted. Nothing less than perfection will do. __10__
　　答案：
& D& a- u- y' M% ~　　1.by改为 to/with。词组 in contrast to/ with 表示“与……相比”，不能用其他介词。
　　2. need改为take。虽然need的汉语意思是“需要”，但英语中It takes 往往作为一个固定搭配，表示“做某事需要某物或者某种品质”。
　　3.in改为with。be involved in 表示“介入，参与”，后面一般跟事。而 be involved with 则表示“和……有关系，有关联”，后面一般跟人。
　　如： He was involved in a car accident.
6 p- q: x: J, |3 I& X, h' Q　　I never wanted to get emotionally involved with him.
$ h. U! X, K# s* i" w; Q　　4.independence改为dependence。
; U7 K" b! N* p2 z( g　　5.which改为that。句子的主干是 it is…that…表示强调。
　　6.giving改为given。given 一词后面接名词词组可表示“考虑到，鉴于…”。
( j0 ]9 V" c9 h3 @6 B% |4 b+ \$ O　　7.beautiful 后面加that。此句同样也是一个强调句型，后面须跟that引导的从句。
　　8.assess改为evaluate。assess往往指对某物在金钱上的价值进行权威的评估。
　　如： We should assess an apartment on the amount for which it is likely to be rented.
　　本句话指每一个平常的女性对自己身体的每一部分进行评判，评价，应该用evaluate，因为该词表示对事物的本质或价值进行判断，如：Teachers evaluate a student’s thesis for content and organization.
　　9.by改为in。by turns 表示“交替地，轮番地 ”。 in turn 表示一系列动作按照一定顺序发生，或者某人先后做某事。根据题意，这里要用in turn。
. E" I5 ]! L4 F; @$ X# u0 e) s0 M4 t　　10. wanted改为wanting。to find something or somebody wanting 表示“（某物或某人）缺乏应有的素质，不够格”。wanted往往指“被通缉”或者“被爱，被照顾的”。
