1.most改为more。这句话实际上使用了the more…the more…结果,表示"一个法律制度越完善,社会在其中所负的责任越大"。
5 ?0 L i8 w- x Z 2.societies改为society。society 这里应选择单数因为原句的意思是"一个国家的法律制度越完善,社会在发现,控制,和惩治暴力行为中所承担的责任就越大",含义是单数的,所以应该使用单数形式。 3.dealing改为deal。the means to 词组里的to是不定式的to,因此后面应接动词原型。$ |$ G6 k9 \7 f; e4 z
4.personal改为personally。这里personally修饰carrying out judgment…,因此是使用副词。2 ?# e2 R( Z1 v' T& a% n9 q1 r
5.did改为committed。offense经常与commit,cause,take,give搭配,这里用commit the offense 表示"犯罪"。
