Three passions have governed my life: the longing for love, the search into knowledge, and the unbearable __1__ pity for the suffering of mankind.I have sought of love, first, because it brings ecstasy--ecstasy so great because I would often have __2__ sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness which one shivering consciousness __3__ looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, then, because in the __4__ union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven where saints and poets __5__ have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--i have found.With equal passionate I have sought knowledge. I have wished __6__ to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know whythe stars shine...A little this, but not much, I have achieved. __7__ Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But it always pity brought __8__ me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate inmy heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people--a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty and pain make a mock of what __9__ human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth of living, and would gladly live it again if the chance __10__ were offered me.9 Y9 q9 M2 ]1 U, w( A# D' ~
答案:; B b' [ b- v! R
1.into-for.search into意思是“调查”,这里要表示“寻找”,应该用词组search for。# k) s* @, B% |8 W% K) U+ x
2.because-that.原句意思是:我追寻过爱,首先是因为他带来狂喜——莫大的狂喜,我常会为了几个小时的这种喜悦吧我的余生都牺牲掉。“so...that”句型表示因果关系。8 l# R; X/ O, I- U- \
3.^which-in.这句的意思是:我追寻过爱,再者是因为它能排遣寂寞——陷入那种可怕的寂寞,一颗颤抖的心灵在世界的边缘之上俯瞰冰冷,深不见底、毫无生息的深渊。which做关系代词引导从句修饰loneliness,同时定语从句本身主谓语结构完整,因此应在which前面加上in,表示“在这种寂寞中”,做状语。" P+ ?$ L( {) R
4.then-finally/lastly.前文已经出现了表示列举的first、next,此句之后也没有再列举其他理由,所以此处应该表示列举最后一条原因,应为finally或者lastly。
, ] P* f, t/ k8 d$ \3 ^ 5.where-that/which.此处heaven是先行词,后边的定语从句只缺少宾语,不能用关系副词where,应该用关系代词that或者which。8 @! _5 B! o- ^8 D2 i( u% E! }2 w
6.passionate-passion.with是介词,后面应跟名词,而passionate是形容词,故改为passion。 |
