0 L- M3 \4 Z8 }! M! D. _! m 2.loved改为 beloved
) a& @3 s1 \. ]4 P loved只能用于被动语态，表示动作。不论是做表语还是定语，都只能用beloved。
5 o( `+ Q: D: x 3.surrounding改为surroundings
* w( c s. K# f' B1 x5 P# A “surrounding” 是形容词，意思是“周围的”，当它做名词是，意思是“环境”，只能用surroundings。
3 b( W+ j6 X0 O5 ]2 l" X* a( Y 4.将and改为who/that: R' }4 A/ k8 c# I' H* ?

“把……误以为……”应该用mistake…for…。这句话的意思是：他把那棵树当作普鲁士的国王了。+ {5 r' I% \. p/ s- {
6.that改为what
\" T; C. U% c 在这里what做代词，引导宾语从句，做combat的宾语。
# w+ @5 l- p: Y! O 7.将with改为in$ x- ]9 o* z' {& W, }
In the name of 以为“以……名义”，为固定搭配。这里意思是：以进步为名义恣意的破坏。
2 O" K+ j8 F& o7 ^$ a) ? 8.在urban前加from
0 q' {: S ?8 n: O& o$ c8 G Protect …from…为固定搭配，指的是“保护……不受……的侵害”. T( z& _/ j/ N
9.once 前加 was7 I5 N* M% N) @! K
