1.在part前加上a。词组have a part to play in…的意思是“有份儿”
! [3 P1 V% i% F0 I8 T) h 2.saddle改为saddled。此处为被动语态,应该把动词变为过去分词形式。 x, Y" p! r v; q3 v
3.把with改为at。此处介词与interest rates搭配。2 ]4 V# O+ N$ a3 x
4.删除been(这里应该是把risen改为rising,答案应该错了)。rise是不及物动词,不用于被动语态。- M2 @8 @( W$ y5 R% f5 v
5.把letting改为let。let alone 意思为“更不用提”。8 E( F7 \9 l0 K# y4 y- D* `. k
6.把imported改为exported。下文说花生可以带来外汇收益,出口才会带来外汇,所以此处应用exported。
6 G/ \# Q7 W* Z! v' w, f 7.把have改为had。上文提到该国禁止本国消费花生这件事用的是过去时。
3 {; v1 K! B0 n/ G" t' g& b. e 8.把also改为so。必须把与此相关的几个句子联系在一起理解,上文说:花生出口到英国和美国去喂了牛,而牛又产出了过剩的牛奶,我们不知道怎么处理这些牛奶。在西方世界,我们的牛奶够多了,多得无法处理。本句说:这些牛奶就被制成奶粉拿到该国去喂养那些营养不良的儿童。由此可见本句与上文是因果关系,不能用also来连接。3 Y' N. K S; C+ D- S- d% G
9.insanely改为insane。此处表达“荒唐的经济关系”insane修饰的是relationship,而非economic,因此要用形容词代替。
