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。

3 a- T% E% B/ v, o1 z 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。% F; C/ V+ T3 I8 I' x5 z
5.把letting改为let。let alone 意思为“更不用提”。- F0 O$ J! f' g( l$ }& {" i
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。
$ q5 z) J, s s$ G2 W4 [ 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 X. V$ h3 c, I* G+ N5 ^" g
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。7 o( J" a1 V" d
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。
2 ^9 c% @1 ^2 w3 A# M" z% g( G 10.把in改为into。词组get in 虽然也可以表达“ 进入,陷入”,但是in为副词,后面不能跟地点,所以应该改为into |
