Classic Intention Movement
& S2 m3 W& L# t* \1 f O In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an ppointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest’s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.4 Q' p0 K/ V5 P7 i0 ]" ^
答案:
8 a5 B7 m9 q& L8 d 1 将can改为must。根据上下文的意思“主人有一个约会,必须离开”是客观要求,而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的问题。 T& w( B% b6 x/ y b# O4 j2 w. ?
2 not后面加to。desire 后应该加动词不定式to do something。
Y+ M5 _; R( t# } ?' d2 B 3 将of 改为about。care about意思为“对…在意,在乎”,而care of 意思为“转交”。(觉得还可以直接去掉 of,care 本身也有在乎的意思,可是答案不这么写,你怎么看嘞?)# ^1 P7 f: \( r5 ]7 f
4 删掉and或者to。
7 g& q, e% Q8 f1 E8 }. H/ ? 5 将therefore 改为 yet或but。这两部分之间应是转折的关系。
0 ^$ h7 O; F; ]: S8 @3 S6 d/ l 6 将raise改为rise。raise 是及物动词,后面必须加宾语,而且在此与文章意思不符。rise意为“起身”,“站起来”,符合文义。 e t* E; S( H; J. A! s; O
7 在as 和 about之间加上if或者though。此处的意思是主人身子往前倾,双手抓着椅子,好像就要站起来一样。as if/ though to do something 意思为“仿佛要做什么事情”。: U. g/ p( D" o0 I* d# [
8 将make改为perform或do。此处考查搭配问题,动词make与前面的act不能搭配。
& d; S$ s% r1 t5 F( q 9将the改为a。a fraction of a second 意思为非常短暂的时间。
8 z: p8 ?3 ^& |& V! I$ H& X: m 10 将post改为posture |
