1.most改为more。这句话实际上使用了the more…the more…结果,表示"一个法律制度越完善,社会在其中所负的责任越大"。
1 m& U% A, K$ D! G 2.societies改为society。society 这里应选择单数因为原句的意思是"一个国家的法律制度越完善,社会在发现,控制,和惩治暴力行为中所承担的责任就越大",含义是单数的,所以应该使用单数形式。 3.dealing改为deal。the means to 词组里的to是不定式的to,因此后面应接动词原型。5 W% `6 H' J; L' w
4.personal改为personally。这里personally修饰carrying out judgment…,因此是使用副词。9 A5 t Y# ?) ~) W* |" R$ K. {
5.did改为committed。offense经常与commit,cause,take,give搭配,这里用commit the offense 表示"犯罪"。2 _. [) {' c4 J/ _5 ]! D
6.personalized改为depersonalized。前面一句话指明在部族社会"惩恶扬善"是家族或个人的事,而在法制社会里,"复仇"这一任务不再由个人担当,而是交给社会,因此这里不应使用personalized,而应使用depersonalized,表示"非个人化"。& H y4 u0 f9 C" ~% m `
7.he改为they。这里代词he与前面它所指代的名词individuals不一致,应为they。$ T& y, r1 C/ s2 A
8.committing改为imposing。commit的意思是"犯(错误),干(坏事),把…交拖给,答应负责",在这里不适合,应改为impose。 j: ^. |0 ]% x. i% I
