arts跟前面的commercial and indutrial连在一起看,而非与后面的staff:(the commercial and industrial arts) staff. 0 r8 t1 C) x$ f2 J' O+ l f 6、There are a number of other positions to consider. / e3 [+ U' }( g5 n: ?2 r8 \2 Q2 Z "A number of" 换成 "a lot of" 或者是"a great many"行不行,为什么?+ H* Y* D& u5 r7 F" A$ M# j" p) \
可以换成a lot of或a great many of,因为position是可数名词。如果这里是不可数名词,则只能用a number of代替而不能用a great many.修饰可数/不可数都行:a number of/a lot of,只能修饰可数:a great many of(与many性质一样)1 L+ y: N( J0 ~7 \3 _% T. _
7、Would you mind letting me take a look in your briefcase? |6 g. \! P) o 将"letting me"换成 "let me" 行不行,为什么?+ b/ o7 l- ?4 @' O# C9 n
不行,mind是动词,后面不能直接跟动词原形,一般接名词(或动名词),这里的letting是let的动名词形式。
