情境短句超级比比看
在以下的情境短句中,哪个短语才对呢?
先看看以下内容,别看中文解析,可以根据直觉判断答案。注意,这些看起来相似的短语意思大不相同,若是误用,可能会闹出不小的笑话。
Question 1 You should ______ force under no circumstances.
A appeal to B appeal for
Answer [A]appeal to 是求助的意思;appeal for 是恳求的意思。如果选择B,则句子意思是在任何情况下你都不能恳求武力,通常情况下是不会恳求武力的,所以 B 选项是错的。
Question 2 His ______ during the meeting quite irritated me.
A absence of mind B change sb''s mind
Answer [A]absence of mind 是心不在焉的意思;change sb''s mind 是改变某人的主意的意思。如果选择 B,则句子的语法是错误的。His 后应该加名词,而不是动词。
Question 3 As long as you don''t give up, you will ______ sooner or later.
A achieve the goal B a great achievement
Answer [A]achieve the goal 是达成目标的意思;a great achievement 是一大成就的意思。如果选择B,则句子意思是只要你不放弃,迟早一大成就,句意明显错误,且语法也有错误。
Question 4 He succeeded because he was decisive enough to ______.
A grab and not let go B grab the moment
Answer [B]grab and not let go 是抓住不放的意思;grab the moment 是把握时机的意思。如果选择A,句子就会变成他之所以成功,是因为他能果断地抓住不放,其语法上没有错误,但是我们通常不会说果断地抓住不放。因为语意上的错误与矛盾,所以不能选择 A 选项。
Question 5 I''m afraid that we can''t ______a car at present.
A can''t afford to waste B afford to buy
Answer [B]can''t afford to waste 是浪费不起的意思;afford to buy 是买得起的意思。如果选择 A,虽然语意通畅,但是一般不会使用两个can''t。
Question 6 You''d better not go there in your casual wear. It''s a wedding ceremony ______.
A after all B all in all
Answer [A]after all 是毕竟的意思;all in all 是总之的意思。如果选择 B,那么句意就会变成你最好不要穿休闲服去那里,总之那是场婚礼,这样虽然语法没有错误,但是句意就会变得非常奇怪。
