英語沙龍您好,我想請問您幾道單選題
1.The gang has escaped without any__.
A.traits B.traces C.tracks D.trails
我查過字典,四個都有蹤跡的意思,應(yīng)該怎樣區(qū)別呢?答案(B)
2.Thomas edison considered genius to be__one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
A.constituded in B.composed of C consisted of D.comprised in
我覺得B和c都可以
●
Trait指特點、特征、特性.Trace指 mark,track,sign,etc.showing what has existed or happened,即"曾經(jīng)存在或發(fā)生的事所留下的痕跡、蹤跡",也就是我們所講的抽象意義上的蹤跡、痕跡.Track和trail兩個詞均表示人用肉眼看得見的蹤跡、痕跡,其中track尤指車輛、行人、運行經(jīng)過后留下的足跡、痕跡.）
下面再給你舉一個例子：
Sorrow and disappointment left their ____ upon his character.
A.tracks B.traits C.traces D.trails
答案：C
第二題應(yīng)該選B.雖compose和consist都有"組成、構(gòu)成"之意,可兩者在句法的構(gòu)成上卻是不同.前者一般用作"be composed of",而后者則是"consist of"(主動形式).
如：Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.
The house consists of six rooms.
