Jim didn't understand____.选择题 检举 | 今天 05:59 提问者: 童心未泯first | 浏览次数:24次
Awhich is the way to the museum shopping
B.why his wife always goes shopping
C.what was the way to the museun the station
D.how I could get to the station.
答:这将是一道有争议的题.在B与D之间.
请别关. 从主句主谓语序正常可排除C. 从逻辑上及时态上看,可能排除A.
从逻辑上讲,B对.从时态一致看,D对.
译:吉姆(原来)不理解(不明白)他夫人为什么总是去购物.
如果主句用了doesn't understand,则B为最佳.
用了过去时态,按主过从过,时态一致,从句也要用过去时:why his wife always went shopping. 而这里的从句是一般现在时.
我们知道,有个“真理”除外.如:the teacher said that the earth goes around the sun.
因为地球绕太阳转是“真理”,昨天、今天、明天,天天如此.
那么他夫人总是购物这件事情呢?也可以说是一个客观事实.昨天、今天、明天,都会发生.
所以选B不是没有道理的.
主句用didn't understand表示“刚才,过去”不理解.现在他理解了.
Jim now understands why his wife always goes shopping.
再来看D项.大家从主过从过,时态一致(包括从句语序正常)来判断,选择D,是完全正确的.
但是,句子的意思的,句子的逻辑呢?又不是很好.
译:吉姆当时不理解(不明白)我怎么能够到达车站.
我怎么不能到达车站呢?这都不理解?这啥意思啊?
如改为:Jim didn't understand how I was able to get to the station. (how I managed to get to the station/ how I succeeded in getting to the station), 就好一些:
吉姆不理解我是怎样到达车站的.
甚至我在想这个从句是不是还要用过去完成时态呢?
也许出题者并没有想这么多,就想到了主过从过,时态一致,至于句子的意思,逻辑上是否通顺,就不去考虑了.就很大多数答题者,只要选对了选项,至于句子翻译,就省了.
