25. Being able to predict the strength and the direction of an earthquake could save lives and million of property damage.
B The capability for predicting the strength and the direction of an earthquake would mean that lives are saved
C The ability to predict the strength and the direction of an earthquake would mean that lives are saved
D The ability of predicting the strength and the direction of an earthquake would mean that lives are saved(此选项前面不敢确定,但would后确定)
E The ability for predicting the strength and the direction of an earthquake could save lives
大家选什么A感觉不对,B,C,D意思不对,但E ability for 也感觉不对
偶觉的A最象 但谁能给理由啊。

我觉得 E 好.


A 中, 虽然动名词可以做主语, 但 Being able to ...实在是比较怪.


ability for : .....的能力

我同意frankdong的选择,A


being able to 的结构在英文读物中是很常见的


ability for         .....的能力,这是金山词霸的解释,但是我在google里面搜索了一下,竟然没有发现这个用法。你觉得呢,wildwind?

谢谢各位的分析,那到底哪个是正确答案呢?


谁给来个盖棺定论吧!

我刚在 Longman 上看了一下, 没有看到ability for 的用法


ability for 的确是在金山上看的, 上面显示是出自<英汉简明词典>, 不知道韦氏词典上有否? 有该词典的可以查查.
