134. Canadian scientists have calculated that one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite, while each year sixteen buildings can be expected to sustain damage from such objects.
(A) one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite
(B) a human being should be struck by a meteorite once in every nine years
(C) a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
(D) every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite
(E) every nine years a human being should be struck by a meteorite
這題因為沒定論,所以請哪位牛人好心替大家解答一下
1.The phrase once in every nine years is needlessly wordy in B and C
請問wordy的地方是出現在once上嗎??
我覺得每9年被打到一次挺合理的
longman上的的確確有once every week的用法
2 in every 9 years表現時間副詞,為了跟後面every nine years平衡,我覺得少掉in會好些
3a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
the language of C implies more than can reasonably be maintained: i.e., that a meteorite will strike one person, and no one else, exactly once during every nine-year period.
我的理解是這樣: 流星將會打到那個人每九年一次
首先,one是不定冠詞,這樣用會不知道one在特指哪位??
再來,我猜是說每9年流星就會打到那個人,並不會打到其他人
這與句意不合
以上是我的疑問,煩請大家討論 |
