10. The fear of rabies is well founded: (few people are known to recover from the disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms).
(A) few people are known to recover from the disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms
(B) few people are known to have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared
(C) there are few known people who have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared
(D) after the clinical symptoms appear, there are few known people who have recovered from the disease
(E) recovery from the disease is known for only a few people after the clinical symptoms appear
1.will表示一种certainty,could表示一种possibility,两者并列没有问题,将要或者可能。
2.few表示极少的,不是没有。The fear of rabies is well founded,表明后面描述的已经发生的事实,这样才有可能成为basis,因此后面用完成时来表达比一般现在时要好。
一般现在时表示一般情况,原文只说well founded,表明有已经发生的事实作为基础,至于这个事实是不是一直存在的一般情况,并没有表达出来,所以用完成时更准确。作者: rudder86 时间: 2010-10-25 06:39
