youthunhappy,thevehementanxietytobelikeotherpeople,andthatiswhatmakesmiddleageintolerable,thereconciliationwithoneself.__10

1.去掉the

toleaveschool表示“毕业，离开学校”，当中不能加定冠词，否则就表示离开特点的一所学校。

2.^discovered--have

由by引导的时间状语从句主语一般都用完成体，所以这里应在discovered前加上have。

3.worth--worthwhile

这句话如果用正常的语序说应该是：

itisworthtosacrificehowmuchfreedominordertoachieveanyaim……这样看显然worth的用法是错的，应改为worthwhile，原句的意思是：

但是当你步入中年时便会发现，为了实现一个目标值得你牺牲多少自由……。

4.on--in

应该是havesomethinginview表示“看得见……”，所以应改为inview，而不是onview。

5.of--from

如果名词relief表示“从……得以解脱”时，要用介词from而不是of，如：

toseek/find/providerelieffromtheheat/cold/pain/noise。

6.bath--bathed

bath是名词，而在这里需要一个动词，bathe是动词，所以应改为bathed。

7.everybody^--else

everybody就已经包括了说话人自己，所以这里应改为everybodyelse。

8.^until--not

中文里的“直到……才……”在英文里就要加上not，变成“notuntil...that...”，所以要在原文until签名加上not。

9.do--did

句子ishouldnolongercareiftheydo用的是虚拟语气，是对现实的不真实的假设，所以用if从句后加did。

10.intolerable--tolerable

青年人和中年人的区别在于能使青年人不快乐的事情中年人都可以忍受。

这也是中年的好处所在，所以此句中的intolerable应该改为tolerable。

二

Japaneseadultsmakelittleuseofthefaceeithertoencodeordecodemeaning.

1.^they-that

分句后的分句应有它独立的主谓结构，正像它前面的结构一样。

而后半句的谓语是is，表语是fact，主语似乎是缺失的，因此在they前面加上that就构成了主语从句作为这半句的主语。

2.stimuli-stimulus

stimuli看似单数实则是stimulus的复数形式，因此应改为stimulus。

3.to-/

这里的need作情态动词，因此删去to。

4.or-nor

并列的否定，用否定形式nor表示倒装。

5.on-in

inprofile表示“侧面，从侧面”。

如：

Thepaintingshowsherinprofile。

6.^opposed-as

opposed前应使用连词as引导比较分句。

7.old-olds

由谓语的复数形式可以看出这里需要用复数形式four-year-olds。

8.and-but

9.furthermore-however

上一句话指明美国文化中眼睛的重要性，而这一句话似乎指出日本文化中眼睛并不具有同样的重要性，因此两句话的关系是转折而不是递进。

10.like-as

句子中有一个as……as比较结构。

三

establishedthefirstmedicalschoolforwomen.

1.year's—years

2.Before—After

此处是讲述ElizabethBlackwell写了许多信之后，最终被费城的一个医生所接受。

3.删掉an.

admission是不可数名词。

4.Therefore—So

此处隐藏着一个so...that...结构

5.删掉in

teachschool为固定搭配，教书

6.until—after

据时间顺序，她是1849年从医学院毕业后决定去巴黎深造。

7.farther—further

farther只能做副词，further既可以做副词也可以做动词，此处就是further做动词，并带有宾语hereducation。

8.在difficult前加it

it做形式宾语，替代不定式tostartherownpractice。

9.woman—women

如果用一个人或东西说明整个类属的特点，有三种表示方式：

在名词前加不定冠词；在名词前加定冠词；用名词的复数形式。

此处就是使用名词的复数形式表示类属，womenandchildren。

10.found—founding

与being一样作介词besides的宾语。

四

meaningsarefictions,thiscriticalviewassertsthat"life"and"reality"arethemselvesfictions.　

1.either—both

both...and...为固定搭配。

2.common—commonly

过去分词understood作定语，需要副词修饰

3.在第二个acertain前加to，与前面的to短语并列，都为referto所加的短语

4.like—as或删掉such

such...as为固定搭配。

如删掉such则为单独由like引出所举的说明性的例子

5.contained—containing

现在分词做定语，相当于定语从句。

6.extension—expansion

extension与expansion为形近词，前者强调纵向的扩大，增加或延长，后者着重多方位的，全面的发展和扩大。

7.work—works

此处指的是文学作品，常用works。

8.删掉being

整篇文章都为一般现在时。

9.Gone—Going

现在分词作状语，表示动作由主语发出。

10.although—because

应该是原因状语从句，而不是让步状语从句。

五

【答案】　　

1.sale—sales

名词做定语时一般用单数形式，但在个别情况下也需要用复数。

此处sales便是这种情况。

再如armsrace军备竞赛，savingsbank储蓄银行。

2.at—on

keepaneyeon为固定搭配。

3.drop后面加by

by与asmuchas12percent结合，做谓语动词drop的表示程度的状语。

4.删除highest之前的the　　

5.the—a

序数词表示次序时要用定冠词修饰。

6.brandly—brand

“崭新地”习惯用brandnew或brand-new，此处修饰brought，做状语，意义相当于“崭新地”。

7.more—less

less所在的句子是该段落的主题句，据该段落的细节可知应为less。

8.Exported—Imported

根据常识，进口车由于其进口的数量受到限制，有可能比国产车贬值得慢一些。

9.are之前加which/that或删除are

要么使用定语从句修饰those，妖媚用形容词做those的补足语。

10.their—its/the

据上下文，its或the指代或特指anewmodelofaparticularmake
