(2)答案和解析:
1.将hadused改为used。
因为此句是虚拟语气,表示与现在事实相反,故条件从句中应使用一般过去时。
例如:
Manywouldbewiseiftheydidnotthinkthemselveswise.许多人原本会成为聪明人-如果他们不自以为聪明的话。
2.将publishing改为published
report和publish时逻辑动宾关系,故应使用publish的过去分词短语来修饰report。
例如:
Anydiscoverythatwemaymake,howeversmall,willremainacquiredknowledge.任何可能的发现,不管多么微不足道,都将成为知识宝库中的一部分。
3.将theirs改为their
4.将among改为between
在两次怀孕期间留出足够的间隔时间,故用between。
5.将过去分词excluded改为介词excluding
excluding意为“不包括……”
6.将respectably改为respectively
respectively意为“分别地”,符合句子的意思。
而respectably意为“可敬的,值得尊敬地”。
7.将evidences改为evidence。
evidence是不可数名词。
8.将ill改为illness
9.将year改为years
10.将lesser改为less
