Classic Intention Movement
In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is ?the chair-grasp?. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an appointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest?s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__
push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his ?readiness-to-rise? post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.
答案及解析:1. 將can改為must
根據上下文的意思?主人有壹個約會,必須離開?是客觀要求,而不是?能不能?或者?可不可以?的問題。
2. not後面加to
desire 後應該加動詞不定式to do something。
3. 將of 改為about
care about意思為?對?在意,在乎?,而care of 意思為?轉交?
(覺得還可以直接去掉 of,care 本身也有在乎的意思,可是答案不這麽寫,妳怎麽看嘞?)
4. 刪掉and或者to。
5. 將therefore 改為 yet或but
這兩部分之間應是轉折的'關系。
6. 將raise改為rise
raise 是及物動詞,後面必須加賓語,而且在此與文章意思不符。rise意為?起身?,?站起來?,符合文義。
7. 在as 和 about之間加上if或者though
此處的意思是主人身子往前傾,雙手抓著椅子,好像就要站起來壹樣。as if/ though to do something 意思為?仿佛要做什麽事情?。
8. 將make改為perform或do
此處考查搭配問題,動詞make與前面的act不能搭配。
9.將the改為a
a fraction of a second 意思為非常短暫的時間。
10. 將post改為posture
