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(jù)上下文的意思“主人有一個(gè)約會(huì)，必須離開(kāi)”是客觀要求，而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的問(wèn)題。
2. not后面加to
desire 后應(yīng)該加動(dòng)詞不定式to do something。
3. 將of 改為about
care about意思為“對(duì)…在意，在乎”，而care of 意思為“轉(zhuǎn)交”
(覺(jué)得還可以直接去掉 of，care 本身也有在乎的意思，可是答案不這么寫，你怎么看嘞?)
4. 刪掉and或者to。
5. 將therefore 改為 yet或but
這兩部分之間應(yīng)是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系。
6. 將raise改為rise
raise 是及物動(dòng)詞，后面必須加賓語(yǔ)，而且在此與文章意思不符。rise意為“起身”，“站起來(lái)”，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(lái)一樣。as if/ though to do something 意思為“仿佛要做什么事情”。
8. 將make改為perform或do
此處考查搭配問(wèn)題，動(dòng)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(shí)間。
10. 將post改為posture
