The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical __1__ words have “l(fā)ess meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them __2__ “empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather __3__ misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name __4__ of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a __5__ sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet the is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words __6__ differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in __7__ the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “l(fā)ittle words.”
But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words.“ __8__ of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. __9__ Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is __10__ illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
【答案】
1 刪掉the 此處的most并不表示obvious的級(jí),而是用作副詞修飾obvious,表示程度很高,因此前面不能加the.
2 將but改為and 根據(jù)文章的意思,這里要用并列關(guān)系的and.
3 將in改為to. as apposed to 是固定搭配,意思是“與……相比”??荚嚧?BR> 4 將misled改為misleading
5 刪掉away. 此處考查固定用法。 far from being……意思為“遠(yuǎn)非”“遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不怎么樣”,符合這里的意思。而far away from 表示離某處很遠(yuǎn)。
6 將single改為only或者sole.這里要表達(dá)“的”。
7 在as后面加to或者將as 改為in.聯(lián)系上下文,此處的意思是“grammatical words 本身在某某方面也有相當(dāng)?shù)牟町?,”as to 有“關(guān)于”或者“在某某方面的意思”;將as改為in,用differ from something in…也可表達(dá)這個(gè)意思??荚嚧?BR> 8 將mean改為means考試大
9 將as改為like,或者在as前面加such考試大
10 將number改為deal或者amount.obscurity是不可數(shù)名詞,不能用a number of 來修飾。
