    答案:
    1.confided 后面加to
    向某人透露……,應(yīng)該用confide to sb
    2.loved改為 beloved
    loved只能用于被動語態(tài),表示動作。不論是做表語還是定語,都只能用beloved。
    3.surrounding改為surroundings
    “surrounding” 是形容詞,意思是“周圍的”,當(dāng)它做名詞是,意思是“環(huán)境”,只能用surroundings。
    4.將and改為who/that
    這是一個強(qiáng)調(diào)句型,意思是“那個守舊的王子落伍了”。
    5.在mistaken后面加上for
    “把……誤以為……”應(yīng)該用mistake…for…。這句話的意思是:他把那棵樹當(dāng)作普魯士的國王了。
    6.that改為what
    在這里what做代詞,引導(dǎo)賓語從句,做combat的賓語。
    7.將with改為in
    In the name of 以為“以……名義”,為固定搭配。這里意思是:以進(jìn)步為名義恣意的破壞。
    8.在urban前加from
    Protect …from…為固定搭配,指的是“保護(hù)……不受……的侵害”
    9.once 前加 was
    這里“his” 代表“his voice”,很明顯這里缺少謂語動詞。這里指“雖然他的聲音曾經(jīng)在荒野里哭喊,但是卻無人聆聽”。
    10.將became改為become
    See…do sth 為固定搭配
