Sarah求助：

先问大家2道改错题：

1．I hoped someone else to take his place.

答案是把hoped改为wished,我想问得是,如果使hoped不变,而to改为can可以吗?

2.Suddenly the buliding is on fire.

答案是把is on改为caught,而我是把on改为catching,请问这样得改法可行吗?

1. This is the very dictionary which I’m looking for.

请问这里用very是作什么用的?表示什么意思?是表示“恰当”吗?

Pressure 和stress都表示压力，请问二者的区别是什么？

（真不好意思 ，每次都有这么多问题来麻烦大家！谢谢大家为我解答！）

2.Suddenly the buliding is on fire. 答案是把is on改为caught,而我是把on改为catching,请问这样得改法可行吗? ----------我认为你的改法不可以，着火(catch fire)是一瞬间的事情，而且它也用了Suddenly来提示你这个动作的瞬时性，这肯定是过去的已经发生的事情了，不能用进行时。不过如果去掉这个 Suddenly，即The buliding is on fire.这个应该是对的.

This is the very dictionary which I’m looking for.
请问这里用very是作什么用的?表示什么意思?是表示“恰当”吗? ----------这个问题你在另一个帖也提出了,也是very这个单词,它表示强调,可以理解为"恰好是那个"。翻译的时候可以译为"这正是我在寻找的那本字典"

1．I hoped someone else to take his place.
答案是把hoped改为wished,我想问得是,如果使hoped不变,而to改为can可以吗? 这句的意思是说我希望有人取代他的位置（但这是不可能的）事实上这是表示一种虚拟的语气。一定要把hoped改为wished，不然的话就改变原文的意思了。

Sarah求助：

我有一道改错题要求助：

All of us were going all out to finish our task，afraid of being fallen behind..

本题的正确答案是此句没有错误,可我认为afraid应该改为afraiding,大家是怎么

想的呢?

还有一道完形填空：

Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses.______my dad—he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.

A except B as C not D even

正确答案是C,可是为什么A不行呢?

afraid of ...部分是省略了关系代词的从句，afraid 做形容词使用，没有afraiding的用法。 excetp 做除了...之外解，形容整体和部分的关系，这里前面说的是部分人，后面就不能用except了 fyi[em07]

为什么afriading不是做伴随状语呢？如果按题目的意思，两个分句子之间怎么能没有连接词呢？

楼主难道见过形容词后面再加 ing 的么？比如说 interestinging 之类的。

以下是引用soso在2006-1-3 9:03:23的发言：
楼主难道见过形容词后面再加 ing 的么？比如说 interestinging 之类的。

好讲法！我把afraid当成动词了！

哎！我怎么那么多问题啊！都要成病号了！ 大家一定被我折磨得受不了了！哎！智商问题！

我对一些选择题有疑问：

1．I feel it is your husband who _______ for the spoiled child.

A.is to blame B . is going to blame

C.is to be blamed D . should blame

正确答案是A,可为什么不是C呢?不是表示被动吗?

2.——________I didn’t hear you clearly.it’s too noisy here.

——I was saying that the party was great.

A repeat B once again C sorry? D so what?

正确答案是C,可为什么不能选B呢?

3. ——guess what!I came across an old friend at the party last night.

——________,I’m sure you had a wonderful time.

A sounds good B very well

C how nice D all right

本题应选C,但我觉得A也是对的!A为什么错了?

1、c是被溺爱啊，这里应该是说“你的丈夫溺爱孩子”，用的主动阿。 2、这个once again我好像没有见到放在句首的，一般是放在句末 3、sounds good，好像是不能单独用阿，前面要有主语才行，比如that sounds good。
