專八改錯(cuò)練習(xí)第十六篇:

Whenever you see an old film, even one made aslittle as
ten years before, you can't help being strucked by the__1__
appearance of the women taking part. Their hair stylesand
make-up look date; their skirts look either too long ortoo __2__
short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicurous.
The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3__
There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that
they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4__
by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5__
have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6__
style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year,
a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__
on the law and women whole world over run to obey. The __8__
decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.
Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9__
waist will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10__

答案及解析(反白可見):
1. strucked—struck或strucken
過去分詞形式有誤.strike的過去式是struck,過去分詞為struck或strucken
2. date—dated
look為系動詞,其后應(yīng)該是形容詞,構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)
3. on other hand—on the other hand
4. entire—entirely
副詞修飾形容詞different,并與different一起修飾age
5. minority—majority
從上下文以及常識判斷,多半男性成功抵制了改變他們服裝款式的企圖,即多年來,男性的服裝款式與女士服飾相比沒有多大變化
6. it—them
them代表the great majority of men
7. fewer—few
此處沒有比較的意思
8. 去掉on
lay on為習(xí)語,表示“規(guī)定(規(guī)則,原則,法規(guī)等)”
9. Sometime—Sometimes
sometime為“在任何時(shí)候”,sometimes為“有時(shí)”
10. height—high?
