11. 這些表達的詞序能倒過來嗎

a. The villagers supplied us with ______.

b. Both ______ are interested in such things.

A. food and drink, rich and poor              B. drink and food, rich and poor

C. food and drink, poor and rich              D. drink and food, poor and rich

此題應選A。容易誤選D。主要是受漢語詞序習慣的影響——“飲食”和“貧富”。

關于這個問題, 要注意以下幾點：

1. 某些用and連接的兩個詞, 與漢語順序相反, 不要按漢語詞序顛倒過來：

rich and poor 貧富

land and water 水陸

right and left 左右

north and south 南北

food and drink 飲食

food and clothing 衣食

以下各表達, 通常也不能倒過來：

now and then 不時, 時時, 不時

heart and soul 全心全意地

men and women 男女

husband and wife 夫妻

Mr and Mrs Smith 史密斯夫婦

ladies and gentlemen 各位女士, 各位先生

2. 某些用and連接的兩個詞, 與漢語順序可以相同也可以相反(即詞序可以顛倒過來)：

day and night / night and day 日夜

old and young / young and old 老少

12. 這些形容詞有比較等級嗎，能受very修飾嗎

a. His work is ______ perfect in every way.

b. He is a ______ complete stranger to me.

A. very, very            B. ×, ×                     C. ×, very                D. very, ×

此題應選B。其余幾項都可能被誤選。在英語中, 有些形容詞和副詞, 從詞義上看, 由于它已含有“極”、“最”這樣的極限意義, 所以它們習慣上不再用very修飾, 也通常沒有比較等級。常見的這類詞語有：

1. 形容詞：total, complete, perfect, entire, utter, absolute, extreme 等。

他是個十足的大傻瓜。

正：He is a complete fool.

誤：He is a very complete fool.

他是位十分優秀的老師。

正：He is a perfect teacher.

正：He is a very good teacher.

誤：He is a very perfect teacher.

他是一位比你更優秀的老師。

正：He is a better teacher than you.

誤：He is a more perfect teacher than you.

2. 副詞：perfectly, completely, entirely, extremely, utterly, absolutely, totally等。

他的工作干得十分出色。

正：He did his work perfectly.

正：He did his work very well.

誤：He did his work very perfectly.
