※ 引述《recary (recary)》之銘言:
: 1.The story(Les Miserables) is _____ of hope and optimism in the midst of
: poverty and injustice.
: (A)that (B)which (C)some (D)one
: Ans:(A)
: 【疑惑】我自己解釋是The story is the/a story of hope...,但因前面出現過the
: story,故用單數that代替。請問這個觀念對嗎?
: 2.The musical version of the story was _____ in France.
: (A)played (B)performed
: Ans:(B)
: 【疑惑】字典上play 和perform的意思差不多,都可以用在表演/演出,請問這裡為什
: 麼只能選played呢?
: 感謝大家的幫忙 :)
1.)
Instead of writing
"He has a peculiar smile, it looks like the smile of a jester or a clown,"
I can write:
"He has a peculiar smile, it looks like that of a jester or a clown."
I would write
"My body type is that of a midget"
but not
"My body type is the body type of a midget."
To me, using "that of" is good way to avoid redundancy.
To see how "that" is used as a "determiner," see
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=82256&dict=CALD
2.)
In this case,
a musical = a play = a performance (roughly)
however,
we say "the musical (or the performance or the play) was performed,"
but not
"the musical (or the performance or the play) was played."
Although a piece of music can be played, but a play is performed.
I'm making myself dizzy now... :p
and I hope my explanation doesn't confuse you more...
Cheers ^^
