似乎我自己明白了，其实什么也没有明白
，请教~~OG. No.129
生词： inventory: 库存品 vintner: 酒商 conjugate: the infinitive form: 动词不定式形式
本题的考点：关于在一个句子中先后出现两个一样的动词的表示方法。
疑惑：a conjugated form: 是什么意思呢？
129. In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell, and they are.
(A) have been priced to sell, and they are
(B) are priced to sell, and they have
(C) are priced to sell, and they do
(D) are being priced to sell, and have
(E) had been priced to sell, and they have
In choice C, the best answer, do is correctly used in place of the full verb do sell; in this verb, do is a conjugated form and sell is in the infinitive form, corresponding to its previous use in the sentence (in the phrase priced to sell). In choice A, the omitted word is selling; in B, D, and E, it is sold. Neither of these forms corresponds properly to to sell earlier in the sentence. Also, in E, the past perfect had been priced signifies that the wines had been priced to sell before the prices were cut.
LDOCE: [transitive] if you conjugate a verb, you state the different forms that it can have
似乎我自己明白了，其实什么也没有明白，请教~~
conjugate: To inflect (a verb) in its forms for distinctions such as number, person, voice, mood, and tense.
C中Do = do sell = do to sell (do 为强调, inflect mood, 表确实, to 被省略,被省略的sell仍然为vi, 被卖, )
