我的疑惑:choice A, B, and E can be faulted for using should in place of will to indicate future occurrences: should carries the suggestion, especially unwarranted in this context, that the Canadian scientists are describing what ought to happen. 这句话,结合A,B,E和原文,我还是不很理解。谢谢大家给予帮助。
本题的考点:1)should表示一种没有根据或者没有保证的含义。 而will 表示一种未来要发生的含义。
2) once in every nine years: 是一种非常累赘的表达方法。
3)不定惯词加名词---------表示一种一般的,范指的。
4)while的出现,要求前后需要一种结构的对称形式。
5)one person: 而不是a person, 会产生一种特指的具体的含义,而不是范指的含义。
134. Canadian scientists have calculated that one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite, while each year sixteen buildings can be expected to sustain damage from such objects.
(A) one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite
(B) a human being should be struck by a meteorite once in every nine years
(C) a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
(D) every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite
(E) every nine years a human being should be struck by a meteorite
Choices A, B, and E can be faulted for using should in place of will to indicate future occurrences: should carries the suggestion, especially unwarranted in this context, that the Canadian scientists are describing what ought to happen. The phrase once in every nine years is needlessly wordy in B and C. Also, the language of C implies more than can reasonably be maintained: i.e., that a meteorite will strike one person, and no one else, exactly once during every nine-year period. Choice D is best: the phrasing is concise and free of unintended suggestions, and the use of the indefinite article in a human being is appropriate for describing what is expected to be true only on the average.
should: “应该发生”,而“原文并不能证明应该要发生”suggestion, especially unwarranted in this context, ought to会发生;
所以只能改为will,将要发生;
