请教gemj版主：885一道题答案的疑问!
gemj 学兄：
本人对885中Section B-14 一题答案有疑问。题如下：
14. The Western world’s love affair with chocolate is well-documented: few people have been known to have tasted it for the first time without requesting more.
(A) few people have been known to have tasted it
(B) few having been known to taste it
(C) it has been tasted by few people
(D) few people have been known to taste it
(E) few people having tasted it
版主给出的答案是 D，但本人认为 A可能更好。
证据一：本人查阅张道真语法书关于不定式完成式的用法，指不定式完成式的动作先于主句谓语动词的发生，此处适合；
证据二：刘振民语法98页关于不定式的论述，一例如下：
The fear of rabies is well founded; （few people are known to recover from th e disease after the appearance of the clinical symptoms）
A. .....
B. few people are known to have recovered from disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared
Key is B
请诸位讨论指正。
又：本人对 gemj 学兄的辛勤工作致以衷心感谢！望大家共同努力！

张道真说得没错，但对照来看看A项，TASTE 是发生在KNOW前吗？那意思岂不是变成了“吃了以后才知道？” 但这里要表达的是“他们已经知道了吃”！
不定式的过去式在意思上去正常过去式或完成时是相似的，所以有一个方法
将不定式部分变成从句
例如这句few people have been known to have tasted it =few people have been known that they have tasted it !" 说不通吧

再如LZM的这个例子，few people are known to have recovered from disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared=few people are known that they have recovered from disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared. 这句从句里有明显的完成时标志，加上就这句原意思来说无可后非。

大家指教！

有道理。

对不起, 还是有些不理解. 这里使用的是被动式, 是否应该被理解为"知道很少人第一次品尝它而未要更多的." (意思是它很好吃!大多数人都会要更多的.) 不知这样理解对不对, 望指教!
请哪位牛人给个定论!
