GWD 29-36

Section 301 of the 1988 Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act enables the United States Trade Representative to single out
                    a country as an unfair trader, begin trade negotiations with that country, and, if the negotiations do not conclude by the United States government’s being satisfied, to impose
                    sanctions.

A. by the United States government’s
                    being satisfied, to impose

B. by the United States government’s satisfaction, impose

C. with the United States government’s being satisfied, imposing

D. to the United States government’s satisfaction, impose

E. to the United States government’s satisfaction, imposing

答案是D,难道single out Sb. to do Sth.的用法不正确??????

这题偶是这样看的：

首先，being satisfied不如satisfaction好，排除AC

然后因为and是连接single out和impose的，前后结构必须平行，排除E

偶觉得，LZ说的那个single out to do里面的的to do和这里不同，这里的impose是和single out 平行的。倒是B和D中by 与to的选择，偶不确定，感觉to比较顺眼？！

楼上的大牛早考完了，不会再回来答你咯。

It basically means that the outcome doesn't meet the U.S. expectation.

和single out 平行,选impose,排除C,E.

by好像有点被动的意思吧? 感觉不好,原文中好像没有这层,排除A,B.

选D

seemingly to is better than by. So D

wow, really a lot of cats
