ZDF88, 117

[face=Verdana]#88) During the first one hundred fifty years of the existence of this republic, no one expected the press to be fair; newspapers were mostly shrill, scurrilous, and partisan.

我想问问如果把上面画线部分改成一下的话，有什么错误？

no one expected that the press was fair

#117) Contrary to popular belief, victors in the ancient Greek Olympic Games received cash prizes in addition to their laurel wreaths.

in contrast with 和 in spite of 有什么问题? 它们之间有什么不同?

如果要改的话，也应该是：
no one expected that the press would be fair

117
in contrast with 和 in spite of 的问题在于意思不对。
Contrary to popular belief的意思是“与流行的观点相反...”
上面的两个词好象不能表达这个意思吧?

但是我不明白, 为什么是 would be ?

117
后来我查了字典, in spite of 是竟管的意思, 所以不能表达“与流行的观点相反...”
但是 in contrast with 可以表达“与流行的观点相反...”呀, 那为什么不对?
