天山真题 Verbal 9

Baker was perhaps not the most gifted soloist in the orchestra, but the conductor felt what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by the passion with which he played the music.

(A) what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by

(B) what he lacked in technical skill was more than made up by

(C) whatever was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by

(D) whatever he lacked in technical skill was more than made up for by（B）

(E) whatever he lacked in technical skill he more than made up by

为什麽不是D, make up for 不是有补偿的意思吗，我觉得这道题考的就是make up for 的用法，请指点

首先but the conductor felt..后需宾语从句, whatever作为介词没有这个能力

另外, make up后可跟to,for也可以不跟, 从这句话来看应该不跟, by只是表达被动句中的施动者

请NN讨论!!

I just check my dictionary, whatever 在韦氏字典的第一个用法就是代词，举例如下

a anything or everything that

例take whatever you want

b no matter what

例whatever he says, they won't believe him

c whatnot

例 enjoys striking, hiking, or whatever

倒是没看到介词词性

我终于找到答案了，在韦氏字典里有这样一条解释

make up 相当于Vt

make up for 相当于Vi

不及物动词应该不能用被动，而这道题是被动，

whatever 有一点语气加强的意思，所以D错

请指正

     斑竹，能不能提个建议，把发贴 不多的CD等级的名字改改，不要叫什麽游民，叫论坛入门或者 whatever

总觉得游民有一种游手好闲的意味

游民 <>  游侠

侠，侠客也，牛人

哈哈，偶没有权利改这个，不过MM的建议偶会向‘上级’转达。
