OG 12 哭天喊地跪求! SC

A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.

A  claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought

C claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as have been previously thought by some analysts

D claims, suggesting about the economy that it might not be so weak as previously thought by some analysts

答案 A  真确

         C the sentence offers no plural subject to fit the passive verb " have been thought"

         D 理由一 there is no reason to use passive voice

我的困惑

         C  a and b 这种模式谓语不是应该用复数吗?

         D 使用被动语态还需要理由?意味着轻易不可以用?

         claims 在这里怎么翻?

请大家帮帮忙,谢谢了

OG答案的解释往往是不对的。

这题选A

C错，因为不可以随便改变原文的时态，没有理由改成现在完成时。况且，有previously，必须要用一般过去式。

E错，因为E不是一句话呀。

A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims 是主语，谓语动词是suggest,用的是复数。

你好,请问一下,claims 在这里怎么翻?

A surge (主语－单数） in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims　（谓语－单数） suggest　（宾语） that（宾主从句） the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.

suggest 在这里作名词用．

选Ａ

new home sales (新屋销售数量)and unemployment claims(申请失业救济人数) 是美国的两项经济数据.

此处Claim含义: an official request for money that you think you have a right to (from longman english dictionary)

a surge.... and a drop.... 后面的动词应用复数.

一般来说,主动语态比被动语态直接,简洁.所以我猜OG的意思是若主动语态可以表述清楚一个问题, 就没有必要用被动语态.

若一定要用被动语态, 应该是 "the economy has been thought weak by some analysts", 而不是 a surge... and a drop...
