og63－－没有问过的问题！

63. Health officials estimate that 35 million Africans are in danger of contracting trypanosomiasis, or "African sleeping sickness," a parasitic disease spread by the bites of tsetse flies.

(A)  are in danger of contracting

(B)  are in danger to contract

(C)  have a danger of contracting

(D)  are endangered by contraction

(E)   have a danger that they will contract

though, the passive construction in D would be unnecessarily wordy and also imprecise, because it is the disease more than the act of contracting it that poses the danger.

上面的话什么意思，请指教，谢谢！

试着翻译一下：

Ｄ中的被动结构有些没有必要的唠叨还不准确，因为威胁人们的是疾病本身而不是感染疾病

thanks!

动名词放在介词后面还能接宾语吗？象此题中的trypanosomiasis？

我觉得contracting 是修饰trypanosomiasis的，翻译成“传染性的Ｔ”，也好和后面的“Ａ”并列。

比较迷糊，请ＮＮ帮忙

说实话, 我的本能觉得他是动名词, 没有往形容词的方向想过.

若照形容词解释, 句子的意思就有点奇怪: 那些人处于传染T这中病的危险当中, 而不应该是处在T病本身的危险中.

即便要做形容词, 也应该是contracted.

A是解释T的, 所以用插入语的方式.

强烈同意
