以下是引用babydevil在2005-5-27 16:45:00的发言:1. The sale of government surplus machinery will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until the supply lasts. (A) will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until the supply lasts (B) begins at 9 a.m., continuing until the supply lasts (C) will begin at 9 a.m. and, until the supply lasts, will continue (D) begins at 9 a.m. and, as long as the supply may last, it continues(E) (E) will begin at 9 a.m. and continue as long as the supply lasts 请问为什么答案是E不是D?E中时态并不一致,will begin ... and continue as long as ...lasts 先用将来时will begin..., and (will) continue;最后用一般现在时lasts,而D的时态一致,都是一般现在时 感觉D更好一点
D 去掉插入语就是:
The sale of government surplus machinery begins at 9 a.m. and it continues.
在此处的代词使用不够简洁。
E十分并列,而且表达清楚简练。
