22. The voluminous personal papers of Thomas Alva Edison reveal that his inventions typically sprang to life not in a flash of inspiration but evolved slowly from previous works.
(A) sprang to life not in a flash of inspiration but evolved slowly
(B) sprang to life not in a flash of inspiration but were slowly evolved
(C) did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but evolved slowly
(D) did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but had slowly evolved
(E) did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but they were slowly evolved
這一題,我知道要考not ...but的平衡
但是根據句意
"愛迪生"的發明問世不是靠一時的靈感,而是緩慢的演變從之前的工作中
為什麼不能選D
did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but had slowly evolved
evolved from previous paper works--為更早的動作,所以用過去完成
sprang to life --用過去式,表示晚一些的動作
時態上,這樣好像也可以阿
還請nn賜教
