19. Balzac drank more than fifty cups of coffee a day and died of caffeine poisoning; furthermore, caffeine did not seem to bother Samuel Johnson, the great writer and lexicographer, who was reported to have drunk twenty-five cups of tea at one sitting. (A) furthermore, caffeine did not seem to bother (B) however, caffeine did not seem to bother (C) however, caffeine did not seem to have bothered (D) furthermore, caffeine did not seem to have bothered (E) in addition, caffeine did not seem to bother ANSWER: B 为什么C不对?从逻辑上理解to have bothered应该是发生在seem(ed)之前,用不定式的完成形式不是很好吗? 难道是因为bothered所表达的过去的含义已经被did (not) seem已经表达了? 请各路高手指教,不胜感谢!

我觉得C选项中did not 和have 表达重复了
其实题干想表达的意思有两种表达方式,一种是B选项的表达方式,用did not seem to bother, 另一种表达方式是do not seem to have bothered, 具体用哪一种,还要根据上下文来确定。 |
