大全269 题目中有疵？(885 补充材料128)

yzlinlin

269.    During the Renaissance, scholars were uncertain as to be location of Troy, and by the eighteenth century many historians doubted that Troy had ever existed.
(A) doubted that Troy had ever existed
(B) doubt that Troy has ever existed
(C) were in doubt as to the existence of Troy
(D) were doubtful concerning Troy’s existence
(E) had doubts about Troy’s ever existing


答案A。
但未划线部分的as to be location是否应该是as to the location? 抑或有别的说法？

gemj

同意yzlinlin所说。
我查了新东方原稿，确实是这样的，但肯定有错误。
AS TO后面应该跟名词，例如：
as to something
Frank was very uncertain as to whether it was the right job for him.
鉴于BE与THE的长相高度接近，应该是THE。
那我就这么改了！
感谢＋敬佩！

gemj 要这么说我可真是汗颜不已。
你可是我们的主心骨、顶梁柱啊。

IN answer A, why is it not "weather" but "that"?

Snazzy

1, doubt (that) I doubt we'll ever see him again.



2, doubt if/whether You can complain, but I doubt if it'll make any difference



what's the difference then?

tianwan

doubt that表示谨慎地不相信。doubt whether表示不确定。例如：doubt that he is here.意思是认为他不应该在这里。doubt whether he is here意思是：他在这里吗？（可能在，也可能不在）。不过大体上两者是差不多的。请参阅金山词霸doubt。

请问as to 这里是什么用法？什么意思呢？

mariewoo

A是没错
不过C为什么是错的呢？

我查了字典有be in doubt的说法，难不成是as to用错了？
如果用A，貌似和前面未划线的as to还平行啊
请大家帮忙看看 谢谢！

顶！
