我也顶！14题我看得晕晕乎乎的！

hawkinsxie

few people have been known to have tasted it for the first time without requesting more

1) As mentioned above, "few people" expresses a negative meaning which should not be considered sth. already happened.

2) taste is a one-time action, and it is restricted by the temporal adverbial modifier - for the first time. Besides, you can hardly imagine a scene that someone, to whom the sentence dedicatedly refers, has done the action - "taste".

3) awkward, have been known to have tasted, ambiguously instated two perfect tenses, which idea does the author want to transfer to the reader?

1) and 2) also can apply to "few people are known to have recovered from the disease once the clinical symptoms have appeared". so 3) alone is not gonna help.

Can someone find the original OG explanation?

now i think it is  D-- have been known to taste it

but i don't know how to explain it...

just feel 'have been known to have tasted it" is wordy and awkward..

the case above is not the same as the question

"few people are known to have recovered xXXX".........

gosh i am already out of my mind...need to take a break ..also need NN to help

MM你其实已经发现了问题所在了

我想是不是用完成时由逻辑意思和文章中的时间点决定：

14题， 很少有人在第一次吃巧克力时不要更多。 第一次吃的时候是一个时间点所以不用完称时。

咖啡没有影响XX人， 这题文中没有关于完成时的时间， 所以用过去时。 而且didn't seem to bother 如果时完成时的话， 用hasn't seemed to bother就可以了。

在得了某个病后又好了得， 用完成时因为， 病好是在过去某一时间发生但没有确定时间。

我覺得這題除了大家討論的時態以外

有一個錯誤的地方...

因為五個答案中的"it"並不是一個很好的代名詞

因為題目中有love affair和chocolate兩個單數名詞

"it"will create ambiguity for readers

不知道各位覺得呢?

我觉得不用have tasted 的一个主要原因是是因为taste是一个瞬间动词而不是持续性动词的原因

一家之言..
