Tom and Dick are next door friend who both work in same office so they often walk together to and from office. One day they were walking to home together while it suddenly started to rain. Tom quickly open his umbrella and said proud, “My wife had great foresight. She said this morning it would rain and told me to carry my umbrella with myself.” Dick smiled and walked closely to him under the protection of Tom’s umbrella, said “My wife had ever greater foresight. She didn’t let me carry my umbrella as she knew you would have yours with you.

Answer 1

解析1.Tom and Dick是句子的主語，Tom 和Dick是鄰居朋友……。顯然friend應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)，即應(yīng)寫為：friends.
2.same必須與定冠詞the連用。故same前必須加上the.
3.home為副詞，不能說walk to home,只能說walk home.又如：go home,不說go to home.所以句中One day they were walking to home…必須刪掉介詞to.
4.此句的意思是：有一天他們正一起回家，此時天突然開始下起雨來了。而while的意思是“當(dāng)……時候”，應(yīng)該為when,這里的when等于at that time; just then(就在此時)。
5.根據(jù)上下文可知，open應(yīng)該為opened,即時態(tài)的一致性。
6.修飾動詞應(yīng)該用副詞，故proud應(yīng)改為proudly.句義為： “Tom迅速打開雨傘，自豪地說：……”
7.carry sth. with sb.意為“隨身攜帶某物”。故應(yīng)為代詞賓格,myself改為me.
8.close to意為“靠近”。close可以用作副詞。故closely改為close.而closely的意思是“緊密地，親近地”。
9.said應(yīng)改為saying,這里應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞，表示伴隨情況。
10.ever只能用在比較級和最高級后，表示強調(diào)。如：He feels better than he has ever felt before.(他從未感覺這么好過。)而even與adj. / adv.比較級連用時，表示“更加，愈”。又如：Smith was speaking even more slowly than usual.(Smith說的比平常還要慢。)
