Mark often attempts to escape ______ whenever he breaks traffic regulation.

A.having been fined B.to have been fine C.to be fined D.being fined

本题要选 D 而不能选 C，原因很简单，因为 escape 后面接动词时要用动名词，不能用不定式。又如：

I hate him but I can’t escape meeting him. 我讨厌他，但又不得不见他。

He narrowly escaped being run over. 他差点儿被车压死。
