今天做的一张试卷里面完形填空里面出现的。
Never give up on the good times! Just ask the residents of the Palace Nursing & Rehab Center in Miami, Florida, who recently got their very own “senior prom.”And some happy seniors _________to take a trip down memory lane.
A.hestitated B.promised C. thrilled D. arranged
这里答案很明显,是选C,因为其他选项意思根本不对,可是转念一想,这里的thrill前面不该有个were吗?然后去查了字典,发现 thrilled to前面都是都要加 be 动词的,比如:
He's thrilled to bits at the news. 他听到这个消息欣喜若狂。
I was thrilled to hear that I had passed the entrance examination. 听说我已通过了入学考试,我非常兴奋。
We are thrilled to have you. 能把你请来我们的节目我们都很激动
如果就 thrilled 单独出现的话,是可以的,因为thrill这个词可以当动词,很好理解,比如:
The electric atmosphere both terrified and thrilled him. 极度紧张的气氛让他既害怕又兴奋。
但是,这张试卷这个句子主语是人,后面又用了 thrilled to,所以我觉得肯定是要加上were的,要不然意思是过不去的。
后来我挂了vpn去google找到了原文,原来原文是这样的:
There was a prom court. There were some memorable dance moves — and some happy seniors thrilled to take a trip down memory lane.
那么就很好理解了,相当于定于从句省略了 who were,可以是 There was a prom court. There were some memorable dance moves — and some happy seniors(who were) thrilled to take a trip down memory lane.
可是然而卷子里面的那个句子 And 是单独的句子,不应该直接 thrilled to 吧。
不知道是我的理解不对还是这张试卷的这个题出的不严谨,说的有点啰嗦了,希望有高手老师能解答一下,十分感激。
网友的质疑是有道理的。
thrill作及物动词时,句型为sth thrill sb , sb be thrilled to do sth.
thrill作不及物动词时,要么单独做谓语,要么后接介词to/at+名词,不能后接不定式。
google原文中, and 并列there be存在句的二个主语,thrilled to do为后置定语。
试题对原文做了改动,And后成了一个独立的句子,这样,主语为人,thrilled to do作谓语则不符合thrill的用法,应该是出题人的大意导致的错误。
