二人对话:
Mike: Hi, look where you are going ! John: Oh, I'm terribly sorry. ( )
A. I wasn't noticing.
B. I didn't notice.
我发现这道题网上有人选A,有人选B。
我们学校有的老师选A,有的老师说B正确,有的老师说2个都正确。
请教专家老师,究竟是哪个正确的额?如果2个都正确,2个含义的理解差别究竟在哪里?
应该选A.问题的关键在于wasn't noticing 有没有留神,或因精神无法集中而没注意到的意思,这是英语里常见的用法。B则仅是没有注意到,可能是多种原因,不一定是没有留神。所以,选A 最符合句子语境和英语惯用。请体会几个外媒例句:
1. I was afraid no one would laugh, and I wanted to pretend I wasn't noticing the audience. (假装没注意到观众)
2. I got some water in my boot. It got so cold that I wasn't noticing the pain anymore. It just became totally numb.靴子太凉了,以至于感觉不到疼痛了,脚都麻木了。
3. I was bummed I wasn’t noticing any big changes after 3 months and then this happened.
我很难过,我竟然没有注意到三个月后的大变化,然后这一切就发生了。
