Science has made _______(大) advances in the last fifty years.
答案是 great,请问填 huge, big 可以吗?
▲三个都可以,但最常见的应该是 great。《牛津英语搭配词典》认为,以下形容词均可修饰 advance:big, considerable, dramatic, enormous, great, spectacular, substantial, tremendous | important, major, notable, remarkable, significant | rapid, steady。其中没有 huge。
▲但下面一句却用了 huge:
There were huge advances in aviation technology during World War Two. 在第二次世界大战期间航空技术有了长足的发展。(剑桥高阶英汉双解词典)
