也可以用复数。根据《牛津高阶英语词典》在air force的语法注释 [C+sing. / pl. v.],air force是可数名词,用作主语时,其后动词可用sing.(单数)或pl.(复数)。所以下面的句子也是可以的:The Air Force maintain many kinds of aircraft. 空军装备了许多飞行器。

look one’s age 是习语,意思是“容貌与年龄相称”(=seem as old as one really is and not younger or older),其中不用介词like。又如:She doesn’t look her age at all. 她一点儿也不像那么大年纪(显得年轻得多)。I was surprised when I last saw her—she’s really starting to look her age now. ...

▲基本同意黎老师的分析。但其中可能有个笔误,即We arrived early, so that we got good seats中的so that we got good seats 应是结果状语从句,不宜理解为目的状语从句。句意为:我们到得很早,因此我们座位很好。或:我们到得早,因此我们找到了好座位。▲但是,对于We arrived early, so (that) wegot good seats 的分析...

lose 和 miss 都有“丢失”的意思,但两者的侧重点有所不同:1. lose表示“丢失”,指无法找到,其英文释义为 become unable to find。如:I’ve lost my case. 我的手提箱丢了。I lost my old camera; this is a new one. 我的旧相机丢了;这是一架新的。2. miss 表示“丢失”其实是指“发现……不在或遗失”,其英文释义为 notice th...

▲没错,汉语的“越来越……”翻译成英语通常用“比较级+and+比较级”,又如:He did less and less work. 他做的工作越来越少。The wheels turned faster and faster. 车轮越转越快。The train went slower and slower until itstopped. 火车开得越来越慢,直到最后停下来。More and more people are choosing to livealone. 越来...

含有宾语补足语的句子若变为被动语态,则宾语补足语便变成了主语补足语。如以下两句中的 what you like, what he was 就是宾语补足语从句:You can call him what you like. 你想叫他什么就叫他什么。They made him what he was. 他们让他成了那个样子。如以下两句中的 what you like, what he was 就是主语补足语从句:He...

延续性动词用于一般现在时通常不宜与表示一段时间的状语连用。英语一般不会说:I live here for a long time.(但可说:I have lived here for a long time. / I can live here for a long time./ I will live here for a long time. / I hope to live here for a long time. 等等)不过在某些特殊种情况下,延续性动词的一...
