Their trip to the area has ______ their belief that no plan whatsoever is better or worse than the one they have made.
A. affected B. influenced C. established D. assured
答案选 C,请问是因为 establish a belief 是固定搭配的原因吗?
Their trip to the area has established their belief that no plan whatsoever is better or worse than the one they have made.
▲establish one’s belief 意为“确立信仰,确立信念”,如果 belief 之后接同位语从句,可以直接翻译为“确信”,把同位语从句按照宾语从句翻译。
▲assure意为“使某人确信”,其宾语始终是“人”,不是“物”。如果说 has assured them that no plan..., 则是不错的英语表达。
▲affect 和 influence 都是“影响”之意,属于重复答案。此外,affect, influence 与 belief 搭配比较牵强,内容与 belief 的同位语从句不符。
▲句子意思是:通过前往该地区视察让他们确信,没有任何计划比他们自己的更好或是更差。(言外之意就是:他们自己制定的计划非常可行。)
