下面一题如何选?
—Trevor and Laura argue much too often, I think.
—_______. They’re always arguing.
A. I know B. I know it C. I know so D. I know that
好像填 I know, I know it, I know so, I know that 都可以选似的,请问它们的具体区别是什么?
本题选 A、B、D 都可以,但不宜选 C。但估计本题的命题者所给答案是 A,因为它是最常用的,但其实 B、D 也不能算错。
▲根据《柯林斯高级英语用法词典》:在英国英语中,对于别人把自己已经知道的事情再来告诉自己,人们通常用 I know 来作答,而不用 I know it,但在美国英语中,人们也用 I know it——所以选 A 和 B 是对的:
A: George phoned while you were out.
B: Yes, I know (it). I’m going to phone him back.
A: The windows are dirty.
B: Yes, I know (it). I’m going to clean them later.
A: Jack and Jill were secretly married.
B: Yes, I know (it). I had guessed (it).
A: This place is such a mess.
B: I know (it).
▲再根据斯旺《英语用法指南》的以下例句可知,选项 D 也可以,但选项 C 不行:
A: You’re late.
B: I know. / I know that. (不能说: ... I know so.)
