问题
The dictionary is______longer to record linguistic events than they______to happen.
选项
A、taking... spend
B、spending... take
C、spending... spend
D、taking... take
答案
D
解析
该句意为:字典记录语言事件所需的时间要比语言事件发生所需的时间长(其含义是语言用法发生变化了,但字典不可能马上记录)。该选项比较难,很多学生感到困惑。问题的根源与其说是不熟悉take和spend这两个词的习惯用法,不如说是错误理解这两个词的用法。一个流行的解释是这两个词可用于表达相同的意义,只是句型不同。take确实经常用于it takes somebody…time to do something,而spend要求somebody充当主语,但这两个词的区别不是体现在主语上,而是体现在意义上。表示“完成某事需要的时间”只能用take,而且主语可以是somebody或something,而spend表示“把时间用于……”,没有“完成”的含义。有关这两个词的用法说明可参考《研究生英语学位课统考知识要点精解》。
