It was a sunny day. I was taking the subway and happened to be seat between two young guy. The one on the right saw the slightly dirty Band Aid(创可贴)on my thumb and says,“You should real change that. You have to keep it clean.”Then the one in my left said, “Here, I have one,”and pulled fresh Band Aid out of his backpack.“I keep it on me because of Im always hurting me.”
Although I was doubtful, I thanked him, changed my Band Aid, and got off at my stop, felt pretty good about people, life or New York City.
参考答案
本文作者记叙自己在地铁上得到别人主动无私提供创可贴的事情,由此引发作者对他人、生活和纽约城市的好感。
1. seat改为seated 因为be seated (坐著)相当于sit。
2. guy改为guys 因为前面有two,是两个人,所以用复数。
3. says改为said 发生在过去,与前面的saw并列,用一般过去时。
4. real改为really 修饰动词change要用副词really。
5. in改为on 表示“在”左边或右边,用介词on。
6. 在pull 后加a 不定冠词a 修饰可数名词Band-Aid。
7. 去掉because后的of 因后面是一个句子,应当用连词because,而不能用短语介词because of,故应去掉of。
8. me改为myself 表示自己弄伤,是hurt oneself,故这里应是myself。
9. felt改为feeling 前面已有三个并列的谓语动词,而felt前无并列连词,应为非谓语动词;因I与feel是主动关系,故用现在分词短语作状语,表示伴随状况。
10. or改为and 因people, life 和New York City三者是并列关系,而非选择关系。
