答案及解析:
1.like改為as
as 作為連詞可以用在形容詞前,和動(dòng)詞regard或describe搭配,表示“看作,描述成”。
2.what改為how
這里要表達(dá)的是“怎樣想”,而不是“想什么”,聯(lián)系前一句“how things are done around here”也可以幫助發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤。
3.wide改為broad
wide和broad容易錯(cuò)用。表示寬度時(shí)既可用broad,wide,wide更常用,如:a wide river;a broad river。但是表示具體的物件時(shí)只用wide,如 a wide bed,一般不說(shuō) a broad bed。 表示生理,概念或范圍時(shí),要用broad,如:a broad smile、broad shoulders、a broad meaning。
4.include 改為includes
include 的主語(yǔ)是主句主語(yǔ) corporate culture,所以應(yīng)該是第三人稱的單數(shù)形式。
5.去掉to
address解釋為“對(duì)某人說(shuō)話”時(shí)是及物動(dòng)詞,無(wú)需加介詞。
6.after改為until
根據(jù)上下文的邏輯,文章是說(shuō),只有當(dāng)求職者真正在公司工作了幾個(gè)月后,才能了解它的文化。
7.去掉the
前文沒(méi)有提及,這里research是類指,而非特指。
8.on改為in
這里的介詞并不是和動(dòng)詞spend搭配,而是和名詞詞組work environment一起作狀語(yǔ)。
9.去掉for
fit作為動(dòng)詞時(shí),如果是及物動(dòng)詞,可以說(shuō)fit something/somewhere。如果作為形容詞,可以說(shuō) be fit for something,但是沒(méi)有fit for 的用法。
10.voice前面a
have a voice in something 的意思是“有權(quán)利對(duì)某事發(fā)表看法”。這個(gè)詞組中的不定冠詞不能省略。
