The anti-Government demonstrations were said to have been by unarmed persons

hose intentions were peaceful.
這句我在想 中間不用加一個hold嗎 變成
The anti-Government demonstrations were said to have been held by unarmed pers
ons whose intentions were peaceful.
如果沒加held 那麼舉行的意思不就不見了嗎
那裡唸起來感覺起來就少了一個字?!

你早給 source 的話我就能早點回(不給的我一般是直接略過沒漏打字。那也是表達方式之一 （再加上是 1947 ，不同年代的用詞會有些變化。這寫法在 現代 還是有）https://tinyurl.com/ycbpyxbr (畢竟是 be動詞(變化之一)

沒人回答我的問題QQ

你說得沒錯

這段文字出自於1947/3/29的紐約時報https://www.uta.edu/accounting/faculty/tsay/feb28nyt.htm所以真的是記者漏打了一個字?!
