All the spectators buzzed noisily and everyone craned their neck to witness
what this man looked like ______ bold enough to seduce a princess.
首先說明答案 (C)
(C) to have been
■ 根據前後文,本句的句意應該是「所有觀眾都鬧哄哄,每個人都伸長了脖子,想看看
這個人是什麼樣子的,竟然敢勾引公主。」
因此判斷原始的句子應該是用表「結果」的從屬連接詞連接的副詞子句:
All the spectators buzzed noisily and everyone craned their neck to witness
what this man looked like [so that he had been] bold enough to seduce a
princess.
[...] 裡的動詞時態,可以用過去完成式,與前面的過去式動詞 buzzed, craned 等構成
先後時間的比較。而在實際寫作上,可以用過去式替代過去完成式。但是由於本題最後答
案是完成式形式,所以目前採過去完成式。
■ so that + clause 為副詞子句,可以用來表目的或表結果:
1. with the aim that; in order that 為的是;以便:
She worked hard so that everything would be ready by 6 o'clock. 她拚命幹以便能
到 6 點時把一切都準備好。
2. with the result that; to the extent that 結果;以致;因此:
Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he was dead. 再
也沒聽到他的消息,因此我們有些懷疑他是否死了。
目前依據原文語意,應該採取表結果的用法。
■ 表結果的副詞子句可以簡化為表結果的不定詞片語:
so that he had been bold enough to seduce a pricess
-> to have been bold enough to seduce a pricess
■ 若從上下文中可明確看出所指之人時,不定詞片語的意義上主詞可以省略不寫,如本
題中原本 so that he 中的 he 在不定詞片語中被省略。若擔心語意不明的話可以加上
for him [to have been]
綜合以上說明,(C) 可以選為答案。
