The grammatical words which play so large a part in Englishgrammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different fromthe lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may seem 1.______most obvious is that grammatical words have “less meaning”, butin fact some grammarians have called them “empty” words as 2.______opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather 3.______misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like the 4.______is not the name of something as man is, it is very far away from being 5.______meaningless; there is a sharp difference in meaning between “manis vile” and “the man is vile”, yet theis the single vehicle of this 6.______difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among themselvesas the amount of meaning they have even in the lexical 7.______sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “littlewords.” But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing 8.______the grammatical words of English, when we consider that we havelexical words as go, man, say, car. Apart from this, however, 9.______there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainlydo create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is 10.______illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose oftelegrams and newspaper headlines.
正确答案:
1.√
2.but改为and。 根据上下文可知这里是递进关系。
3.in改为to。 as opposed to为固定短语,“与…相反”。
4.misled改为misleading。 mislead用来修饰way,要用现在分词,表示“误导人的”而misled是“被误导”。
5.去掉away。 far from为固定短语,表示“绝非,远不是”。
6.single改为only。 single单一的,一个的,强调“一个”。only惟一。
7.as改为in。 differ from…in…表示“在…(方面)与…不同”,
8.mean改为means。 by no means根本不…,是固定短语。
9.在have和lexical中间加such,或将as改为like。 such as是固定搭配,作“诸如”讲。
10.number改为amount/deal。 a number of后面要跟复数名词。
