He said he was from Birmingham and that I was the only person who has treated him in such a friendly way.In the fact,Birmingham is the largest city which lies near my hometown.He told me that he was in need of money return home.Not knowing how many money I had,I told him I'd give him whatever was on my purse.He prayed I'd have ￡47.When I opened my purse I found I had exact ￡47!I offered the man all of his money.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】1.句意：我偶然遇见一个独自坐在长椅上的人，seat作动词时，表示“向……提供座位，使……就座”，所以要表达某人落座应使用被动语态：sb be seated; 如果一定要使用主动语态，可以用sit这个词，故把seating改为sitting或seated.

2.句意：我笑了笑打声招呼，前后两个动作是承接的关系，故将but改为and.

3.根据句意“He said he was from Birmingham and that I was the only person who has treated him in such a friendly way.他说我是唯一一个用这样友好的方式跟他打招呼的人。”，全文用的都是过去时，且打招呼这个动作又发生在他说话之前，属于“过去的过去”，用过去完成时，故将has改为had.

4.in fact是固定搭配，中间不能加冠词，故将the去掉.

5.句意：Birmingham是在我家乡附近最大的城市，这里which后引导的是修饰city的定语从句，又因先行词中含有最高级largest，所以不能用which引导，只能用that引导，故将which改为that.

6.句意：他告诉我他需要钱回家，这里宾语从句中出现了两个谓语动词：was,return，需要将第二个谓语动词变为非谓语动词，又根据句意可知“回家”是目的，所以把return变为to do不定式做目的状语，故在return前加to.

7.money是不可数名词，不能用many修饰，故将many改为much.

8.in sb’s purse在某人的钱包里，固定介词短语搭配，故将on改为in.

9.句意：我发现正好有47英镑，这里exact要变为副词修饰动词had,故将exact改为exactly.

10.句意：我把我所有的钱都给了他，这里的money是“我”的，故将his改为my.
