应对
Some people think young people are more suitable to be leaders rather than old people.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
这个题目
学生写道如下一句:
I believe that elder people are more suitable to be leaders than young people with two reasons.
* be suitable to be leaders这个表达繁琐了。
* 更idiomatic的表达习惯时for two reasons。
* with (with更正为for) two reasons放在句子最后面不太好。不知道是用来修饰I believe的还是用来修饰elder people are more suitable的。因为,要么是“我的详细是出于两个原因”,要么是“年长的人更合适是出于两个原因”。
看下面
教师修改意见:
I believe that for two reasons elder people are more suited for leadership positions.
或者
For two reasons, I believe that elder people are more suited for leadership positions.
* 解决了上面的分析中的问题。
* 同时把suitable换成suited。人作为主语去适合岗位的时候,用suited更idiomatic。
* be suited for leadership positions符合“人作为主语去适合岗位”的搭配要求。
小总结:
* 状语的位置有讲究,不然意思不或者有歧义。
* 有些词汇有idiomatic的用法,靠语言经验积累。
* “适合领导角色/领导岗位”比“适合当领导”好听些吧。
