问题补充:
There are five pairs, but Im at a loss which to buy.
A. to be chosen
B. to choose from
C. to choose
D. for choosing
答案:
A. to be chosen
B. to choose from
C. to choose
D. for choosing
解析:
此题容易误选C,其实应选B。choose表示“选择”,其实是指“选择出来”(pick out),而不是指“从……选择”,要表示后者的意思,要用choose from,有时也用choose among。同样地,下面两例中的介词from也不可省略:
Here are some books for you to choose from.这些书可供你选择。
There are too many cakes to choose from.蛋糕太多了,不知要选哪个好。
比较:He didn know what to choose.他不知道选什么。
He didn know what to choose from.他不知道从哪儿去选。
