英語專八改錯突擊練習試題

　　Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as ten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1__appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too __2__short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous.

　　The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3__There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4__by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5__have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6__style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year, a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__on the law and women around the world run to obey. The __8__decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.

　　Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9__waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10__

　　參考答案及解析:

　　1. strucked改為struck或者stricken過去分詞形式有誤。strike的過去式是struck，過去分詞為struck或者stricken。 2. date改為dated或者outdated 3. on other hand 改為 on the other hand 4. entire改為entirely 副詞修飾形容詞different，并與different一起修飾age。 5. minority改為majority從上下文以及常識判斷，多半男性成功地抵制了改變他們服裝款式的.企圖，即多年來，男性大服裝款式跟女性服飾相比沒有多大的變化。 6. it改為themthem指代the great majority of men。 7. fewer改為few此處沒有比較的意味。 8.去掉on lay down為習語，表示“規定(規則，原則，法規等)”。 9. sometime改為 sometimes。10. height改為high形容詞作be 的表語。
