　　答案:

　　1.confided 后面加to

　　向某人透露……，應該用confide to sb

　　2.loved改為 beloved

　　loved只能用于被動語態，表示動作。不論是做表語還是定語，都只能用beloved。

　　3.surrounding改為surroundings

　　“surrounding” 是形容詞，意思是“周圍的”，當它做名詞是，意思是“環境”，只能用surroundings。

　　4.將and改為who/that

　　這是一個強調句型，意思是“那個守舊的王子落伍了”。

　　5.在mistaken后面加上for

　　“把……誤以為……”應該用mistake…for…。這句話的意思是：他把那棵樹當作普魯士的國王了。

　　6.that改為what

　　在這里what做代詞，引導賓語從句，做combat的賓語。

　　7.將with改為in

　　In the name of 以為“以……名義”，為固定搭配。這里意思是：以進步為名義恣意的破壞。

　　8.在urban前加from

　　Protect …from…為固定搭配，指的是“保護……不受……的侵害”

　　9.once 前加 was

　　這里“his” 代表“his voice”，很明顯這里缺少謂語動詞。這里指“雖然他的聲音曾經在荒野里哭喊，但是卻無人聆聽”。

　　10.將became改為become

　　See…do sth 為固定搭配
