21、意:书法的起源是不为人所知的。句中的谓语动词为 are,故 origin 也要用复数。4as/into 句意:在秦始皇把中国统一为一个国家之后,这种艺术形式才广为流传。此处用 as (作为 )或 into (进入 )皆可。5making 本句真正的谓语动词是 simplified 和 were set,此处 make 在句中为非谓语动词, make 的逻辑主语为主句的主语 He 和 regular rules,并与其为主动关系,故应用现在分词 making。6freely 此处修饰谓语动词 is written,故应用 free 的副词形式。7.appreciated 句意:如今,中国书法再次
22、成为全国性的学科,是受到世界各国的高度赞赏的艺术形式。本句真正的谓语动词是 is, appreciate 与其主语 an art form 为被动关系,故应用过去分词 appreciated。8what 本句为主语从句,从句中又缺少主语,故应用连词 what 引导。9is needed 句意:对于业余爱好者来说尝试毛笔书法是非常有乐趣的,但是想做到擅长书法的话,就需要多年的练习和天赋。根据句意可知,此处的 practice 和 natural talent与 need 为被动关系,并且本句为叙述客观事实,所以时态为一般现在时。10benefit “be of(great, much .)抽象名词”这一结构相当于“be该抽象名词相对应的形容词” 。此处 benefit 意为“利益;好处” ,为不可数名词,不需要变形。
