Question

这句话有什么错？

The primatologist has argued that sustained observation of a few animals in contrast to intermittent observation of many animals, provides better behavioral data.

Answer 1

observation on sth. 对。。的观察，介词用on而不是of

改成：The primatologist has argued that sustained observation (on) a few animals in contrast to intermittent observation (on) many animals, provides better behavioral data.

provides没有错，在宾语从句（是主句argue的宾语）中作谓语，从句的主语是sustained observation of a few animals（对少量动物的持续观察）

直译句意：灵长类行为学家（真的这个词看不懂问题不大，知道是某种什么专家）争论道（即提出某观点的意思），对少量动物的持续观察相比起对大量动物间歇性的观察，前者能提供更多行为类的数据。

意译：灵长类行为学家提出，对少量动物进行持续性的观察比对大量动物进行间歇性的观察，更能（为人们）提供较多行为方面的数据。

provides 改为 providing
