Question

英语选择题这道题为啥选C不选其它？？

He went into the forest with a gun in his hand lest he ____by wild animals.

A. was attacked
B. would be attacked
C. be attacked
D. was being attacked

Answer 1

lest是个连词唯恐避免的意思，其后面的动作既不是已经发生也不是将要发生更像是客观讲述所以用be动词

Answer 2

He went into the forest with a gun in his hand lest he____by wild animals.A.wasattackedB.wouldbeattacked C.be attacked D.was being attacked

之所以用C，是因为句子前面的主体是过去式，所以这里也应该用过去时，而担心被攻击所以要用被动式

Answer 3

lest 连词，译作以免、免得。后常加should+v原型，表示虚拟语气。
这里是虚拟语气，省略了should，所以用be动词原型。

Answer 4

因为此处lest（唯恐，生怕）引导的是一个状语从句，此时语法规则要求状语从句里的谓语要么用动词原形，要么用should+动词原形。
