Question

问个关于engage的英语填空题！

I think it is essential for the UK to have more young people who learn Chinese and understand China in order to become full global citizens ( ) in the construction of the 21st century.
括号里选填“engaging”或“engaged”？？？
请说明理由！

Answer 1

个人觉得用engaging好！
1.global citizens 与 engage是主谓关系，sb engage in sth 表示“……从事……”；
2.sb be engaged in sth 虽然符合语法，但是其意思为“……被……吸引”，在此句中不合语境。

Answer 2

engaged in 吧。。。engaged in 是从事，固定搭配意思上说的通，而且凭语感我也这么选，engaging 是主动，是某样东西engage了人，这里主语是UK，相当于人啦，说不通。比如说The book engaged my full attention，如果一个句子一book做主语，the book ……，engaging my full attention。

Answer 3

engaged
engaged是形容词，engaged in sth意思是“从事、参与”的意思。
下面是柯林斯词典上的解释：
Someone who is engaged in or engaged on a particular activity is doing that thing. (FORMAL)

Answer 4

engaged~
be engaged in 的意思是“从事于，致力于”~
相当于engage oneself in，oneself于engage来说是被动的。

Answer 5

应该填engaging
因为engaging跟global citizens 是主动的关系
