Question

我有个SAT语法问题，希望热心朋友帮忙！ 谢谢！

1。French mountain honey “made” from linden blossoms, which are “sometimes
called” "lime blossoms", “have” a “distinctively” citrus flavor.

引号表示划线部分。

答案是“have”，可我觉得“distinctively”不对，因为它是副词，难道“citrus”在这
里作形容词吗？

2。Uncertain how to proceed with the scene, the actors stopped, awaiting for further instructions from the director.

答案将“Uncertain how to proceed with the scene, the actors stopped, awaiting for” 改为“Because they were uncertain how to proceed with the scene, the actors stopped and awaited”，
我选的是“Uncertainty about how to proceed with the scene stopped the actors to await”，这个不是更简洁吗？为什么不选呢，是不是因为它把主语改为“Uncertainty”错了呢？

Answer 1

1。French mountain honey “made” from linden blossoms, which are “sometimes
called” "lime blossoms", “have” a “distinctively” citrus flavor.
---------改写成has,因为 honey 做主语是单数。

2。Uncertain how to proceed with the scene, the actors stopped, awaiting for further instructions from the director.

---------await是及物动词，后面不加for, await==wait for- - -
祝你愉快。

您的回答不是我上面的问题，可以解答我上面提出的问题吗？谢谢！

追答

1 distinctively” citrus flavor.
----副词修饰形容词distinctively” citrus distinctively==very
2 Uncertainty是名词，这里不可能作为分词结构存在。
再说， Uncertain how to proceed with the scene, the actors stopped, awaiting for further instructions from the director.唯一错的就是awaiting for,改成waiting for 或者 awaiting 就对了。

Uncertain how to proceed with the scene, the actors stopped, awaiting ====As they were uncertain -- - - - 在语法上都是正确的。我不明白，你到底纠结什么？

谢谢您的回复，可是在“Uncertainty about how to proceed with the scene stopped the actors to await”，中，uncertainty 是主语，“about how to proceed with the scene ”用来修饰uncertainty, 句子化简后为“Uncertainty stopped the actors to await...”，请指出我的理解哪里错了呢？

谢谢！：）

你好。应该是：His uncertainty about how to proceed with the scene stopped the actor and caused him to await.
1 我们只用stop sb. from doing sth,（-----不让某人做某事）， 但没有stop sb.to do sth这个概念。所以，你必须在await前面使用and caused him (to await)这样的补充。也就是：
--------uncertainty stopped him and caused him to await------uncertainty控制两个谓语动词：stopped和caused. 我再说一次，英语中没有 stop sb.to do sth，只有stop to do sth.
你的句子也可以这样改写：Because of his uncertainty about how to proceed with the scene , the actor stopped to await.
-------我现在明白了你的意思，呵呵。让你等了such a long time. Sorry.
