Question

英语选择题。选哪个为什么？

If there was one thing John couldn't do __________ ,it was coffee
A without B with it C with D without
A without it B with it C with D without

Answer 1

选C。
If there was one thing John couldn't do with ,it was coffee.
如果说约翰有不能忍受的东西，那就是咖啡。

=If there was one thing (that) John couldn't do with ,it was coffee.

定语从句，that在从句中做do with的宾语，可以省略。
do with表示“处理，忍受”。
do without表示“没有...也行；摈弃”，不合题意。

我先查词典：
do without (sb/sth)
(used esp with can and could 尤与can和could连用) manage without sb/sth 不用或没有某人[某事物]也行
He can't do without (the services of) a secretary. 他不能没有秘书（的协助）.
If we can't afford a car, we'll just have to do without (one). 我们要是买不起汽车, 也就只好不用（汽车）了.
I could have done without being (ie I wish I hadn't been) woken up at 3 o'clock in the morning. 其实用不着在清晨3点钟就把我叫醒吧.
................................................................分割线..........................................................
do with sth
(a) (used with can and could to express a need or desire for sth 与can和could连用, 表示需要或希望得到某事物)
You look as if you could do with (ie as if you need) a good night's sleep. 你看来似乎需要好好睡上一夜.
I could do with a stiff drink! 我想要一杯烈酒.
(b) (used in the negative with can and could 用於否定句中, 与can和could配合使用) tolerate sth 忍受某事物
I can't do with his insolence. 我忍受不了他那傲慢无礼的态度.
If there's one thing I can't do with, it's untidiness. 假若说有什麽东西我无法忍受的话, 那就是不整洁.

英语选择题。选哪个为什么？
If there was one thing John couldn't do __________ ,it was coffee
A without it B with it C with D without
答：此题有争议。参考答案很有可能是D，因为出题者很有可能是根据上面词典中的那个例句改写的题句。 C也是通的，但就生活实际而言，咖啡不象芥末，很少有人受不了它的。
析：John... 逗号为止为限制性定语从句，前面省略了在从句中作宾语的关系代词that,所以排除AB。
译：C：如果有什么东西约翰无法忍受的话，那就是咖啡。
D：如果有什么东西约翰不能没有的（少不了的）话，那就是咖啡。

Answer 3

选择A，这句话的意思是如果这儿没有什么（它）约翰就不能做事，那就是咖啡。这句话也就是说如果没有咖啡的话，约翰就什么事也做不成，without 在这儿是没有的意思。do with 处理，在这不符合语境。

Answer 4

选C，do with,忍受，想要，处理，对付过去。如果有约翰不能忍受的东西，那就是咖啡。

Answer 5

D without
John couldn't do __________ 是定从,修饰one thing
couldn't do without sth. 没有某物就不行
如果有一样东西是约翰离不了的,那就是咖啡。
