Question

sat语法题目求助！

Caricaturists evoke humor by blending the realistic with the comedy in protriaits.
标准答案里面是把这句话里面的with换成了and。为什么呢？ 不是blend固定搭配就是with 和 into么？

Answer 1

blend A and B 指“把A和B 结合起来使其不分彼此”，blend A with B 指“把 B 掺入到A中以使 A 变弱”。

 

本句指的是“漫画家在肖像画中通过把现实主义和喜剧艺术结合在一起描绘出幽默”，也就是说画中是既有现实主义也含喜剧艺术，二者你中有我，我中有你；而不是把讽刺艺术掺杂到现实主义中，让戏剧艺术冲谈现实主义。

 

另如：

 

• blend novels and films 把小说和电影结合在一起

• blend milk with water  把水搀杂到牛奶中

Answer 2

the realistic and the comedy are parallel
the meaning of the sentense is "combine the realistic and the comedy" I think
and i am not sure about the meaning of protriaits.

Hope it can help you

Answer 3

blend 也可以后接and

blend sth and sth 把某物和某物揉合到一起

Answer 4

A blend with B... A is blended withB... blend A and B...
若要用with的话应是 by the realistic blending with the comedy in protriaits
