Jim didn't understand____.选择题 检举 | 今天 05:59 提问者： 童心未泯first | 浏览次数：24次
Awhich is the way to the museum shopping
B.why his wife always goes shopping
C.what was the way to the museun the station
D.how I could get to the station.
答：这将是一道有争议的题.在B与D之间.
请别关. 从主句主谓语序正常可排除C. 从逻辑上及时态上看,可能排除A.
从逻辑上讲,B对.从时态一致看,D对.
译：吉姆（原来）不理解（不明白）他夫人为什么总是去购物.
如果主句用了doesn't understand,则B为最佳.
用了过去时态,按主过从过,时态一致,从句也要用过去时：why his wife always went shopping. 而这里的从句是一般现在时.
我们知道,有个“真理”除外.如：the teacher said that the earth goes around the sun.
因为地球绕太阳转是“真理”,昨天、今天、明天,天天如此.
那么他夫人总是购物这件事情呢?也可以说是一个客观事实.昨天、今天、明天,都会发生.
所以选B不是没有道理的.
主句用didn't understand表示“刚才,过去”不理解.现在他理解了.
Jim now understands why his wife always goes shopping.
再来看D项.大家从主过从过,时态一致（包括从句语序正常）来判断,选择D,是完全正确的.
但是,句子的意思的,句子的逻辑呢?又不是很好.
译：吉姆当时不理解（不明白）我怎么能够到达车站.
我怎么不能到达车站呢?这都不理解?这啥意思啊?
如改为：Jim didn't understand how I was able to get to the station. (how I managed to get to the station/ how I succeeded in getting to the station), 就好一些：
吉姆不理解我是怎样到达车站的.
甚至我在想这个从句是不是还要用过去完成时态呢?
也许出题者并没有想这么多,就想到了主过从过,时态一致,至于句子的意思,逻辑上是否通顺,就不去考虑了.就很大多数答题者,只要选对了选项,至于句子翻译,就省了.
