英语选择(先讲解,do not have to/only 的用法再翻译整个句子) They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre the cinema ,or the opera,_____to discover ,perhaps ,that the show is disappointing. A.thus B.just C.only D.even 答案是C
don't have to 就是不必要的意思. only to 是一种相对固定的用法,就是承接两个句子,一般后面的句子都含有惊讶,意外等意味.比如:they arrived at the party half hour later,only to find all were away.他们迟到了半小时到聚会,可是却发现所有人都走了. 你的那个句子意思是:早知道节目不好看,他们就不必花大价钱买贵的座位票了.
