Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States, was famous for a man of
few words. He knew what he should talk and when he should not. It was very hard of anyone
to enjoytalking with him. One evening he was inviting to dinner. A lady sitting next to him past the sugar
for his coffee. “Mr President,” she said.” Today a friend of me said that I couldn’t get much than
two words out of you. I had said I can, and we made a bet.” “You lost,” answered the president.

Answer 1

【答案】在30th前加the；for—as；what—when；of—for；inviting—invited；past—passed；me—mine；much—more；had said去掉had；lost—lose
【解析】①在30th前加the，序數(shù)詞前應(yīng)加定冠詞。
②for—as，be famous for ...意為“為……而出名”；be famous as ...意為“作為……而出名”。
③what—when，從下文and when的信息可知。
④of—for，It is +adj. +for sb. to do...為固定用法。
⑤inviting—invited，此處應(yīng)為被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。
⑥past—passed，pass為動(dòng)詞，而past為介詞。
⑦me—mine，我的一個(gè)朋友，應(yīng)說(shuō)a friend of mine。
⑧much—more，more than意為“比······多······”。
⑨had said去掉had，根據(jù)made可知時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí)。
⑩lost—lose，本句為引號(hào)內(nèi)的說(shuō)話內(nèi)容�？梢岳斫鉃榭陀^事實(shí)，“你輸了”。如果用過(guò)去時(shí)表示你曾經(jīng)輸過(guò)。
