四選一

After hurrying up six flights of stairs, the technician began to ____.

  • panted
  • pants
  • panting
  • pant
看答案

pant

began to 後接原形動詞 pant。panted 是過去式或過去分詞;pants 作動詞時是第三人稱單數,作長褲名詞也不符合此處結構;panting 可用於 began panting,但不能放入本句已有 to 的位置。

同義改寫

The technician was panting after rushing up the office stairs. → The technician was breathing quickly and loudly through the mouth after rushing up the office stairs.
改寫保留 panting 所表示的張口、急促且有聲的呼吸,以及爬樓梯後的情境。
The exhibition staff wore black pants during the event. → The exhibition staff wore black trousers during the event.
此處 pants 採來源支持的美式「長褲」義,trousers 在這個服裝語境中指同樣的衣物。
