问题 选择题

It’s more than half a century _________ my grandfather joined the Party and became a servant to the people.

A.when

B.that

C.since

D.while

答案

答案:C

假若选B,将此句分析为强调句,那么若将此句还原为非强调句就应该是My grandfather joined the Party and became a servant to the people more than half a century. 很显然, 句中的 more than half a century 是一段时间,然而它修饰的谓语动词 joined…became 却是两个终止性动词,这显然不合适。其实,此题应选C,属于“It is+一段时间+since 从句”句型,句意为“我爷爷加入党组织成为人民的公仆已有半个多世纪了”。此句的主句谓语也可以用现在完成时态(has been),但在口语中多用一般现在时代替。
