选择题
The news about the terrible flood there greatly discouraged ______ there for a sight-seeing.
A.us from going
B.us to go
C.our going
D.our to go
答案
答案:A
此题考查动词搭配。discourage与encourage互为反义词。英语中说”鼓励某人做某事”时使用encourage sb to do sth , 但如果要表示”使某人没勇气做某事”时,不能想当然的以此类推:discourage sb to do sth , 这是不符合英语习惯的错误表达方式,其正确形式是:discourage sb from doing sth。
