问题单项选择题

In the following sentences, which recipient in English becomes modifier in Chinese（）

A. It is raining.

B. We all joined in the battle.

C. He bought tea, coffee, eggs, milk, etc.

D. John hit the pickpocket on the head.

答案

参考答案：D

解析：

本题主要考查对受事语和修饰语(Recipients and modifiers)的了解。

在英语中，动作承受者和动作承受的身体部位分别由作为宾语的名词和作为状语的介词短语来表述，宾语和状语都不能少。而在汉语中，仅用名词短语就可表达英语中用名词、代词或介词短语表达的意义。在“John hit the pickpocket on the head. 约翰打中小偷的脑袋。”一句中，英语的承受者在汉语译文中成了修饰语。
