一道单选 来
While _______ for costs _______,my solicitor’s case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a ‘brilliant academic record’.（ ）
A.asked; awarded B.asking; awarded
C.asked; to be awarded D.asking; to be awarded

Answer 1

我选择答案A.While asking for costs awarded ,my solicitor’s case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a ‘brilliant academic record'.
用排除法做的,C和D中“TO BE AWARDED"明显不对不论是从语感还是从从句分析上来说,用一个词”AWARDED“省略了”WHICH IS"定语修饰COSTS,这里的COST不是译成“成本”而是“费用”,不选B的原因也很明显,逗号之后的半句的主语不是“my solicitor”（我的律师）,而是“ my solicitor’s case”（我律师的案例）,如果是 “my solicitor”则前面第一空用“ASKED",人可以被问及,但案件在我理解是具体事例不能被问及,倒是可以被提及或涉及",所以前面的空只能用“B”主动语态"ASKING"主语省略.
全句翻译为：当问及奖励的费用时,我律师这个案件中心很明显是围绕“我的成绩（学分）十分优秀”这个事实的.
