一道SAT语法题
The psychologist states that most people want the same things:interesting and meaningful work,respect,and to have them be loved for themselves alone.
(A) interesting and meaningful work,respect,and to have them be loved for themselves alone
(B) to have interesting and meaningful work,respect,and loved for themselves alone
(C) work that has interest and is meaningful,to have respect,and to be loved for themselves alone
(D) interesting and meaningful work,respect,and their own love
(E) to have interesting and meaningful work,to be respected,and to be loved for themselves alone
选E
D为什么不行?

Answer 1

因为the same things,和interesting and meaningful work, respect, and to have them be loved for themselves alone是同位语,同时做want的宾语,want的用法是want sth.,want to do sth.根据这个分析,E最适合.
同时respect作为名词,不如to be respected合适,因为后者是被尊重的意思,更符合原文的意思.
