Question

the next day she went back,dressed to kill,smelling[smelt]of expensive perfume.she chose an even cheaper article ,told the same story and her check was accepted without question.it only goes to show how easily we are impressed[influenced]by clthes.i wonder if stone age man chose his woman by the quality[character]of the bearskin she was wearing?
为什么不能用括号的那些词呢

Answer 1

1.smelling（dressed to kill：穿着极炫目的衣服吸引异性,这是做状语的,是固定短语）,为了表现人物的状态,固用ing形式做状语.
2.be impressed表示对...事或...人留下了很深的印象,该文意为：她的漂亮打扮的意图是为了给别人留下深刻的印象.而influenced强调事件的影响力；
3.quality表示穿着的价值概念,是说它的质地,品质的高贵；而character只是特征、特点的意思,与语意不符.
