Question

Increasinyly,nurse practitioners are () the heavy workload of physicians by performing medical tasks once thought to be the exclusive () of doctors.
D.reducing.embodiment
E.lessening.province
正确答案选E,但我觉得D也可以啊,求详解

Answer 1

我相信你明白为什么E是正确的,所以只说说为什么D有问题：
reducing的用法没错,reduce workload 是正确的搭配；问题在 embodiment 上；
先来看看 embodiment 的英文解释：If you say that someone or something is the embodiment of a quality or idea,you mean that that is their most noticeable characteristic or the basis of all they do.
从上面的解释得知：A is the embodiment of B 这个句子中 B 应该是一种特质或理论,而这种特质或理论经由A体现出来；
再看一个例句：
A baby is the embodiment of vulnerability.//婴儿是脆弱的体现.
脆弱这种特质经由婴儿体现出来；
而不能说成：Vulnerability is the embodiment of a baby.
同样的道理,我们不能说：Performing medical tasks is the embodiment of doctors.
不明白还可以继续追问哈~
