题目解答
答案
D. with his mouth wide open
解析
本题考查“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”这一复合结构的用法。解题的关键在于分析每个选项中宾语和宾语补足语的表达是否符合英语的语法和表达习惯。
选项A分析
“with a wide open mouth” 中 “a wide open mouth” 这种表达虽然语法上没有大错,但在描述某人处于某种状态时,用 “his” 来指代 “Jack” 的嘴更符合语境,强调所属关系,所以该选项不太合适。
选项B分析
“with a mouth wide and open” 中 “wide and open” 这种表述比较生硬,在英语中通常用 “wide open” 来表达 “张得很大” 的意思,所以该选项不符合英语表达习惯。
选项C分析
“with a open wide mouth” 存在语法错误,“open” 作为形容词修饰 “mouth” 时,前面应该用不定冠词 “an” 而不是 “a”,所以该选项不正确。
选项D分析
“with his mouth wide open” 是 “with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语” 的正确结构,“his mouth” 是宾语,“wide open” 是形容词短语作宾语补足语,描述 “his mouth” 的状态,且用 “his” 明确了所属关系,符合英语的表达习惯,所以该选项正确。
