题目解答
答案
At that time never have they realized that it had been so hard for them to start a small business.那时他们从来没有意识到他们创办一个小企业是如此困难。从句子翻译中无法看出正确选项,所以需要分析句子结构或捕捉关键词。先看题目,出现关键时间状语“at that time”在那时,这通常与过去的时态相呼应,再结合后文中的过去完成时“ it had been so hard ”,所以排除掉选项C和D的现在完成时;再看选项,均为never置于句首,其后习惯于用倒装语序,即一般疑问句的顺序,将助动词did提前,never did they realize,所以本题答案为A。
解析
步骤 1:分析句子结构
句子的主干是“_ _ that it had been so hard for them to start a small business”,其中“that it had been so hard for them to start a small business”是一个宾语从句,修饰前面的动词。
步骤 2:确定时态
根据句子中的时间状语“at that time”(在那时),以及宾语从句中的“had been”(过去完成时),可以推断出主句的时态应该是过去时。
步骤 3:分析倒装结构
句子中出现了“never”(从不),这是一个否定副词,当它位于句首时,句子需要使用部分倒装结构。部分倒装结构是将助动词或情态动词提到主语之前。
步骤 4:选择正确的选项
根据以上分析,选项中只有A选项符合过去时态和部分倒装结构的要求,即“never did they realize”。
