09专八改错原题

Proofreading & Error Correction:

The previous section has shown how quickly a rhyme passes

from one school child to the next and illustrates the further difference           (1)

between shcool lore and nursery lore. In nursery lore a verse, learnt            

in early childhood, is not usually passed on again when the little listener       (2)

has grown up, and has children of their own, or even grandchildren.             (3)

The period between learning a nursery rhyme and transmitting              

It may be something from twenty to seventy years. With the playground        (4)

lore, therefore, a rhyme may be excitedly passed on whtin the very hour      (5)

it is learnt; and in the general, it passes between children of the                    (6)

same age, or nearly so, since it is uncommon for the difference in age

between playmates to be more than five years. If therefore, a playground

rhyme can be shown to have been currently for a hundred years, or             (7)

even just for fifty, it follows that it has been retransmitting over

 (1)illustrate改为illustrated（与前文的shown保持一致）
 (2) the 改为a （此次应该用不定冠词表示泛指）
 (3)their改为his（代词与前文a little listener在单复数上保持一致）
 (4)something 改为anything（这里anything from...to...表示大约在...之间）
 (5)therefore改为however （根据上下文逻辑关系）
 (6) in the general去掉the （习惯用法in general 表示总的来说，一般不用冠词）
 (7) currently 改为current （这里起的是表语的作用，需要形容词而不是副词）
 (8) it has passed改为 it has been passed （主动改为被动，与前文保持一致）
 (9) live 改为 alive （live作形容词讲为“现场直播的”意思，这样显示需要用alive)
 (10) to let alone改为 let alone (let alone 为习惯搭配，意思是“更不用说”前面不需要加to)
