134. Canadian scientists have calculated that one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite, while each year sixteen buildings can be expected to sustain damage from such objects.
(A) one human being should be struck every nine years by a meteorite
(B) a human being should be struck by a meteorite once in every nine years
(C) a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
(D) every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite
(E) every nine years a human being should be struck by a meteorite
Ans:D
請問各位大大
我不懂為什麼ABE不能用should?為什麼要用未來式?
請各位幫忙解答好嗎? 謝謝

句意大概是 科學家算出大約每九年會有一個人被隕石打到
當每一年有16個建築物被預期........(看不懂了,請牛人相助)
原題的objects是指meteorite嗎？
若是 是否主動詞不一致？
若否 object是？
should 大約就看成假設句的話
則句意 科學家算出的機率是事實 用直述句即可

煩請牛人不吝賜教

想請教各位，每次在這一題必敗就是 C 和 D 的選項。
我還是搞不懂：

a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
一流星每九年就會打中一人
和
every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite
每九年就有一人被一流星打中

我分不清楚句意，為什麼 D 是對的？
請問有沒有清楚一點的解說？

連著後面半句看：
"while each year sixteen buildings can be expected to sustain damage from such objects"
與前面構成對稱結構，所以刪 (A)(B)(C)；另外，選項(A)中，once 是 redundant.

我覺得 基本上will代表"會"或是"可能"
但是should字面意思是, 有了這個理論, 未來"應該要"...
但是理論上打中的機率不是絕對會發生...

對應一下while引導句子裡...can be expected
這個意思是等同於will, 而非should
如此而已

另外就D來說
while前後確實對仗漂亮
但是這好像不是必須喔...

=========================================
想請教各位，每次在這一題必敗就是 C 和 D 的選項。
我還是搞不懂：

a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
一流星每九年就會打中一人 (再過九年一流星就會打中一人)
和
every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite
每九年就有一人被一流星打中

我分不清楚句意，為什麼 D 是對的？

==========================================

藍色是我理解的句意, 謝謝 ~

先看到should,說人應該會被隕石打到,似乎不太人道,刪除 (A) (B) (E); 剩下 (C) (D) 比較長短 => (D) : 被動結構,與 while 子句呼應

Ans:D
請問 (C) 為什麼不行呢? 文法上有什麼錯誤嗎?

a meteorite will strike one human being once in every nine years
跟
every nine years a human being will be struck by a meteorite
是一樣的意思, 不是嗎? (sorry, 看了之前10th版的解釋還是不懂)

[dibert8]

以 (C) 的句意,計算精確得不太合理.

OG 的解釋:
The phrase once in every nine years is needlessly wordy in B and C. Also, the language of C implies more than can reasonably be maintained: i.e., that a meteorite will strike one person, and no one else, exactly once during every nine-year period. Choice D is best: the phrasing is concise and free of unintended suggestions, and the use of the indefinite article in a human being is appropriate for describing what is expected to be true only on the average.

句意是每九年一次!
就直接講 every night years就好了。
沒必要再加 in

in every night years 表示在這每九年的其中一年!
句意上不對(也許就是OG說的太過精確)

once的部份 如果表達每一段時間一次
也沒看過後面加in

所以我怎麼看都覺得那個in很怪! 所以我就沒選C!

至於我當初也是跟你再CD間徘徊!因為我猜想every night years的位置
到底會不會影響句意! 後來證明我想太多!! ㄏ哈!
