[問題]2004年5月文法Q38

[mitori]

38.Evidence (from ancient) fossils (indicates) the scorpion may (had been) among the first (land) animals.

答案是C請問該怎麼改好呢?

[茱莉]

may後面應該要接原形動詞喔

[mitori]

謝謝回答

[molecular]

應該不是這樣喲!!
請見下面這個句子:
Without doubt,he may had been a terrible drinker and womanizer but,less of these are known about him, he will forever be remembered for the pop-star look,attractions and the greatest stardom of the 60s he brought into football,he will forever be adored the sake of beautiful game he played successfully,no other player of his generation will do better than BEST,such an old great player of great intellect comparable to the present modern great players.

出自BBC

再看這句:
Pakistan, itself a nuclear power, acknowledged Tuesday that several of its nuclear scientists may had shared sensitive technology with Iran, but insisted the government never authorized it.

出自CNN

所以may的後面應該可以使用過去式哩!!

[茱莉]

對不起>_<''

我不知道了耶

好對不起喔 都給你回答錯了>_<

[mitori]

沒關西...還是很謝謝妳阿^^

[micki]

那照molecular 的舉例 這題不就完全沒有錯?

我也記得may後面要接原形動詞

[Charmin]

快多花點時間在正規 written English文法吧~
沒多少時間準備CBT了, 類似上面的通俗英文寫法, 看看就好了~

may + V(原形) -> 表示可能性大的假設

1.例一：Without doubt,he may had been a terrible drinker and womanizer ,less of these are known about him, but he will forever be remembered for the pop-star look,attractions and the greatest stardom ….→簡譯：毫無疑問的他是個酒鬼和玩弄女性者…。在這段的前幾段寫到Best(人名) had battled alcoholism for many years, and despite a liver transplant in 2002, never conquered his weakness for drink.。我想他是酒鬼，是肯定的
2.例二：Pakistan, itself a nuclear power, acknowledged Tuesday several of its nuclear scientists may had shared sensitive technology with Iran , but insisted the government never authorized it.
3.發生在過去的過去的動作→用had+Vpp，以例二為例：其中acknowledged是過去的動作，而had shared是在acknowledged之前的動作，所以用had+Vpp
4.molecular所舉的例子，可能是表示1.該動作在過去的過去(例二)或2.肯定過去有做過(例一)（我不太確定，文法書上找不到相關資料），所以用have+had+Vpp
5.may/must + have+Vp.p→表示推測過去的行為(事)
6.may+V原形→表推測現在的事
7.這題應該要改成 may have been吧→Evidence (from ancient) fossils (indicates) the scorpion may (have been) among the first (land) animals.→簡譯：證據顯示指出蝎子可能是在首先的陸地動物之中
8.至於may後面應該要接原形動詞→是正確文法，可是在文法規則裡有許多的例外和慣用語...
