Classic Intention Movement
    In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an ppointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest’s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.
    答案:
    1 將can改為must。根據(jù)上下文的意思“主人有一個約會,必須離開”是客觀要求,而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的問題。
    2 not后面加to。desire 后應(yīng)該加動詞不定式to do something。
    3 將of 改為about。care about意思為“對…在意,在乎”,而care of 意思為“轉(zhuǎn)交”。(覺得還可以直接去掉 of,care 本身也有在乎的意思,可是答案不這么寫,你怎么看嘞?)
    4 刪掉and或者to。
    5 將therefore 改為 yet或but。這兩部分之間應(yīng)是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系。
    6 將raise改為rise。raise 是及物動詞,后面必須加賓語,而且在此與文章意思不符。rise意為“起身”,“站起來”,符合文義。
    7 在as 和 about之間加上if或者though。此處的意思是主人身子往前傾,雙手抓著椅子,好像就要站起來一樣。as if/ though to do something 意思為“仿佛要做什么事情”。
    8 將make改為perform或do。此處考查搭配問題,動詞make與前面的act不能搭配。
    9將the改為a。a fraction of a second 意思為非常短暫的時間。
    10 將post改為posture
