比如,下面这句话:
After you read the instruction, see whether there are answers that match the main idea.
可以把句子复杂化,改成:
After reading it, check the answers to see if any match what you believe to be the main idea.
其中it代替the instruction,一般的同学很难看出it指什么,尤其是it在指一个从句的情况下。(但是上文要明确出现theinstruction这个名词短语)
把whether改成if,让别人读这个句子的时候不仔细看以为是“如果”的意思,尤其是在略读(skim)的情况下很容易出现这种理解错误。
match本来是个动词,把if there are answers match改成if any match,让人一看以为match是个名词,前面的any是来修饰这个名词的。。。
What you believe to be是个插入语,也可以拿来误导人。
The purpose of it is to quickly form the idea of what the passage will be about
其中把its purpose is to改成了the purpose of it is to,可以使别人与it ia adj to do 这个句型混淆
