專八改錯練習(xí)第八篇：

One of our main arguments is that we in Western countries actually have part to play in causing the __1__
problems of the Third World. Many Third World
countries are saddle with immense debt burdens, for __2__
example. They were lent money with low interest rates __3__
in the 1970s, when money flooded into Western banks
from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to
the Third World. The interest rates have then been risen __4__
dramatically. So you have a situation where a country
in many cases can’t even repay the interest, letting alone __5__
the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example
from what I have come across is a country in West
Africa where the consumption, the local consumption
of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if they are
imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. __6__
The peanut is a major source of protein in this country.
So you have people go hungry as a result of that. __7__
The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the
United States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced
a surplus of milk which we do not know what to do with.
We have enough milk, more milk than we can
cope with in the Western World. And also that milk __8__
was transformed into dried milk powder and then taken
back to this country to help feed children who were
suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely __9__
economic relationship that we have got ourselves in __10__
the Third World.

參考答案及解析(反白可見):
1.在part前加上a
詞組have a part to play in…的意思是“有份兒”
改為saddled
此處為被動語態(tài)，應(yīng)該把動詞變?yōu)檫^去分詞形式。
3.把with改為at
此處介詞與interest rates搭配。
4.刪除been（這里應(yīng)該是把risen改為rising，答案應(yīng)該錯了）
rise是不及物動詞，不用于被動語態(tài)。
5.把letting改為let
let alone 意思為“更不用提”。
6.把imported改為exported
下文說花生可以帶來外匯收益，出口才會帶來外匯，所以此處應(yīng)用exported。
7.把have改為had
上文提到該國禁止本國消費花生這件事用的是過去時。
8.把also改為so。
必須把與此相關(guān)的幾個句子聯(lián)系在一起理解，上文說：花生出口到英國和美國去喂了牛，而牛又產(chǎn)出了過剩的牛奶，我們不知道怎么處理這些牛奶。在西方世界，我們的牛奶夠多了，多得無法處理。本句說：這些牛奶就被制成奶粉拿到該國去喂養(yǎng)那些營養(yǎng)不良的兒童。由此可見本句與上文是因果關(guān)系，不能用also來連接。
ly改為insane
此處表達“荒唐的經(jīng)濟關(guān)系”insane修飾的是relationship，而非economic，因此要用形容詞代替。
10.把in改為into
詞組get in 雖然也可以表達“ 進入，陷入”，但是in為副詞，后面不能跟地點，所以應(yīng)該改為into?
