One evening two German were walking in the street together. They tried to find a chance steal something. The clock struck 12. Most of the people had going to bed. Quietly they came to a house. There were no lights in the house but it seemed that everyone in the house were asleep. Standing at the front gate, one said in German to the another, ＂You wait here. I’ll go around to the back door and then get into the house...＂ Suddenly out of the house ran a dog. The two men were frightening and ran away as fast as they can. They dared not to stop until they got to a lonely place ＂I hadn’t expecting the dog could understand German,＂ one man said.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】本文主要讲了两个德国人去偷东西，遇到一只狗的幽默故事。

1.处：German→ Germans German德国人，是可数名词，前面有two，故此用复数Germans。故把German改为Germans。

2.处：chance后加to a chance to do sth.表示＂一个做某事的机会＂，故在chance后加to。

3.处：going→ gone 句意：多数人已经去睡了。此处用过去完成时态，故把going改为gone。

4.处：but→ and 句意：屋子里没有灯而且似乎屋子里的所有人都睡着了。句子之间是递进关系而非转折关系。故把but改为and。

5.处：were→ was everyone作主语，后面的谓语动词用单数形式，故把were改为was。

6.处：another→ other 前面指出是两个人，故两个中的另一个用the other，故把another改为other。

7.处：frightening→ frightened 表示他们被吓坏了，是被动语态，故把frightening改为frightened。

8.处：can→ could 文章通篇用过去时态，故此处也用一般过去时态，故把can改为could。

9.处：去掉第一个to dare为情态动词，后不能加不定式。故去掉第一个to。

10.处：expecting→ expected 此处用了过去完成时，应用动词的-ed形式，故用expected。
