二人对话:
Mike:Hi, look where you are going ! John: Oh,I'm terribly sorry.
A.I wasn't noticing.
B.I didn't notice.
我发现这道题网上有人选A,有人选B。
大家学校有些老师选A,有些老师说B正确,有些老师说2个都正确。
请教专家老师,到底是什么正确的额?假如2个都正确,2个含义的理解差别到底在哪儿?
应该选A.问题的重点在于wasn't noticing 有没留心,或因精神没办法集中而没注意到的意思,这是英语里容易见到的使用方法。B则只是没注意到,可能是多种缘由,可能不是没留心。所以,选A 最符合句子语境和英语惯用。请领会几个外媒例句:
1. I was afraid no one would laugh, and I wanted to pretend I wasn't noticing the audience. (假装没注意到观众)
2. I got some water in my boot. It got so cold that I wasn't noticing the pain anymore. It just became totally numb.靴子太凉了,以至于感觉不到疼痛了,脚都麻木了。
3. I was bummed I wasn’t noticing any big changes after 3 months and then this happened.
我非常难过,我居然没注意到三个月后的大变化,然后这所有就发生了。
