1.十年工作经验
ten-year experience
ten years' experience
ten years experience 这三种表述方法是不是一样,还是有区别
Cindy个人理解涉及到名词所有格的问题
参考答案:这三种用法都没有错.ten years' experience从语法上来讲,我认为肯定没有错,只是比较少用而已吧.
2.this time of year "每年这个时候",而 this time of the year 是"今年这个时候"这个说法是否正确
参考结论:正确.
3 A.有一位热心词友的见解,大家讨论一下是不是正确的:drop in 本身是不及物动词短语,后面决不能直接加宾语,拜访人加on, 拜访地方加at
所以应是she dropped in on a good friend of hers 也不必加see,多此一举.
参考答案:drop in, drop in on 与drop in at的区别
drop in 意为"顺便走访" He often drops in for tea. 他经常顺便来喝茶.
drop in on 后接人意为"顺便拜访某人".
She dropped in on me yesterday.
drop in at后接表示地点的名词意为"顺便来(去)某处看看".
Tom usually drops in at my place on his way home. 答题时要注意drop in后所接的名词表示的意思.
B.我有经验,用i have experience就行了,无需完成时,因为它表状态.
Cindy个人见解:可是你要想一下那个语境,我有10年的审计经验,这个动作非常有可能还是持续下去.以及这个动作对现在的影响.所以我用现在完成时,你可以查一下现在完成时的用法..同时和一般现在进行比较..
参考答案:他的理解和我的理解都没有错,只是要看具体语境进行判断.
