※ 引述《tver ()》之铭言：
: "Currently, synesthesia is not completely understood, but it is believed to
: be in our genes. Scientists find that the white matter of synesthetes is
: organized differently from that of people without synesthesia. This may
: account for the differences in perception. Nontheless, some scientists think
: all people _____________ with synesthesia only to lose it later on in their
: lives."
: (A)were born (B)may be born
: (C)may have been born (D)may not have been born
: 空格处答案是C。请问为什么？A、B、C有什么不同？谢谢！
人+过去式就是在谈论已经不在人世的人 were + born
只能是在讲过去某人出生, 比如 史蒂芬霍金出生(was born)于1942年
先讲C与D, 文法上正确 现在进行式表示出生到现在
D很明显就有逻辑错误 没出生不可能有生理现象
问题是在要分辨B与C是哪一个
现在式表示事实 一般科学文章大多用现在式 当然这是个人意见
所以我认为B与C都可以
不过我有听说或是读过, 文组的人认为科学家论文都写得不好
文法不够漂亮, 说这种话的人真的应该去读一读一些"文法写得漂亮"
的医学教科书
当然, 我已经离开那一行很久了, 而且, 这是个人意见 ;p
