A.would be B.Has been C.had been D.was正确答案是D,但我不太懂,可以讲一下吗?谢谢
解答:
原题为;It is said in the book that Thomas Edision(1847-1931)___the world leading inventor for 60 years.
1) is said in the book 是书上所说,即现在来说。故用一般现在时。
2)说he was an inventor,是指过去,从其生卒年月可判断在19-20世纪的60年间,是当时世界上首屈一指的发明家。所以用was。ABC均不妥。如果要用had been ,则必须要在主从句中交代过去时间的先后关系。但就单句而言,只能用一般过去时了。
