be devoted to和devote
be devoted to和devote
先看2个句子:
1 He was still devoted to the study of chemistry.
2 he devoted himself to writing.
为什么有devote to 和be devoted to ,他们有什么区别,什么时候用啊
还有一句话是:He's devoted his whole life to the protection of the rare animals.
其中's是哪个的缩写?
如果没有区别的话:
The scientist () to exposing the secret of nature deserves to win the respect of the world.
A:devoted B:was devoted
但你说它们没有区别,为什么不能选B呢?
前半问：两者意思一样,BE DEVOTED TO更婉转些 DEVOTE TO比较直接
如 BE DEPENDENT ON和DEPEND ON；
后半问：是HAS的缩写,属于DEVOTE TO的那种
不用谢.
选A
选A的原因：句子的主干为：
主语THE SCIENTIST,谓语DESERVES...
而DEVOTED TO exposing the secret of nature 是修饰主语的定语.
完整形式应该是：
The scientist WHO WAS DEVOTE to exposing the secret of nature deserves to win the respect of the world.
The scientist WHO DEVOTED HIMSELF to exposing the secret of nature deserves to win the respect of the world.
