D中sth is able to be done的用法是错误的 XX有能力被怎么怎么样 是不对的
able/capable/capability不能用于被动式:
be able to do sth, be capable of doing sth,have the capability of doing sth,表示有能力做某事,有做某事的才能,这几个词只能用主动,不能用被动,不能说有能力被如何如何
如:
Wrong:The virus is capable of being brought into USA
Right: The virus can be brought into USA
Wrong:The glass is able to be shaped by human
Right:The glass can be shaped by human
注意D中sth is able to be done的用法是错误的。为啥呢,一个物体有能力去做什么,逻辑上是对的。但一个物体有能力被别人做什么,逻辑是错的。能被别人干什么,那不是物体的能力,那是别人的能力。逻辑上想明白这种用法就能记住能避免。
只可以说玻璃能被shaped,不能说玻璃有能力被shaped
如果选D那么在and后面要有that
