  Error Correction (15 minutes)

  For centuries the gypsies have lived as a unfettered people --71--

  who traveled through half the countries of the world, abiding

  to their own laws. Scorning discomfort, enduring persecution, --72--

  accumulating only meager possession, they sacrificed all for --73--

  their freedom. To be settled people they seemed both fascinating or --74--

  fearful, while to the gypsies the settling people were equally fearful.?--75--

  Gypsies acquired in ancient times their traditional occupations

  like smiths and horse traders. They plied their crafts from village --76--

  to village, presenting entertainments to attract townsmen. So they

  became musicians, magicians, animal trainers, and acrobats.?

  A folk saying held that when a gypsy woman predicted misfortune

  it always came fact because she stole something from the victim. --77--

  The gypsies were known also for the big trick which they deceived --78--

  the credulous. A typical trick was to convince a peasant to bury --79--

  his money, promising that it would be multiplied by magic powers;

  when the peasant returned to dig them up, the money and the gypsies --80--

  were both gone. The term “gypsy” soon became synonymous with all

  the robbers and brigands who infested (骚扰)cet6w.com.?

  答案:

  71.a 改为 an 。A 用在以辅音字母或辅音开头的单词之前,an用在以元音字母或元音开头的单词之前。?

  72.to 改为 by。abide by 是固定用法,表示“坚持,遵守”。?

  73.possession改为 possessions。因为possession 在句中意为“财产”,应用其复数形式。?

  74.or改为 and。只有both…and…没有both…or…,both…and…表示“既……又……”。?

  75.settling改为settled。过去分词表达被动与完成,现在分词表达主动与进行。Settled表示“定居下来的(人们)”。?

  76.like改为as。句中的as 作介词,表示“例如”。?

  77.fact改为true。Come true 表示“成为事实”,没有come fact 这种表达法。?

  78.which前加in。句中的which是关系代词,引导定语从句,修饰前面的trick,加上in 句意才完整。?

  79.convince改为 persuade。Convince表示“(已经)信服”,而persuade是指“劝说(某人)使之相信”。根据句意显然应使用后者。?

  80.them改为it。根据句意此处的代词表示money, 而该词是不可数名词,故应用it。
