问题: 英语选择题

________ of censure, Descartes suppressed his treatise Le Monde, which supported the heliocentric doctrine.

(A) He was afraid
(B) Was afraid
(C) Afraid
(D) Who afraid

解答:

选C,主语为Descartes.由于前后两部分主语相同,所以前面那部分的主语可以省略.
当然,be动词也要随主语一起省略,否则就是错句.若真的要留下be动词,则要用being.即原句可改为
Being afraid of censure,Descartes suppress his treaties Le Monde,which supported the heliocentric doctrine.
