Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．在pay后加for pay意思是“支付，付清”，表示償付為商品或服務(wù)而支付(錢)用pay money for sth．，因此在pay后面加for。 　　2．till→if　till意思是“直到”，本句意為“如果他想生活舒服，就必須工作”。因此，應(yīng)將till改為if。 　　3．comfortable→comfortably　comfortable是形容詞，修飾動詞live，應(yīng)該用副詞。 　　4．they→he　這句話的主、從句指的都是the young man，因此應(yīng)該將主句的they改為he。 　　5．that→as　句意為“如果他像過去違反他父母的規(guī)定一樣觸犯法律，他可能會入獄”。that引導(dǎo)從句時本身沒有含義，而此處把“觸犯法律”和“違反父母的規(guī)定”作比較，表示兩者相似，因此不能用that，應(yīng)改為as，as表示“與……一樣”。 　　6．去掉prison前的the　prison意思是“監(jiān)獄”。go to prison習(xí)慣用語，表示“入獄”。 　　7．therefore→however　therefore是副詞，意思是“因此，所以”。 　　8．better→good　此處表示一般描述，他的健康并沒有和以前或別人的相比較，因此應(yīng)該用形容詞原形。 　　9．去掉make前的to see是感官動詞，之后的動詞不定式要省去to。此外，watch, look at, notice, observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find等都是感官動詞，后面的不定式也要省去to。 　　10．√
