The bad weather meant ______ the rocket launch (发射) for 48 hours . | A．delaying | B．having delayed | C．to delay | D．to have delayed |
|
答案
| A |
解析
| mean后既可以跟不定式（mean to do sth），又可以跟名词mean doing sth，便两者内涵是有很大区别的，前者表示"故意去做；诚心去做"而后者表示"意味着要做"。据此两个不定式的选项应予以排除。虽然句中有表示延续一段时间的时间状语，但句意是：恶劣的天气意味着火箭的发射要耽搁四十八小时，"耽搁"这一动作没有也不能发生在谓语动词meant之前，所以C项也必须排除掉。 |
