Câu hỏi:I whispered as I didn't want anybody to hear our conversation.
- A. So as not to hear our conversation I whispered.
- B. Since nobody wanted to hear our conversation I whispered.
- C. Because I whispered, nobody heard our conversation.
- D. I lowered my voice in order that our conversation couldn’t be heard.
Lời giải tham khảo:
Đáp án đúng: D
Giải thích: Câu gốc sử dụng từ nối "as" (bởi vì) để nối hai vế có mối quan hệ nguyên nhân - kết quả.
Dịch nghĩa: Tôi đã nói thầm bởi vì tôi không muốn ai nghe thấy cuộc nói chuyện của chúng ta.
Phương án D. I lowered my voice in order that our conversation couldn’t be heard
Sử dụng cấu trúc:
In order that + S + V = để cho
Dịch nghĩa: Tôi đã hạ thấp giọng để cuộc nói chuyện của chúng ta không thể bị nghe thấy.
Đây là phương án có nghĩa của câu sát với nghĩa câu gốc nhất.
Các đáp án còn lại:
A. So as not to hear our conversation I whispered = Để không nghe thấy cuộc nói chuyện của chúng ta, tôi đã nói thầm.
Cấu trúc So as (not) lo do sth = để (không) làm gì đó
Chủ ngữ trong câu là I (tôi) nên không phù hợp. Không phải bản thân tôi không muốn nghe thấy cuộc nói chuyện mà là tôi không muốn người khác nghe thấy.
B. Since nobody wanted to hear our conversation I whispered. = Bởi vì không ai muốn nghe cuộc trò chuyện của chúng tôi nên tôi đã nói thầm.
Nếu đã không ai muốn nghe thì cần gì phải nói thầm. Câu này không hợp lí.
C. Because I whispered, nobody heard our conversation = Bởi vì tôi đã nói thầm, không ai nghe thấy cuộc nói chuyện của chúng ta.
Việc nói thầm là để phòng tránh trong trường hợp có người nghe thấy, còn thật sự có ai nghe thấy hay không thì ta vẫn chưa biết.
