请看下面的考题:
The bridge, which _____ 1439, needs repairing.
A. is dated from B. was dated from
C. dates from D. dated from
【陷阱】此题容易误选B或D,认为句中用了 1439 这个过去时间,所以应选过去时态,又因为 date from 不用于被动语态,所以只能选D。
【分析】其实此题的最佳答案应是C,因为 date from 的意思是自某时起存在至今(=have existed since),它通常用于一般现在时,而不用过去时态(尽管其后接的总是表示过去的时间)。如:
The church dates from 1176. 这座教堂是六世纪建的。
The castle dates from the 14th century. 这座城堡是14世纪建的。
但若所谈论的东西现在已不复存在,则可用一般过去时。如:
The church, which dated from the 13th century, was destroyed in an earthquake two years ago. 那座教堂是13世纪建成的,两年前在一次地震中被毁了。
注:与 date from 同义的 date back to 也有类似用法。
