答案

【答案】

1.since改为because或者for.

当since表示原因时，它往往出现在句子的开头而非中间。

2.And改为But.

从与上一段的关系看来，这里是转折而不是承接。

3.fashionable改为fashion.

fashionable是形容词表示“时尚的，时髦的”，而这里所指的是“时尚产业”，所以应该用它的名词形式。

4.woman前加上a或者woman改为women.

可数名词单数形式前面必须加冠词，因此这里须加上a，或者将woman变成服侍形式表类指。

5.sophisticating改为sophisticated

6.on改为in.

succeed 与介词in连用，后面加动词ing形式。如：We have already succeeded in working out ground rules with the Department of Defense.

7.of 改为from

save sb from doing sth 表示“避免某人做某事”。

8.know改为knows.

主语和谓语在形式上须一致，anyone在语义上表达的是单数含义。

9.on改为in.

英语表示穿戴往往用介词in。

10.needs改为need.

尽管need前用了all来限定，但need所指的是“叫来草坪护理专家”这单一的含义，因此应该用单数，all在这里只是起到强调的作用。
