已經好久沒碰英文了,最近重新接觸感覺有點吃力. 今天我聽了BBC的Words in The News後,想用自己的理解把文章濃縮寫出來,完成後如下: Pesioners accused of Kidnapping Four Pensioners in Germany are accused for kidnapping their financial advisor for four days. In Germany, people can complain to the regulators if they feel that their pesion is messed up in a investment by the finanial advisor. But those four bavarian Pensioners used a more directly way to show their anger. The pensioners have followed the direction of the financial adviosr to invest a US proporty market, but thus lost much of their money in the investment. They therefor kidnapped the advisor outside his house and sent him to a lakeside retreat in Bavarian and locked him in a cellar. After the Advisor promised the pensioners to pay their money back, they agreed to release him and letted him fax to Switzerland to gather the money. But they didn't know that the Advisor also secretly call out for rescue. In the court the pensioners alleged that they just wanted to give the Advisor Holidays in Bavarian. 這個新聞裡我覺得有幾個時間點: 1.退休者在法庭被起訴 2.退休者綁架financial advisor 3.退休者按advisor的建議投資失敗我第一句用現在式是因為這個案子還在訴訟中而最後的"the pensioners alleged that..."那句用過去式是因為他們已經為自己辯解過了.但變成同樣在法庭中出現裡個時態耶... 而且中間我不是很確定哪邊該用過去式哪邊該用完成式. 其實時態一直是我長期以來英文寫作的一大困擾.我覺得好難區分喔... 不好意思麻煩各位幫我解惑了,謝謝! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.25.6.110
