Faced with this new situation, people have 30 to find out how to deal with it.
答案:(B) yet
have yet to V 意為「尚未做某事」,本身即帶否定語氣,指人們面對這個新情況還沒找出因應之道;not 無法構成 have not to 這種說法,till 與 though 也接不上不定詞。
答對率 32%。
yet 你大概只會用在句尾(I haven't finished yet.)。這裡它夾在 have 與 to 中間,句子又看不到 not,所以讀不出否定的意思。
它自己就是否定,不能再加 not。最快的理解方式是換句話說:have yet to V = still haven't + p.p.。He has yet to find an investor. = He still hasn't found an investor.(他至今還沒找到投資人)。本句 people have yet to find out how to deal with it = 人們還沒找出因應之道,正好呼應前一句的 we do not know what will become of it。
很多人是把 till 看成 still。till = until(直到),後面接時間點或子句(Wait till Monday.);still = 仍然,放一般動詞前、be 動詞後(She still lives here.)。就算你把 till 讀成 still,選項印的仍是 till,而 till 接不上不定詞 to find out,句子直接不成立。
have not to 不是英文;though 是連接詞,接不上不定詞。
have yet to V(尚未做某事)、be yet to be decided(尚未決定)、as yet(迄今為止)、not yet(還沒)。
