高中英语语法填空
He developed,after many tries,a method of making clouds rain 36 they would not normally do so.This method,37 (call) seeding
36 空填 when 后整个句子意思是?37为什么填called 不填 is called?
求教T.T

Answer 1

其实可以这么理解
after many tries he developed a method of making clouds rain when they would not normally do so.
(云层不能正常地下雨,他经过无数的试验后发明了一种可以让云层下雨的方法)
this method,called seeding
这里可以理解为 this method which was called seeding
因为省略了which was,因为句子主要表达是他发明了这个方法,而不是重点表达"这个方法"的内容,所以which was省略,直接用call的分词代替
这跟"cooked noodle",就是叫"煮熟的面条"的意思相同
