(A) made famously                       (B) made famous

(C) making famously                    (D) making famous

這題答案是 (B)。 (三民書局英文四自學手冊B – p.38)

這題的重點是[ make ]不完全及物動詞的用法：

1.   先用二個簡單的句子說明 –

      1) Your parents made you a good pianist.

      [ made ]是不完全及物動詞，[ a good pianist ]是受詞[ you ]的補語。

      = You were made a good pianist by your parents. (被動態)

      2) Our country made soldiers brave.

      [ made ]是不完全及物動詞，[ brave ]是受詞[ soldiers ]的補語。

      = Soldiers were made brave by our country. (被動態)

      這題的句子也是被動態。它主動態的寫法是 –

      Groucho Marx, who used to joke about it on his quiz show, made Grant’s Tomb famous in New York.

      = Grant’s Tomb, in New York, was made famous by Groucho Marx who used to joke about it on his quiz show.
