Question

The news about the terrible flood there greatly discouraged __________ there for sightseeing.

A．us from going

B．us to go

C．our going

D．our to go

Answer 1

A

discourage与encourage互为反义词。英语中说“鼓励某人做某事”时使用encourage sb．to do sth．，但如果表示“使某人没勇气做某事”时，不能用discourage sb．to do sth．，其正确形式是：discourage sb from doing sth。
