被动省略be？Themanwholosthisway或lost（
The man who lt his way 或 lost （迷路）in the desert was in need of water. 迷路可以说lose one's way或get /be lost ,那上面这个句子be不是应该保留吗？The man who was lost in the desert... 还有：If we compare the maps of today with those used by the early sailors,... ---- 不是应该是those were
1.既然你也说了迷路可以说lose one's way或get /be lost,那lost his way 和was lost当然都对,所以用哪个都可以. 2.those used by the early sailors是被动啊,只不过的those 和used之间其实省略了that were,把定语从句简化成了分词短语来修饰those. Clear?
