Đáp án C

Câu ban đầu: “Gọi cho Jim thì vô ích vì điện thoại của cậu ấy hỏng rồi”

Cấu trúc:

There is no point in + Ving=It’s no use/no good/useless + Ving = It’s not worth + Ving (Thật là vô ích/không đáng để làm gì)

E.g: It’s no use persuading her to go to the cinema.

A , B, D sai cấu trúc.

ð Đáp án C (Thật là vô ích khi gọi cho Jim bởi vì điện thoại của cậu ấy hỏng rồi)

Đáp án C

Đáp án là C. Một số thành ngữ thường gặp: vô ích/ không đáng khi làm...

It's no use + V-ing

There is no point in + V-ing It’s not worth + V-ing

My mother cook better than I do 

It's phone use calling Jim because his phone is out of order 

Đáp án A

Giải thích: Giữa hai câu có mối quan hệ nguyên nhân – kết quả.

Pointless (adj) = không có ý nghĩa

Dịch nghĩa: Gọi điện cho Jim là không có ý nghĩa gì. Điện thoại của cậu ấy bị hỏng.

Phương án A. It is useless to call Jim because his phone is out of order sử dụng từ nối “because” thể hiện mối quan hệ nhân quả và cấu trúc:

Useless + V-ing / to V = không có ích khi làm gì

Dịch nghĩa: Không có ích gì khi gọi điện cho Jim bởi vì điện thoại của cậu ấy bị hỏng.

Đây là phương án có nghĩa của câu sát với nghĩa câu gốc nhất.

          B. It’s no use to call Jim because his phone is out of order = Không có ích khi gọi điện cho Jim bởi vì điện thoại của cậu ấy bị hỏng.

Cấu trúc: It’s no use + V-ing = không có ích khi làm gì. Do đó phương án này động từ “call” chia là “calling” mới đúng cấu trúc.

          C. There’s no point in calling Jim because his phone is out of order = Không có mục tiêu gì khi gọi điện cho Jim bởi vì điện thoại của cậu ấy bị hỏng.

Cấu trúc: There’s no point in + V-ing = không có mục tiêu, lý do

Phương án này không phù hợp về nghĩa so với câu gốc đưa ra.

          D. It’s worth calling Jim because his phone is out of order = Đáng để gọi điện cho Jim bởi vì điện thoại của cậu ấy bị hỏng.

Phương án này có ý nghĩa hoàn toàn trái ngược với nghĩa câu gốc.
