解答

答案

were opposed to

He said they were opposed to the presence of alien forces in the region.
翻译：他说，他们反对该地区存在外国军队。

解析

1. be opposed to sth 固定短语：反对……（高考高频短语）
to 是介词，后面接名词 / doing，本题后面是名词短语  the presence of alien forces

– opposed 形容词，反对的；不要写成 oppose（动词）

2. 时态
主句  He said  是一般过去时，宾语从句时态倒退，所以用 were opposed to

单词释义

– alien forces：外国军队（这里不是外星人！alien = 外国的，外来的）
– presence n. 存在

短语辨析（必背）

1. be opposed to sth/doing sth（状态短语）反对……
They are opposed to the plan. 他们反对这项计划。
2. oppose sth（动词）反对……
They oppose the plan.

重点：oppose 及物动词，不加to；be opposed 后面一定要to

拓展：oppose 全家桶

– oppose v. 反对
– opposed adj. 反对的
– opposition n. 反对；反对派

这个题就是外研版选择性必修三的原题，和咱们前面做的resigned to 结构很像：
be opposed to +名词/doing
be resigned to +名词/doing
两个to全是介词！
