SAT语法一道!
unfortunately,there are drawbacks to every solution that was thought of.
这句话是有上下文语境的,然后答案说是错的,给出的理由是因为全文都是现在时,所以不应该是was thought of,可是我觉得不对啊,think of solution这个动作是过去发生的啊,你不能因为全文用的是现在时就都用现在是啊?

你的说法有一定的道理,但不是最和语境的,所以不要再固执了.
因为,drawbacks 的存在是与 every solution 及 that was/ is thought of...同步/时的.
每每想出一个解决的方法,它总有缺陷或不足.
而想出方法的时间是不确定的,包括昨天、今天、或明天.
因为这里的solution 不是特定的具体的,而是泛指,可以指代昨天的、今天的、明天的.
应该说,最近一段时间大家都在想办法,可是想出的每个办法都不如人意.
如果确定是指“过去所想出的方法”,那么“缺陷是与方法同步的”想出来是就是有缺陷的,对吧?所以必须说:
...There were drawbacks to every solution that was thought of.
这样就前后一致了.
否则,“解决的方法是过去想出的”,但 “缺陷的存在却是现在的”,时间上就错位了.

我同意楼主提出的原答案理由,这句话最好改写成:
......unfortunately, there are drawbacks to every solution that has been thought of.
was thought of 与 has been thought of 区别在于:前者指过去曾经发生过的,与现在关系并不密切;而后者则表示“已经想到的”,可能还会想...

我同意楼主提出的原答案理由,这句话最好改写成:
......unfortunately, there are drawbacks to every solution that has been thought of.
was thought of 与 has been thought of 区别在于:前者指过去曾经发生过的,与现在关系并不密切;而后者则表示“已经想到的”,可能还会想到',对现在造成了影响和结果。
可译成:不幸的是,已经考虑到的解决办法均有不足之处(下文很可能继续寻求新的解决办法)

同意britishpretty的回答。这里solution和drawback并无时间先后关系,每个solution都有drawback,并不是说提出solution后才有drawback。是一个惯常的状态。他们是同步发生和存在的。所以时态应一致。
