请看下面这道题:
The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change ______.
A. another B. a good one
C. it with another D. it for another
【剖析】
英语中的 change sth 表示的是“改换某物”,sth 是被换的东西,而 change sth for sth else 表示的才是“用某物换另一物”。
Change sb/sth (for sb/sth) | change sth (to sth)
比较:
That coat was too large and I had to change it. 那件外套太大了,我得去换一件。
That coat was too large and I had to change it for a smaller one. 那件外套太大了,我得去换一件小一点的。
下面的内容摘自《中学英语高频词详解词典》的change词条:

正:The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change it (for another).
误:The camera isn’t good enough; I want to change another.
以是此题随意马虎根据汉语字面意思误选A或B。
实在此题最佳答案为D。
