13Feb英文改错

下面一段文字中,有三处错误。你能找出并改正吗?

All social units develop a culture. Even in two-person relationships, a culture develops over time. In friendship and romantic relationships, for example, partners develop their own history, shared experiences, language patterns, habits, and customs give that relationship a special character﹘a character that differs it  in various ways from other relationships.

参考译文:All social units develop a culture. Even in two-person relationships, a culture develops over time. In friendship and romantic relationships, for example, partners develop their own history, shared experiences, language patterns, habits, and customs (which)give that relationship a special character﹘a character that differentiates it  in various ways from other relationships.

解析:1)in time是“及时”的时间,而over time的意思是“随着时间流逝”2) give 是一个动词,后接宾语,因此缺一个主语,用which或that关系代词来引导;不过,在现代英语中,在这一类主语缺失的情况下,也是能理解的。3)differ是不及物动词,意为“区别”或“相异”,后面不接宾主,即直接用differ from (each other);而differentiate是及物动词,differentiate it from是正确的。
