有读者问这个句子有什么错？
(1)Why was it that a well-educated, attractive English girl would turn her back to glittering social life in order to be a nurse when only women of low class and reputation worked in hospitals?
此句错在用了 would。 在英语中，疑问词 why, how等的语气较为强烈时，其后应用 should。上述句子用的是“Why was it that...”强调结构，表明 why 的语气十分强烈，故而须将 would 改作 should。 语气强烈的 why, how 等疑问词与 should 连用的日常用语有如：
(2)Why should I go?
(3)How should I know?
