这里须用过去分词 fixed

有一读者问:有这样一道选择题:

(1)The programme was so exciting that the children kept their eyes_________on the screen.

A. to fix B. to be fixed C. fixed D. fixing

答案是C,为什么不选D?

当 fix 意指“使(眼睛)指向”时,是一及物动词,所以这里 kept their eyes 之后须用表被动的过去分词 fixed, 再如:

(2)He stood there with his eyes fixed on the picture.
