问题描述

The people made him ______ king, and he did a lot of good things for them.
A. a                B. the
答案是 B，我不是很理解 A 错在哪里，请老师指点一下。谢谢您。

老师答疑

黎老师：

king 表示“国王”这种地位时不加冠词。例如：
He became king of England. 他成为英格兰国王。（《外研社英汉多功能词典》p.1154）
Oswald became king in 634. 奥斯瓦尔德于公元634年当上了国王。（《麦克米伦高阶英汉双解词典》）
虽然有时也用定冠词，但不用不定冠词。所以，若一定要从 A、B 两项选出一个答案的话，B是相当更合适的。
