39、用。分析句子结构可知，本句从句谓语为saw，此处应用动词的非谓语形式，live与其逻辑主语deer为主谓关系，所以将live改为living。the改为a冠词误用。come to a stop为固定表达，意为“停止”，所以将the改为a。cleverly改为clever形容词和副词混用。分析句子结构可知，seemed为系动词，此处应用形容词作表语，所以将cleverly改为clever。month改为months名词单复数误用。month为可数名词，根据前面的some可知，此处需要用名词复数，所以把month改为months。want后加to不定式符号to漏用。want to do sth.为固定表达，意为“想要做某事”，所以在want后加to。anything改为nothing不定代词误用。根据语境可知，小鹿没有看到什么让它害怕的事情，所以将anything改为nothing。drive改为drove动词时态误用。根据时间状语“this morning”并结合全文时态可知，此处应该用一般过去时，所以把drive改为drove。but改为and连词误用。根据语境可知，我继续开车，为这神奇的一刻而微笑，并且庆幸我开得很慢，没有撞到这个美丽的生灵，前后为顺承关系，所以将but改为and。but表转折，不符合语境。
