1. After a few weeks’ experience, apprentice jewelers can usually begin to discriminate, though not with absolute certainty, genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds.
(A) genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds
(B) genuine diamonds apart from imitations
(C) between genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds
(D) among genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds
(E) whether diamonds are imitation or genuine

ANSWER C.但我认为A和C都是对的. for example:
The parties have become so similar it is difficult to discriminate Republicans from Democrats

sb. discriminate between A and B
or
sth. discriminate A from B

主语是jewelers，人，所以用第一个。

2楼所说的有什么根据？
在longman上有这样的一个例子
You must learn to discriminate between facts and opinions/to discriminate facts from opinions.
这两个句子都是正确的啊。

同样，distinguish好像也存在这样的问题，比如
Small children can't distinguish right from wrong.

我认为这两个词后面用between还是from主要取决于动词后面是否直接跟宾语。所以我也觉得楼主所说的题有2个答案。还请nn指教，是不是GMAT中对此有特别的要求？

from 和 between and究竟有什么区别呢

chenmoon · 发表于 2003-10-13 21:16:00

这题如果真较真儿的话，是不是可以这样理解？即discriminate genuine diamonds from imitation diamonds好像是从一大堆假钻石里找出真钻石，而discriminate between genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds意思是有一颗（或几颗）假的，有一颗（或几颗）真的，把它们分辨出来。你想啊，哪儿来那么多假的呢，所以C是正确的。
这样理解是不是很牵强啊，嘿嘿，别砸我。

chenmoon 说的好象有道理，但下面似乎是个反例：
The parties have become so similar it is difficult to discriminate Republicans from Democrats.

还是没弄清楚A,C区别，难道是前后有都好隔开的原因？选A有些fragemnet?还想继续请教NNs.....

首先，我认为ETS比较倾向于用discriminate between A and B的结构，这个方面没有多少道理可以讲；
其次，如果深究，我认为discriminate A from B 强调的是相同点，而就是句子的主要意思往往是为了说明区别A和B的困难，也就是虽然再说不同，但实际上是强调相同，gemj的例子就很好：The parties have become so similar it is difficult to discriminate Republicans from Democrats. 就是说重点是说难于区分Repulicans and Democrats, 而不是说他们的不同。
On the other hand, "discriminate between A and B" is used to emphasis the difference between A and B. For example, "discriminate between genuine diamonds and imitation diamonds" is intended to express the idea of "他们是不同的", 正因为如此，珠宝技师经过一些不多的训练，就很快的可以区分他们。
个人观点，欢迎讨论！

dandan74 的分析很有创意，这么认真实在难得！
但下面这个好象与dandan74的分析似乎不是非常吻合，当然不能说不行。
the process of learning to discriminate fact from opinion

discriminate from侧重from前的
discriminate between and由于有and，侧重两者
