大全885-setion1-12（没有找到结论性解释）

12. Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.
(A) Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only
(B) In 1905, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed
(C) In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only
(D) Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed
(E) Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves only

答案是C。

我翻了前面的帖子，没有找到确定的解释。

1 B错在哪里（除了not effective）

2 C在travelling～和armed～之间没有连词的表达方式可以吗？不会引起歧义，armed修饰Hungary raods 么？

谢谢大家！

Choices A and B are wordy and imprecise: the phrasing suggests that Bartok and Kodaly were already traveling the back roads of Hungary when they began their pioneering work, not that they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work. Moreover, and suggests in both cases that they were armed with a phonograph in addition to being on the road, rather than while they were on the road, and only in B is misplaced before the verb armed. Choice C is correct. In choice D, Having traveled… suggests that the two had finished traveling before they began their work in ethnomusicology, and only is again misplaced. Choice E is wordy and awkwardly constructed. The question is a little easier than the average.

"they were armed with a phonograph in addition to being on the road"有人能解释一下这是什么意思么》谢谢！

隐约明白一点，但是想不出and使B产生了什么错误的意思？

还有C在travelling～和armed～之间没有连词的表达方式可以吗？不会引起歧义，armed修饰Hungary raods 么？

but, armed originally modify they (in answer A, they are armed only), now in answer C it modify travelling. does it change the structure of origin sentence? or it should be parallel to travelling (miss conjunction and)?

感觉这个解释好象是说A,B选项中都是把traveling ...放在began...之前，有travelling发生在前，began their pioneering work发生在后的感觉。而正确答案C 把began....放在前，travelling...放在后，表明了they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work。

我就联想到：

(D) Employing the techniques of genetic engineering there has been a development by laboratory scientists of a new species of microorganism that will（C）

(E) Employing the techniques of genetic engineering, a new species of microorganism that was developed by laboratory scientists will

那么是不是这种V.ing......放在前的句型,都隐含了这个动作发生先后的意思呢?

Open to discussion.

这里探讨的是travel, begin 和arm三者动作间的相互关系.....

照逻辑意思看, 应先begin, 再travel和arm才对
