我的一点点看法~
1)同位语修饰对象问题:
“A of B,同位语“ 这种结构中,同位语就近修饰A还是B?
一般来说,同位语就近修饰B,如本题中的情况
但也有修饰A OF B 整体的,也就是Manhattan中mission critical modifier的情况,如:
An ice sheet covers 80 percent of the surface ofGreenland, an area roughly the size of Alaska. of the surface ofGreenland为mission-critical modifier,定义了80percent,灰色部分修饰黄色整体
关键还是由context决定
2)比较的问题
我觉得这题的关键不在比较对象是否对应上
正确选项: The exploits of Nellie Bly, a pioneer journalist, included circling the globe faster than Jules Verne's fictional Phileas Fogg.
把同位语插入成分 a pioneer journalist丢掉来看句子主干
The exploits of Nellie Bly included circling the globe faster than Jules Verne's fictional Phileas Fogg.
红色是主语,粉色是谓语,蓝色是宾语
句子想说的是exploits包括什么,而后面黄色部分是作为modifier去修饰宾语的,to provide more information,所以重心不在于找比较的counterpart,把它当做一个修饰成分就好,如果非要扣的话,不妨把作为动名词的宾语 circling the globe改为宾语从句看:
The exploits of Nellie Bly included that he circled the globe faster than Jules Verne's fictional Phileas Fogg. (因为这里 globe 和 后面的人名不会造成歧意,所以省略了助动词 did)
