1. The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.
(A) occurring when a child
(B) occurring when children
(C) that occurred when a child
(D) that occurred when they were children(D)
(E) that has occurred as each was a child
在D中they不会有指代effects的歧义吗?
以前有个连续7页的帖子提到过这个问题,不过没有重点讨论
斑竹的意思是 WHEN THEY WERE CHILDREN 是整个宾语从句中的时间状语从句,所以就近指代其宾从的主语。我的理解对吗??能不能在找个例子??
多谢!!
when引导的状语从句里省略了主语, by default, 这个主语就应该是divorce.
Divorce occurred when (divorce) is a child.
参考一下OG255ETS对A的解释, 他的结论是unclear
所以, when从句省略主语是比较被ETS忌讳的, 特别前面出现多个名词.
偶2楼的说法好像有问题。
但是我现在反而很困惑了,既然是young men and women,为什么Divorce用单数阿,因为大家的离婚是不同的,应该用复数阿,
可是如果divorces that occurred when they were children, 那they的指代不是又有问题了。
devorce只有一次吧,所以用单数。或者解释为“受到一次离婚影响的人有很多”。
OG上有道题,忘记题号了,说美国3/4的汽车主人同时 own a bike。
汽车的owner当然是复数,可如果这里bike也用复数,就变成这些人每个人拥有的bike不止一辆。

你说的那道题是252,
a divorce that occurred when they were children,
我再想想。

想好了一定告诉我啊!这个问题想了很久,最近语法没提高,觉得是自己没好好总结透过去做过的题
我今天做GMAT题很是郁闷,又闹肚子,状态及差。信心几次重建几次被毁。
当表示一个群体的集体特征的时候, 可以用单数表示那个特征, 以强调普遍性.
252是一个最好的例子, 因为OG有很详细的解释.
其他例子还有OG167, 也是一个很经典的例子, ETS解释的非常到位: , it is better to use the singular in referring to an anatomical feature common to an entire species;
