标题: OG解释矛盾之处——59、10

10.   However much United States voters may agree that there is waste in government and that the government as a whole spends beyond its means, it is difficult to find broad support for a movement toward a minimal state.


(A) However much United States voters may agree that


(B) Despite the agreement among United States voters to the fact


(C) Although United States voters agree


(D) Even though United States voters may agreeA


(E) There is agreement among United States voters that


再看59题


59.   In 1978 only half the women granted child support by a court received the amount awarded; at least as much as a million and more others had not any support agreements whatsoever.


(A) at least as much as a million and more others had not any


(B) at least as much as more than a million others had no


(C) more than a million others had not any


(D) more than a million others had no(D)


(E) there was at least a million or more others without any


D, the best choice, is idiomatic, clear, and concise. Both A and B incorrectly use much rather than many to describe the countable noun others; much should be used with uncountable nouns such as “joy” and “labor.” Even if this error were corrected, though, A and B would still be wrong. Because more than x necessarily includes the sense of at least as many as x, it is redundant and confusing to use elements of both expressions to refer to the same number of women. In A and C, not any support agreements is wordy and awkward. Like A and B, E redundantly uses both at least and more, and it incorrectly links the singular verb was with the plural subject others.


这两处地方是否矛盾啊?

However much LACE>United StatesLACE> voters may agree that


这里much 是修饰agree的,表动作的强烈程度,楼主断句断错了,应该断在U.S前面

以下是引用c_violet2000在2005-7-14 16:16:00的发言:

However much LACE>United StatesLACE> voters may agree that


这里much 是修饰agree的,表动作的强烈程度,楼主断句断错了,应该断在U.S前面

如果修饰agree的话,那为什么不放在agree后(那样的话可以避免歧义修饰)?agree much that是什么意思?

that是引导agree的内容.however much是修饰agree的.


整句话的意思是:不管美国选民有多同意政府有浪费并且超支购买,但是却......


如果这句话象你说的那么写,however United States voters may agree much that.....


就表达不出'不管...有多,却....'的意思了.


最多只能表达出"然而"的意思.扭曲了原文
