标题: with用法，求解一道题 [打印本页] 作者: idcannotbefound 时间: 2021-11-8 07:03 标题: with用法，求解一道题 The attorney turned down the law firm’s offer of a position because she suspected that it was meant merely to fill an affirmative action quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting.
(A) quota with no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
(B) quota, having no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promoting
(C) quota and did not reflect a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
(D) quota, not reflecting a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion
(E) quota, not one that reflected that minority hiring and eventual promotion was a commitment
我知道答案a 的eventually promoting是错的。但是有人还质疑答案a句意错了：
Quota with no commitment -- it is not quota without commitment but the position is with no commitment. 这里with修饰quota。
如果with 修饰前面整句话就没错误了。
这里with修饰哪个是有歧义吗？ 作者: miltond 时间: 2021-11-8 15:24
C选项里，and后面的部分是修饰前面 law firm’s offer of a position 这个行为的 。再讲得细一点，【it was meant 】merely to fill an affirmative action quota and 【did not reflect】 a commitment to minority hiring and eventual promotion. 由于有了and，两个方括号【】里面的谓语是平行的. 都是指向 law firm’s offer of a position 这个行为的
如果在quota后面加with，那with后面的部分当然是修饰quota了。具体说，no commitment to minority hiring and eventually promotion(这里把promoting改正成promotion) 这部分去修饰配额quota了，而不是offer of a position 这个行为。作者: idcannotbefound 时间: 2021-11-8 15:59
