标题: 徹底破解GWD 3-39
GWD3-Q39:
Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

A. Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

B. Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, they cost less,

C. Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they

D. Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers,
compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

E. Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they
我覺得Answer: A
我對At的感覺就是,要去抓句子每個部分想要呈現的意義
我認為carry as many as seven passengers和後面的3個動詞所要傳達意思是兩個區塊
前者在講說M車可以載多少人,後者則提到與其他車相比,多了哪幾項好處
中間的修飾語放的很漂亮,一方面避免ed直接修飾前名詞
ved不像 n,ving,同位修飾的意義很強,所以幾乎都修飾逗點前一詞
一方面讓我在看後面的動詞前,就有一個期待感,這些動詞是和most sports utility相比的, 而能載七個人,是一個前半部的說明重點,這題出現的同時,已經有能載7個人的SUV,但卻是少數,所以不應該只是用carrying這個修飾語帶過去,而是要作為讓讀者注意到這一部份好的特點,as many as 強調的是可以到7個人這樣多,卻不是compared to most (因為只有少數能載七人,能辦到還不賴!)sport vehicle,as many as. 所以才構成在and後用逗號分開: and, compared....的理由,讓讀者明顯知道是爲了往後修飾的(不然感覺是大部分都能載7人,M車只是達到這標準)..後半部的地方是除了承載量達到了目前的前端水準,還有以下的好處,所以本來就應該用and,而非but,這樣的寫法能讓我清楚感受到各部分存在的意義有人說A的逗號放的有點不恰當,我卻認為恰好相反,其and,是最漂亮的放法,總結A句如下: 1.以as many as強調M車可載高到7人的好特質,不以逗號分詞修辭弱化句子第一個重點 2.and,成功避免compared to most修飾 passengers,也避免去修飾到carry...7 passengers,代表不是most SUV都可以載到七人. 3明確知道compared是往後修飾,兩個好特點平行. 4.主詞與動詞緊密相鄰,句子強度有出來關於大平行中的小平行請參考OG190 這題ETS出的漂亮,解的也痛快

另外關於雙重修飾語的地方,我有作筆記,OG 11th 102題
Beatrix Potter,in her book illustrations,carefully coordinating them with her narratives, capitalized on her keen obervation and love of the natural world.

正解 C In her book illustrations, which she carefully corrdinating twith her narratives, Beatrix Potter, in her book illustrations

Logical prediction and Rhetorical construction

This sentence awkardly presents two phrases intended to modify Beatrix Potter and loses the clarity and logic of the meaning. In the original sentenc, these modifiers sound choppy and create too much separation bettween the subject, Beatrix Potter, and the verb capitalized. Beginning the sentence with in her book illustrations and following that phrase with the relative clause which she carefully corrdinated with her narratives allows the subject, Beatrix Potter, to be united with the verb, capitalized for a stronger main clause.

A The modifying elements are poorly placed and leave the subject too far from the verb

C Correct. The correct placement of the modifying elements makes this sentence easier to understand; the use of which clearly links the two elements.

另外 OG 245
245. Unlike Schoenberg's twelve-tone system that dominated the music of the postwar period, Bartok founded
no school and left behind only a handful of disciples.
(C) Schoenberg, whose twelve-tone system dominated
(E) Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system, dominating
C, the best answer, is the only choice that makes a logical comparison: Unlike Schoenberg, .. . Bartok. In E, the comparison is illogical and the modification is ambiguous. Schoenberg andhis system, as a unit, are not only compared to Bartok, an individual, but also credited with having formed a school. .The verb phrase dominating ... is called a "squinting modifier" because it looks in both directions: given the structure of the sentence, it could be meant to modify either Schoenberg and the twelve-tone system or Bartokcolor

所以D的ambiguity很嚴重,有版友解釋說compared to可當副詞修飾語往後那個可當修飾動詞,在我看來正因它可當形容詞修飾語往前又可當副詞修飾語往後才在語意上不清很嚴重,等同OG245所說的"squinting modifier"
即使讓我再選一次我還是選A,因為我對這整句的期盼和情感上,恰恰好就是不希望這4個動詞平衡

totally agree

I CHOSE A TOO!

作者: lyolouhang 时间: 2007-3-29 17:02

A有一个比较致命的错误，我认为，

Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

这里的and好像多余吧？

作者: yzfanglinyun 时间: 2007-3-29 20:52

我也选A.支持A,楼主做学问到这步了,了不起,顶!

作者: annfeifei 时间: 2007-11-7 04:13

D is correct. "compared with most sport utility vehicles" modifies "Mininvans", not "passengers and" , so A is incorrect. In D, there are 2 phrases that modifies "minivans" - "carrying as many as seven passengers", "compared with most sport utility vehicles".

what is the official answer?

作者: keke198537 时间: 2007-11-17 18:26
d is better

作者: even2007 时间: 2007-11-17 18:49

正確答案應該是D

作者: bandito 时间: 2007-11-17 18:58

D这个选择很离谱阿，怎么会有这么多人选择阿，后面的几个分段使修饰对象越来越模糊，且没有任何必要。

A中的compared从句最简单直接的修饰了前面。

楼主选择正确，不过解释得太晦涩啰嗦。

Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers，compared with most sport utility vehicles（修飾Minivans）, cost less， get better gas mileage， allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride. 后接四個并列動詞，這樣的結構很清楚啊

作者: bandito 时间: 2007-11-17 19:48

以下是引用even2007在2007-11-17 19:06:00的发言：

compared with...在这里已经不容易分清到底是在修饰minivans还是在修饰carrying...。后面cost。。。何get。。。面临同样问题。虽然实际上你能猜出句子到底想说什么，但语法结构上已经非常模糊了。

以下是引用bandito在2007-11-17 19:48:00的发言：

沒有絕對正確的句子，相對于A中那個多余的that，我覺得還是選D比較好吧。

正确就是正确，当然不存在绝对正确这种说法了。D后面分出了好几个分段，导致全句意思模糊不清。是一个很差的造句。

你们争论的无非是carry这个动词是不是应该跟后面的几个小并列动词形成大并列。

如果是大并列，选a,如果做修饰，选d.换句话说，到底认为是用“坐着7个人的suv"根“其他交通工具”比，还是仅仅认为是用一般现在时表示suv能装7个人的能力。从逻辑层面看，似乎选a更合理，但d的表达我也没办法否定。

是不是该分成几段，和carry无关。只是一个叙述方式的问题。D的方式造成了整句话意思上的模糊。
