GWD-17-14 请指教 - ChaseDream

徘徊在A,B之间,答案给的是B,可我觉得industries that are more established不如the more established industries来得好;但是A里面的as companies that compete也不好,该怎么取舍呢?

另外想问一下,如果不考虑对称,A中的in the internet industry放的位置会不会产生歧义?

介词词组的位置好像没有什么规律可循。多做些题，慢慢有语感就好了。

Q14:

Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete one day may be partners the next.

Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete

Although the lines of competition are clearly defined in industries that are more established, they are blurred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as competing companies

The lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, unlike the Internet where they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete

Unlike more established industries, where the lines of competition are clearly defined, they are burred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as companies that compete

Unlike more established industries, with clearly defined lines of competition, those of the Internet industry are blurred and indistinct, as competing companies

请大家指点一下,谢谢了

我有记得~~~more + adj + n 会造成修饰上的歧义~~~~因为你不知道more是修饰adj~~还是修饰n~~~~所以这里B选项是最清楚表达的~~~~~

Look at A: Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete one day may be partners the next.

I think it is really a problem of modifier place , but of "one day" not of "in the Internet industry". The only flaw of A, in my view, is that the "one day" will be easilly supposed to modify "compete". However, in fact, the author meaningly uses "one day" to modify "may be". It is not logiclly correct to suppose that "one day" is used to modify "compete" because, tesified by common sense, the competing status of companies should not just last "one day" but a relative long time.

one day是一个adv.词组，用来修示adj.而不是名词，所以A中的that compete one day是说的过去，但是B中的competing companies one day就不对了。

A中的lines为泛指，泛指的可以用a/ an + 名词或者是名词（单数for不可数），名词（Pl. for 可数）来表示，B中的the lines为特指。在这里应该是用泛指更合乎逻辑意思。

至于其他的问题，比如说大家讨论的平行啊，修示歧义，应该不存在。
