标题: [讨论]OG11th-56

56. In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, so that it absorbs the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.

(A) act as a buffer, so that it absorbs

(B) act like a buffer so as to absorb

(D) acting as a buffer, absorbing

(E) acting like a buffer, absorb

选C？

1.搭配：act like: to behave orcomport oneself and descriges the action of a person

act as: describes the function of a thing

2.平行：absorbing...and protecting...

Is "that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer...." modifying "rocks"?

作者: zhaoyak7 时间: 2006-7-8 00:38
修饰breakwater，这是英语中常的表达方式——长宾语后至，以达到句子结构平衡的目的，避免头重脚轻，而且如果把“ of rocks ”放在后面就更难理解了。

请教absorbing...and protecting...在这里做什么成份呢？

作者: huixia06 时间: 2006-7-28 23:14

“proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks”中，结构是怎么分析的呢？

我的观点是，“parallel to shore”前置了，因为“a breakwater of rocks"后面要接that引导的定语从句。这样的话，building在句中是动词的词性，而不是我之前认为的名词。但我查过longman字典，propose是及物动词，只有propose to do的用法，没提可以propose doing。我又查了google，好像propose doing的用法在某些时候也存在的。

不知道哪个对？如果propose doing的用法成立的话，那这道题的结构就很好理解了，否则要再想一想。

谢谢。

我觉得是把长宾语a breakwater of rocks that ...后置

absorbing...and protecting...在这里是修饰buffer用的

作者: coolhany 时间: 2006-8-22 16:34

absorbing...and protecting...在这里是修饰buffer用的

我觉得这样用有歧义，分词优先修饰主句的主语the Army Corps of Engineers 。难不成是就近修饰？请DX指教。

作者: FlowerJay 时间: 2006-9-10 17:23

我记得有一种说法是 A of B that，这里that就近修饰B,后面的absorbing进行时优先修饰主句，也就是rocks (如果that是修饰rocks的话)

DX给点意见，分析一下

我也有相同的疑惑

作者: 叽里咕噜 时间: 2006-10-24 11:00

我觉得这里的分词结构用在句尾，是表示伴随结果，其原因就是前面的内容，没有逻辑主语。

The following explanation form LONGMAN

【SUGGEST】
[T]
formal to suggest something as a plan or course of action
→proposal
　the changes currently proposed by the local planning authorities
　the proposed budget cuts
propose that
　In his speech he proposed that the UN should set up an emergency centre for the environment.
propose doing sth
　The report also proposes extending the motorway.

【INTEND】
[T]
formal to intend to do something
propose to do sth
　How does he propose to deal with the situation?
propose doing sth
　We still don't know how the company proposes raising the money.

my question is what is difference between propose to do and propose doing ??

作者: magico 时间: 2007-1-3 01:51

同意parallel to shore前置了，正常语序为proposed building a breakwater of rocks
（that）parallel to shore

也就是说that省略了，此处为定语从句，先行词为breakwater 为主句宾语，所以省略。

open to discuss!!

longman关于propose的解释如下：

pro‧pose / prəˈpəʊz $ -ˈpoʊz /
1
▶SUGGEST◀

ￚsee also proposal the changes currently proposed by the local planning authorities the proposed budget cuts

propose doing something
The report also proposes extending the motorway.
2
▶MEETING◀
[transitive]to formally suggest a course of action at a meeting and ask people to vote on it
propose a motion/amendment/resolution etc The resolution was proposed by the chairman of the International Committee.
propose somebody for something
Mr Leesom proposed Mrs Banks for the position of Treasurer (=he suggested formally that she should be the treasurer) .
3
▶THEORY◀
[transitive] to suggest an idea, method etc as an answer to a scientific question or as a better way of doing something

4
▶INTEND◀

5

6

因此propose doing是成立的

我的感觉如下，不知对否：

parrallel to shore并非省略了that并的定语从句，否则会加s为parallels（先行词breakwater单数），此处parallel为形容词，见longman:parallel
1
two lines, paths etc that are parallel to each other are the same distance apart along their whole length
Lines AB and CD are parallel. two parallel roads
parallel to
She was travelling parallel to her previous route.
parallel with
The railway is parallel with the canal.
Take the road running parallel to the main road just after the village.
2
formal similar and happening at the same time
Social changes in Britain are matched by parallel trends in some other countries.

我的感觉如下，不知对否：

同意parralle to shore并非省略了that的定语从句。见OX dictionanary 6th edition

parralle

adj 1 (～ to/with sth) two or more lines that are parrel to each other are the same distance apart at every point

2 very similar or taking place at the same time

3(computing) involving several computer operations at the same time

名词用法省略

verb(writen) 1 to be similar to sth; to happen at the time as sth

2to be good as sth

在看韦氏大辞典关于parallel的解释（就说ETS就是用韦氏大辞典来解释的）

4

adverb

parallel那句话是定语从句，parallel是动词做谓语，取第四个意思.

前置是为了让后面的that指代breakwater更清晰，因为breakwater of rocks的核心是breakwater,也就是核心词的问题。

在前面关于og的讨论中有核心词的帖子，大家找找。

再次整理og，查阅了字典，牛津第六版，1380页，的确有propose doing的用法。

作者: maomao521 时间: 2007-11-24 16:17

问（A）里面so that前面加逗号，对么？

作者: dan2007 时间: 2007-12-2 04:10
A choice. OG explains that should be "so that it obsorbing"
does "so that" can be used in this way?

Thanks

作者: rockmax 时间: 2008-5-4 22:22

absorbing , protecting 被 that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer 分开, 其实是修饰 breakwater...

句了主干是, Engineers proposed building a breakwater of rocks (that...), obsorbing the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.

以下是引用seasnow在2006-1-20 14:33:00的发言：

(A) act as a buffer, so that it absorbs

(B) act like a buffer so as to absorb

(D) acting as a buffer, absorbing

(E) acting like a buffer, absorb

选C？

如果该句中的protecting改为protect是不是A就正确了？

作者: huyannancy 时间: 2008-9-22 02:32

根据句意可知,一定要是absorbing和后面的protecting平行，作为结果状语修饰前面的主句。欢迎指正。

作者: winbie 时间: 2008-9-29 12:38
i think the absorbing .... and protecting can be
1. 定语 modifying either breakwater or buffer, but not sure which one?
2. 结果状语, modifying the purpose or consequence of the entire action.

显然第二个把

作者: terry_run 时间: 2009-9-4 01:49

I think "-ing"s, absorbing and pretecting was clearly describing about "buffer"

This is exactly what buffer means.

作者: zoeykao 时间: 2009-11-19 17:10
但是OG的解释
"the last part of the sentence describes the breakwater...."

我也是有这个疑问,动词现在分词到底是修饰的哪个,是前面的"Army Corp of engineer" 还是"breakwater as a buffer,absorbing....", 要是修饰后面的,那又是"breakwater"还是"buffer"呢?

作者: tietie123 时间: 2010-4-10 16:35
也有同感，句尾-ing不是有两个作用1、与句子谓语同时发生2、伴随结果。
为什么这句的句尾-ing是就进修饰，不过的确是逻辑上说的通，但是“buffer”or“breakwater”逻辑上都讲得通，搞不清修饰哪一个，还有其他例子，句尾—ing就进修吗？

希望NN来指教

作者: li2966262 时间: 2011-2-3 08:44
回楼上的前面已经说过了，现在分词作伴随结果的时候没有逻辑主语，是修饰前面整个句子或者整个动作带来的结果。

某位nn总结的
SVO，doing
A.分词优先作状语（伴随状语，结果状语）
B.其次作定语，但没有定语从句清晰，会有修饰歧义
所以在这里，是做了定语
