(was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Russian in attempting to stop him from writing another book.) b. (was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Russian in its attempt to stop him from writing another book.)
I like B better.
for a, attempting looks like "writer attempting". but for b, not comfortable with "its". any opnions? 作者: braveMBA 时间: 2003-9-20 05:50
B。in its attempt to do是不错的形式。且it决不会指代a famous writer，应该用his来指代。但是指代Russian可以。作者: joice 时间: 2003-9-20 06:48
I agree.作者: freegirl 时间: 2003-9-20 22:23
我认为 A 好。因为前半部分的被动式表示了Russia 是 主动执行者，也是 attempt 的动作发起者。作者: gemj 时间: 2003-9-21 01:11
我也觉得B好，ITS明确了Russian后面的 “in its attempt to stop him from writing another book”动作执行者是RUSSIAN；避免了被误认为是a famous writer的嫌疑。作者: sbbi 时间: 2003-9-21 01:13
