标题: 再问大全985

天山2. Those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk.
(A) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark
(B) see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, whose different colors mark
(C) been seeing layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, whose different colors are markers of
(D) been able to see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors marking
(E) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, marking by different colors

这里是大全解释里面摘抄Kaplan的解释：
The key to getting the right answer for this question is recognizing that the underlined portion of the sentence should not contain pronoun. The answer choices give you the option of replacing with different colors with whose different colors but the second option is wrong because, if you added whose, it could refer to thelayers or the Canon, and whenever a pronoun has more than one possible antecedent (the thing it refer to), it's used incorrectly. Eliminate (B) and (C). (A) is correct.
Eliminate (E) as well because the subject of "marking" is similarly unclear; is it the layer or the Canyon this is marking the passage of time? And (A) is better than (D) because, once again, see is better than the wordier alternative been able to see. (A) is correct

这是大全解释自己的注解（可是答案居然不同，可见Gemj和Jnlvo在答案上有分歧啊）
A中“,with different colors that mark”感觉应该理解成状语修饰主句或者说就是修饰前面的动词seen。参考og113或大全915。
B, C的whose修饰不清。
D的able to多余; 如果with different colors marking是个独立主格结构表原因, 将这个结构还原 because different colors mark the passage of time like the rings, those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically
been able to see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, 但mark和be able to see没有明显的因果关系; 如果
because layers’ colors marking the passage of time like the rings is different, those…been able to see….意思上可能合理。
E中marking修饰不清。

我虽然看着D不顺眼，不过A好象A错的更离谱。后面的with different colors (that从句是修饰成分）不是独立主格，而是一个孤单单的介词结构。介词结构可以放在句中，放在句末对吗？

也就是说，我见过句子，介词结构，句子。但是没见过：句子，介词结构，起码我以with为例在大全里面没有找到。

请问这种句子，介词结构是不是错的？大家有没有见过它是正确的？

我也觉得a比较别扭，但是找到了下面一个例子，不知道能不能说明问题。

Under the restructuring, the huge organization that operates the company’s basic businesses will be divided into five groups, each with its own executive.

(A) each with its own executive

(B) all having their own executive

(D) with its own executive for each

(E) every one with an executive of their own

答案a

这个是独立主格的一个变种，each型，不一样的。

Those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk.
(A) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark
(E) seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, marking by different colors

A is clear and concise,just as good as it can be.

E is not right b/c the clause marking by different colors has several mistakes: 1) Marking refers to who? 2) to make it worse, is this passive? 3)awkward

Hence, the correct answer is A

将这个结构还原 because different colors mark the passage of time like the rings, those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically
been able to see layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, 但mark和be able to see没有明显的因果关系; 如果
because layers’ colors marking the passage of time like the rings is different, those…been able to see….意思上可能合理。

这话什么意思？？？

是怎么把have been able to see 排出的？

don't understand what you mean? why do you want to change it to 因果关系?

I think A is correct. with 短语修饰layers of sendiment,因为太长所以放在后面，中间有逗号表示with短语不是修饰canyon.D项be able to, 表示经过一番努力才看到的，colors 的存在是客观的，看到layers of sendiment 也是必然的，不需要游客在作出什么特别的努力。E 中的by 表示方式和手段，不是marking得主语或是施动者，无论marking 的主语是layers of sendiment 还是 canyon，都改变了原文的意思。原文讲的是colors mark the passage of time,E 讲得是layers of sendiment/canyons mark the passage of time by colors.

With短语因为太长放后面？这点正是我疑惑的地方。能不能把介词结构放在后面？我搜了一下大全，好在逗号＋With的不多，才11题。除了独立主格可以放在后面，其他的With短语都放在句中。

Bihar is India’s state, with an annual percapita income of $111 lower than that of the most impoverished countries of the world. (D-p72-16)
In addition to having more protein than wheat does, rice has protein of higher quality than that in wheat, with more of the amino acids essential to the human diet. (B-p106-19)
From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage yet was so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids. (B-p218-21)
The end of the eighteenth century saw the emergence of prize-stock breeding, with individual bulls and cows receiving awards, fetching unprecedented prices, and exciting enormous interest whenever they were put on show. (B-p142-3)
From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage yet was so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids. (B-p218-21)
The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is known as “ standing waves.”(D-P35-16)
Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline. (B-p218-20)
During the early years of European settlement on a continent that was viewed as “wilderness” by the newcomers, Native Americans, with their intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land, helped to rescue many Pilgrims and pioneers from hardship, or even death. (C-p90-10)
According to some economists, Japan is in danger of plunging into a depression that, with double-digit unemployment, could severely strain a society that regards lifetime employment as a virtual right of citizenship. (A-P1-67)
The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian—vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, with meat as a rarity. (B-p218-11)
Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well. (B-p177-24)

D项be able to, 表示经过一番努力才看到的，colors 的存在是客观的，看到layers of sendiment 也是必然的，不需要游客在作出什么特别的努力。

be able to, 表示经过一番努力才看到的? 不知道你这个从哪里来的解释？From Longman:

a)to have the skill, strength, knowledge etc needed to do something:
b) to be in a situation in which it is possible for you to do something:

E 中的by 表示方式和手段，不是marking得主语或是施动者，无论marking 的主语是layers of sendiment 还是 canyon，都改变了原文的意思。原文讲的是colors mark the passage of time,E 讲得是layers of sendiment/canyons mark the passage of time by colors.

E同意。

Last but not least, thanks for the reply.

突然想起来自己一直不太明白的地方，with是不是也就近修饰呢？

作者: cathyliumei 时间: 2006-7-27 11:45
我是在一个普通的同义词解析上看到的。"to have the skill, strength, knowledge" 不正表示需要经过个人主观努力得到的嘛。原题中说得是游客都能看到layers, 不是需要某些能力和知识的才能看到。be able to有时用于将来时或者完成时代替can. 至于其内在的具体差别可能只有native speaker能体会出来。至于with放在句末，如果紧跟着layers,那么in canyon就得挪到tree trunk 后面，更歧义（layers in the canyon or tree trunk in the canyon." 综合考虑，with 放在句末最好。准确的表达意思就可以了啊。
