标题: 请教白勇第五章的第18题

18. Once the economic and social usefulness of the motor car was demonstrated and with its superiority to the horse being proved,much of the early hostility to it in rural regions disappeared.

A and with ite superiority to the horse being

B and its superiority over the horse had been

C and its superiority to the horse

D its superiority over the horse

E with its superiority to the horse having been

答案是B 我选了E.

A C D可以明显排除~

但是觉得B用过去完成时没什么时间标志,

以及 be superior to sth应该是习惯用法

白勇排除E项是这么说的:

ING分词的完成时态不能做定语修饰名词.

E选项,ING分词的完成时态HAVING BEEN放在名词HORSE后面,作定语修饰HORSE,错~

我看不懂了~既然说不能作定语修饰名词,怎么有说作定语修饰HORSE.

请教大牛~~

您的疑惑是什么？

基本上 HAVING BEEN的表达方式都是错误的，我也不清楚你的问题到底是什么，不过这题是大全552，LZ可以查大全注释或者讨论连接里的前人讨论。白勇的解释有时候并不完全对。

552, sec10-15

A) and前后不平行。
B) 时态错。
C) best. 可认为proved前省was. superiority 应用to
D) 大错。
E) 大错。

In choice C, the best answer, the main predication usefulness…was demonstrated is paralleled by superiority [was] proved, with [was] omitted as understood. In choices A and E, the prepositional phrase beginning with…violates this parallelism; in A, B, and E, the verb forms being, had been, and having been are not consistent with the simple past tense in was demonstrated. The phrase superiority over is unidiomatic in B and D: x is superior to y, not over y. D is also faulty because no function word, such as the conjunction and, grammatically connects its superiority… to the rest of the sentence.
