Deliberately imitating the technique of Louis Armstrong, jazz singer Billie Holiday’s
approach to singing was to use her voice like an instrument, in that she ranged
freely over the beat, flattened out the melodic contours of tunes, and, in effect,
recomposed songs to suit her range, style, and artistic sensibilities.
A. Billie Holiday’s approach to singing was to use her voice like an instrument,
in that she ranged freely over the beat, flattened.
B. Billie Holiday’s approach to singing was to use her voice in a similar way
to how other musicians play instruments, in ranging freely over the beat,
flattening.
C. Billie Holiday approached singing by using her voice like other musicians
played instruments, ranging freely over the beat, flattening.
D. Billie Holiday used her voice in the same way that other musicians use their
instruments, in that she ranged freely over the beat, flattening.
E. Billie Holiday approached singing by using her voice like other musicians
Instruments, ranging freely over the beat, flattening.
請教大家這題, 答案給D, 我覺得D的in the same way that other musicians use their
instruments確實好, 但是難道ranged/flettened/recomposed不用平衡嗎, 這樣看答案變成只有Ａ了, 有點搞不懂, 請指教...
偶不是NN，第一步：排除A、B，因为句首的逻辑主语要求是人。答案只能从C、D、E中选。C和E也不对，如平行 ranging和 flattening如平行，要加and ; D中没有别的错误，答案应该为D。
支持5楼
vote for A, ranged and recomposed parallel, flattening out is only to explaining ranged so do not need parallel.
Open to discuss
考点：逻辑主语；平行；修饰；
A，B 逻辑主语不对；
C: randing…., flattening…., 可以修饰主语Billie Holiday，也可以修饰other musicians，造成修饰歧异；
D：randing…., flattening….,可以修饰主语BH，也可以修饰other musicians Instruments，造成修饰歧异；
E：She ranged sth, doing, and recomposed sth. 平行正确，doing修饰主语she。
我认为选A.
"imitate的主语必须是人"这种说法是错的.
依据LONGMAN:
imitate解释2:to copy something because you think it is good
例1:vegetarian products which imitate meat
例2:The Japanese have no wish to imitate Western social customs and attitudes.
例一中主语是物,而例二中主语是人.
所以,光凭"Deliberately imitating the technique"这一点就排除A和B不合适.
虽然我不理解range freely over the beat和flatten out the melodic contours是什么意思,但是我认为句末给了提示:to suit her range,style and artistic sensibilities.这三个结果应该与前面那三个动词(range, flatten, recompose)对应.从这个角度考虑,就只有A合适.
另外,flatten contours好像是指"缩小前后相邻的音的变化,使整个旋律更平滑"(参考"A flattened contour has a narrow range of pitches from the high to low points."------摘自http://edu.stuccess.com/knowcenter/Instrumental/yuelijichu/jazz/00000000/aoibook2.pdf),这么个过程似乎与recompose平行才说得过去.
还找到这么一段关于Billie Holiday的东西:
To keep the music interesting, Billie changed her voice and timing slightly while repeating the same lyrics. She claimed that she never liked to sing a song the same way twice. She loved the styles of Louis Armstrong and the great blues singer Bessie Smith, and learned to use her voice like an instrument, a skill that helped her attract the attention of talented jazz bandleaders.------摘自http://pbskids.org/jazz/nowthen/billie.html
方法不会自己去模仿别人的方法，一定是有人去模仿。
