标题: 请教proposal 的用法
26. According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.
(A) its merits, the proposal to tax
(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing
(C) its merits as a proposal, taxing
(D) the proposal’s merits, to tax
(E) the proposal’s merits are, taxing
选a,我选了b.谁能说说proposal的用法?

proposal to do something

proposal of doing sth 一定不可以吗? gemj哥哥?

作者: gemj 时间: 2003-10-25 23:51
至少LONGMAN2003上没有，而且这个词典的用法收录得挺全的。
不过我再找找其他资料。

有逻辑上有一个这样的句子：
It provides a basis for excluding as unacceptable one obvious alternative to the proposal of fining owners of burglar alarm systems for false alarms.

可以这么理解吗?proposal to 优先proposal of doing?
gemj哥哥,太谢谢你啦!

我觉得还应该考虑前面是whatever its merits,还是whatever its merits may be,不过这一点我也没把握，期待大牛指点中...

再来一个proposal of sth的用法

12. Darwin was not the first to advance a theory of evolution; his tremendous originality lay in the fact that he proposed the idea of natural selection as the means by which evolution worked.
(A) lay in the fact that he proposed the idea
(B) lay in the fact of his proposing the idea
(C) laid in the fact of his proposing the idea
(D) laid in his proposal
(E) lay in his proposal

proposal for
the government's proposals for regulation of the industry

proposal to do something
The committee put forward a proposal to reduce the time limit.

区别难道是前半段?

作者: dandan74 时间: 2003-10-27 06:20
个人觉得以前面的merit为判据比较好，may be 不好，因为whatever已经表示了may be的意思，所以重复，不简洁。此外
proposal to do sth.
Proposal for sth.
我觉得这两种说法都可以，但是意思有细微差别， to do sth的是在说proposal的内容，而for doing sth.是在说proposal 的目的。
proposal of doing sth好像不是很好。 remeo举的那个例子中，idea是propose 的宾语，所以感觉不是很一样。
个人之见

Great! agree with dandan74! thanks

作者: dandan74 时间: 2003-10-27 13:18
我也觉得很有收获，也谢谢你。以前没有注意 whatever 和maybe 的重复含义，现在也可以
把它列入“简洁”的database了。个人感觉 concise是改错精髓之一，老美可以凭预感，我们凭积累！

真理越辩越明,谢谢各位

我在做阅读的时候发现这样一个句子 OG249－252题的那篇阅读第二段的第二句

Whatever Eisenstein's overall plan may have been, in its current form her study suffers from the limited nature of the sources she depended on.

这里的whatever后面和前面的题几乎一个模子所以B是可以的。难道原题还是侧重于proposal的用法？

顶一下大家讨论下啊

作者: sbbi 时间: 2003-10-28 09:45
没有proposal of doing的用法.只有proposal of marriage的讲法(也许可以说proposal of marrying me. hehe...) 但这里proposal是求婚的意思.

proposal for/proposal to do something是正解

作者: sbbi 时间: 2003-10-28 09:47
(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing
而且B里的may be不简洁.

作者: joywzy 时间: 2003-10-31 19:43
whatever its merits

这是什么意思啊？

作者: miejue 时间: 2003-10-31 19:54

以下是引用joywzy在2003-10-31 19:43:00的发言：
whatever its merits

这是什么意思啊？

姑且不论它的益处
