顶。

我也发现这个问题。

我倾向于A 但OG的答案应该是不会错的。

大牛们快来解释一下。

我也倾向于A.
我觉得OG里有的解释比较牵强.比如这道题,题目并没有表示那个协议一直有效至今.

作者: fiftycents86 时间: 2007-3-10 19:57

是不是因为这本身就是法案的一部分,所以都用一般现在时,但是我觉得这个法案肯定是反对这个举动,所以应该是选A才对啊

OG said the dumping continued into the present. But I can't find any evident can prove that. I would prefer "A"

大全里这个题应该是从白勇书里摘抄出来的，在白勇语法书的第四章第3题。我今天做OG11版发现自己错了，查根揪源原来是受先看了白勇书的影响。我也不知道该选哪个，似乎OG更有道理些。我的语法不是很好，还请大家来看看怎么回事？到底哪个是对的？

这个问题也困惑了很久，怎么没有人回答呢，正确答案到底是哪个啊？请高手出来指点一下。

我比较倾向于相信OG，毕竟最权威

顶上去

按照og的解释是

由于是1972的法案所以由法案发出的动作 reduce 应该用过去时 reduced

而phosphates是一直被允许的，所以用一般现在时。如果用过去完成时，那说明法案减少的只是以前的排放量，但事实是法案减少的是自法案设立后一直被允许的排放量，所以应该现在是。

这道题一直迷惑着很多人，我今天从另外一个论坛里看到一个比较reasonable的解释：全不全真题987第2题的答案应该是错的，答案应该为：D

------------->>>>>

Past perfect is used to suggest that something is over and done with before the main action of the past. It would be OK to say:



    The 1972
        agreement replaced the amount of phosphates that had been allowed with a new amount.



But if you are talking about changing an amount, then the amount existed before and continues to exist after the 1972
    agreement. The present tense is used to refer to something that exists for all time.



    Copernicus revealed that the Earth and the planets all revolve around the Sun.



"Revolve" is in the present tense because it is an action that was then
and continues to take place. It would be wrong to say: "...revealed
that the Earth and the planets revolved..." or "had revolved."



In the sentence under dicussion, there was and continues to be an amount of phosphates that municipalities can dump. The 1972
    agreement reduced the amount, but the amount continues to exist.



I'll try one more example. Suppose I started a new diet last week. I
formerly ate all the red meat I wanted. Under the new diet I allow
myself to eat only 100 grams a day.



    The diet I started last week reduced the amount of red meat I am allowed to eat to 100 grams a day.



It would be wrong to say:



    The diet I started last week reduced the amount of red meat I had been allowed to eat to 100 grams a day.

**************************************************************************************************************
How can a agreement reduce something that has already been dumped?

Choice D is perfect.

A is ,initially, awfully tempting.

Brilliant Question!!
