什么是“夹心”:所谓“夹心”,既可以作为定语修饰主语,又可以作为状语修饰后面的谓语)很多时候的“夹心”是指在主语和谓语之间加入分词修饰。
这种情况有时候容易被忽略。
下面是我挑出来的几个例子,大家留意一下
Faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and problems at polling places have been cited by a new study of the 2000 United States presidential election, which estimated that they did not count 4 million to 6 million of the 100 million votes cast.
A、没有根据的被动语态;代词they没有指代对象;
B is the best,原来一直以为confusing后面都是修饰faulty voting equipment的表明如何faulty,所以总觉得B很有问题,今天看了http://longdarkteatime.com/2004/09/presidential-election-or-presidential.html的分析,终于搞清楚,faulty voting equipment、confusing ballots、voter error、problem at polling places都是并列的原因,前面两项各估计有1.5~2Million,加起来有4~6 million
C、分词逻辑主语与句子主语不一致;
D、过去完成时没有根据
E、had not been counted过去完成时没有根据;分词位置有歧义(所谓“夹心”,既可以作为定语修饰主语,又可以作为状语修饰后面的谓语);estimated 后面少that
很多时候的“夹心”是指在主语和谓语之间加入分词修饰。
Approved
A. Approved
B. The act of Congress, which was approved
C. The act of Congress approved
D. Approved
E. Approved
A is the best
B,making修饰对象不清,夹心饼干
C,which离修饰对象较远,and 连接established后,与made成为which的部分,整个主句缺乏谓语
D,making修饰对象不清,这种表达方式很笨拙
E,establishing表伴随动作或伴随结果,在此不合适(?)
E选项改变了句子意思表达的重心。

帮楼主贴上这题的解释:
This sentence awkwardly presents two phrases intended to modify Beatrix Potter and loses the clarity and logic of the meaning. In the original sentence, these modifiers sound choppy and create too much separation between the subject, Beatrix Potter, and the verb capitalized Beginning the sentence with in her book illustrations and following that phrase with the relative clause which she carefully coordinated with her narratives allows the subject, Beatrix Potter, to be united with the verb, capitalized, for a stronger main clause.
A The modifying elements are poorly placed and leave the subject too far from the verb
B Phrase carefully coordinating ... illogically modifies the noun that immediately precedes it (book illustrations);
Potter, not the illustrations, did the coordinating; awkward and unclear
C Correct. The correct placement of the modifying elements makes this sentence easier to understand; the use of which clearly links the two elements.
D Carefully coordinated ... absurdly modifies Beatrix Potter rather than her illustrations
E Them cannot refer to book illustrations because the plural noun is the object of the preposition in; the relationships among the parts of the sentence are unclear
The correct answer is C.
其实我并不是很认同楼主对夹心的定义...ing短语往前往后都能做adverbial modifier才算是ing短语的夹心修饰吧。
而且除了最后一题,其他几题LZ所指出的夹心修饰的选项,都是有其他重大错误的选项。
再有,主谓的随意分开并不是上上策,除非是为了句子重心的需要,否则不可以随意分开。台湾小莫利说过他们是夫妻对,分开是inferior的,除非有其他原因。我想,关键问题不在如此夹心!
望后人继续探讨再下定论。
