据鬼子说选DA location,后面不要加whether
B 就不用说了
C form 似乎有点问题吧?
D location 是单数么。(所以选它)
E 复数的
我语法不好 个人浅见 (也没觉得这道题很难阿)
。。。。。
我以为选E,后面这句话不是修饰location的吧,应该是前面整句话。
偶是进来学习的agree and Supplement
A location,后面不要加whether
B 就不用说了
C location would be from, adding “would” changes the meaning of the original sentence. The “location” in the subordinated clause is referring to the “location” in the main sentence, using “it” will make it more clear and concise。Anyways, as ETS would say, C is wordy and awkward
D any location works the same as anyone/anybody/anything, require singular verb
E 复数的
我语法不好 个人浅见 (也没觉得这道题很难阿)
same here.
agree and Supplement
A location,后面不要加whether --why?
在Prep里面看到过wheter这种结构,whether A, B, or C 和 be it A, B, or C 我觉得意思没啥大的区别吧
Prep 21
21. Shipwrecks are more likely to be found undisturbed at great depths than in shallow costal waters, which exposes archaeological remains to turbulence and makes them accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether they be
archaeologist, treasure hunter, or sport diver. B
A. than in shallow costal waters, which exposes archaeological remains to turbulence and makes them accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether they be
B. than in shallow costal waters, where archaeological remains are exposed to turbulence and are accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether
C. as opposed to shallow waters along the coast, where archaeological remains are exposed to turbulence and accessible to anyone in scuba gear, including
D. instead of in shallow waters along the coast, which exposes archaeological remains to turbulence and making them accessible to anyone in scuba gear, including an
E. instead of shallow coastal waters, because it exposes archaeological remains to turbulence and make them accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether
不懂whether与be it的区别,不过A中rooftop building site 和underground parking site作为单数名词,前面必须加a or an, 否则应象E中成为复数名词,
C中be that location would be 错
D,E比较个人觉得D更舒服,后面的with no signal at all是正确用法,一般不说no signals,
just my two cents

这里不好意思地质疑一下你的例子:“are accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether they be 你这个whether是针对 前面的ANYONE的,没说 : are accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether gold gear with diamond or test gear with GMAT on it. 而且whether 完全不是判断点,你觉得呢?
archaeologist, treasure hunter, or sport diver.”
你这个whether是针对 前面的ANYONE的,没说 :
are accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether gold gear with diamond or test gear with GMAT on it.
而且whether 完全不是判断点,你觉得呢?
另外:我个人是英语专业的,很多事情都是能说是语感,个人对英文的理解是千万不要去拿汉语套。
在英文里面whether是无论的意思,但是在汉语里面无论绝对不是whether的意思,查阅牛津和韦氏字典如下:
• conjunction
1 expressing a doubt or choice between alternatives. 2 expressing an enquiry or investigation. 3 indicating that a statement applies whichever of the alternatives mentioned is the case.
— USAGE
Whether and if are more or less interchangeable in sentences such as I’ll see whether he left an address and I’ll see if he left an address, although whether is more formal and more suitable for written use.
— ORIGIN Old English.
韦氏:
1
archaic
: which one of the two
2
archaic
: whichever one of the two
希望对你有帮助
另外推荐一个好咚咚:
不懂就查,学英文抛弃汉语先。

这里不好意思地质疑一下你的例子:“are accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether they be 我举这个例子的目的是提问的,不是想拿这个例子来说明什么问题。whether和be it...的区别是什么,到底怎么用?JJ说whether不能如何如何,我不懂,问个why,JJ你讲了那么多,还是没有回答我的point。我想是我8楼那个帖子话没说清吧 你这个whether是针对 前面的ANYONE的,没说 : are accessible to anyone in scuba gear, whether gold gear with diamond or test gear with GMAT on it. whether是针对anyone的,so what呢?我也可以说楼主给的题目whether是针对前面的location啊,为什么不可以? 而且whether 完全不是判断点,你觉得呢? 我同意,所以这个Prep的题我也没错。只是在这里看到类似的选项,提出来不好么?
archaeologist, treasure hunter, or sport diver.”

谢谢JJ提醒!但是不好意思我也要置疑一下你的判断,JJ怎么知道我没有查字典呢?大家不都是在自己的问题没法得到解决的时候才求助CD的么?如果大家都靠字典就可以解决所有疑问,还要CD干什么?JJ贴出来的解释我仔细看了,但是还是没有解决我的问题。语法实在太菜,各位见笑了。谢谢JJ指点,共同进步

所以whether就是说:二选一。不是无论。虽然我们这么翻译。
我给的那个例子,whether是答案,是对的,但是后面接了3个,所以我才有此一问。
同样,LZ这个题目,是二选一,但是确没有选whether。
...........
不用反应这么强烈吧?
我一向觉得自己英语不好的 别把我问晕了
因为那个location,讲的不是二选一的问题,所以我觉得它后面不能用whether。仅此而已阿。
至于你举的那个例子,我还没有做呢,(因为我语法比较差,做估计也做不对。)我只是觉得第一道题的错误选项可以用whether排除,所以去讨论whether在这里的用法,而你说的那道题目,并不是用whether来判断的,所以,并不能说明这两个词的用法就有什么冲突。我说我觉得这两句子结构不太一样。
而且,并不见得某种说法就一定不对,而是某种说法可能比较起来更好。(XDF不就是这么说的?)
比如LZ的例子,我就觉得如果是 any location whether ... 会比 be it ......好一点(当然可能我的看法完全是错的)
我没有质疑你不查字典,而是不在location后面加whether纯粹因为我觉得,可能会觉得用whether的比较好的理由是翻译过来:一个地点,无论它是。。。或者。。。听起来是一个比较好的句子,所以我错误觉得你也是因为这个觉得whether会比be it 好。我只是联想起来了就随便说说:觉得查英文字典很多时候对解题很有帮助的,不见得就是所谓“语法”问题。我也只是觉得查字典有帮助,可没在家查字典不来CD。
如果语法上面没有问题的话,我个人也觉得whether比be it听起来舒服点。
顺便说一句,我的语法奇差无比,可以说根本不懂,做题大多时候只是凭感觉的。因为我学英语时候根本没有学语法。
另外我还犯了一个主观判断的错误:我以为大多数人学英语是不查英文原版字典,倾向于使用中文字典。
我所谓的不懂就查那句话的意思是:实在闹不明白英文词和词之间有什么区别的话,不妨查查英文字典,可能就茅塞顿开。
(个人感受,纯粹主观)
我的point就是说:我觉得这两个用法没有冲突。没有反应强烈,只是我的问题还是没有解决,对于你针对我说的话,表达了我的疑惑而已。
扯太远了,回到原题上来吧,问题没解决呢
查了半天,好像是 whether it be可以省略为 be it,只有dictionary.sina.com.hk上有解释,但还打不开网页。
如果,上面的解释正确的话,那么就意味着whether也可以用于修饰多个可能性的。
一个网页时有这段话,应该是原文,但有意思的是它用了 whether it be,见http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0IGM/is_1_8/ai_76813642,当然也不排除ETS认为原文不规范而进行了改写 。
我倒是倾向于whether只能用于描述两者的情况,但又怎么解释上面的原文呢?而且D中的be it=whether it be(姑且先这么认为吧)
如过whether也可以用于修饰多个可能性的话,我感觉A的问题可能在句子结构,也就是
...any location的whether最好作为连词引导一个句子,感觉A中的 any location, whether sth1 or sth2.有些怪,虽然whether最为连词也可以引导并列词组。见 Longman

抛砖引玉啊,多多讨论。
