大全：110. An attempt to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago, has been unsuccessful despite efforts by many important groups, including the National Organization for Women. (A) to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago, (B) begun almost two decades ago, for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment (C) begun for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment almost two decades ago (D) at ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment, begun almost two decades ago, (E) that has begun almost two decades ago to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment
在这个句子里，begun almost two decades ago做attempt的定语。和后面的have been并不是并列的关系。作者: czw69 时间: 2003-11-13 06:27
大全：110."在这个句子里，begun almost two decades ago做attempt的定语" 是否可表达为： An attempt ，which begun almost two decades ago, to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, has been unsuccessful despite......
同样： t2 ，是否可表达为：Lincoln, who discovered in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned before him, knew....
这样时态对应的不更好吗？作者: 深海的小美人鱼 时间: 2003-11-13 07:56
大全：110."在这个句子里，begun almost two decades ago做attempt的定语" 是否可表达为： An attempt ，which begun almost two decades ago, to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, has been unsuccessful despite 我觉得你把attempt 和to ratify the Equal Rights 分开那么远是不对的 而这里用过去分词不用定从就是避免歧义。而且这样一改句子很不简洁。而且结构也很零散。作者: 深海的小美人鱼 时间: 2003-11-13 07:59
Lincoln, who discovered in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned before him, knew....
你当然可以这样表达。但是我还是觉得分词在这里更简洁。同时，我认为，gmat的语法就是在那5个选项里找最好的。否则容易见木不见林。 作者: 深海的小美人鱼 时间: 2003-11-13 08:01
同时我对于这个题也有疑问的是，我认为that the Yankee peddler had learned before him的确应该用过去完成时态作者: czw69 时间: 2003-11-13 09:52
B) Discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, Lincoln knew
knew 是过去时，that the Yankee peddler has learned before him 是现在时，过去是不可能确切知道现在的事情。所以B 不应该是最好的选项。作者: cavabien 时间: 2003-11-13 11:41
in the sentence :"begun.....", 过去分词做后置定语也好,做分词壮语从句也好,还原之后 都应有被动态的味道.所以那到题不能选有discovered的选项.作者: mjiehu 时间: 2003-11-13 13:11

以下是引用mjiehu在2003-11-13 13:11:00的发言： lincoln
C.
2.Lincoln, discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, knew how to use a good story to generate good will A) Lincoln, discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, knew B) Discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, Lincoln knew C) Lincoln, discovering the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned in young manhood before him, knew D) In young manhood Lincoln discovered the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned before him; E) Lincoln, discovered in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned before him, knew
answer C "in young manhood" is in the wrong place, distort the orgin meaning. however "has learned" in A is really hard to explain.
