忘了说答案了。。
Answers: A.B
问题在于第一题中的IT出现在前面,不会产生指代不明的问题吗?第二题的指代就更离谱了,前面有N个名词被他指啊,况且it还是指代前面的整一个事的。。。
牛牛们指教
我觉得第一题应该选B,its应该是修饰proposal吧
第二题我觉得选A,B里面不是应该one fail(s)吗?
大家讨论下
呵呵,谢谢iamhere啦!可是正确答案是A和B,觉得有点奇怪。
对于第一题,之前上XDF时记得听老师说it放在所指代词的前面会产生指代歧义云云,结果一上来就把ABC给杀了。。。至今不明所以。。。至于第二题,it放在一大堆名词后面,而且还表示对前面整一事件的指代,这样可以吗?
指代不清的问题比较复杂,不能一概而论
我这里有个方法,当有指代不清的嫌疑时,看该代词能不能指代离它最近的那个单词,如果指代没有问题,就不能说这个代词指代不清
its就近指代proposal,没有问题
注意:whatever its merits=whatever its merits are
谢谢楼上的NN啦,受益受益!!终于明白了,之前也是觉得whatever那里怪怪的。。。。多谢指出!
不过对于第二题的it还是不明白哦,也不能就近指代啊。。。还请指正
第二题我选C
B选项,it没有指代, the lowest price中的price多余,而且句子结构笨拙,复杂,显然没有C好
对了,还有个问题,为什么第一题不可以选E的呢?
According to some analysts, whatever the proposal`s merits are, taxing away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.有问题吗?
是呀,我也选C了,但答案是B,极度郁闷。。。。
当蓝书印错好了,嘿嘿。。。
谢谢GG!
原句的主语是proposal,E的主语是taxing,改变了原句的意思
哦哦,涉及逻辑了。。
明白,谢谢啦!
