PREP2-28 考前求助,望NN们帮助解惑 - ChaseDream

In 1997, despite an economy that marked its sixth full year of uninterrupted expansion with the lowest jobless rate in a quarter century, the number of

United States

citizens declaring themselves bankrupt has jumped by almost 20 percent, at 1.34 million.

1.怎么能用现在分词declaring修饰一个过去行为呢?1997年的动作. 现在分词不是有动作持续到现在的含义么?觉得稍有不妥

2.分词可以就近修饰么?不是说分词修饰句子的主语么?主语不是number么? 就是修饰的中心词也是number啊...

答案选B

我有两个疑问:

1.怎么能用现在分词declaring修饰一个过去行为呢?1997年的动作. 现在分词不是有动作持续到现在的含义么?觉得稍有不妥

2.分词可以就近修饰么?不是说分词修饰句子的主语么?主语不是number么? 就是修饰的中心词也是number啊...

快考试了还搞不清楚,望大家帮忙~

现在分词declaring修饰这里表示的是主动的意思。这里修饰的是citizens，不是一个动作。分词当然可以就近修饰，LZ说的修饰主语的情况是分词在句首或者句末是需要考虑逻辑主语。句首当然是修饰主语，句末就比较复杂了，可以修饰主句主语，从句主语，或者前面整句，也可能是宾语，这只能靠句意来判断。像本题这样在句中的遵循就近原则。

就是说establishing and using可以修饰Athens，或者General Mohammed 。所以有歧义

原来看到过说分词就近修饰,也是修饰中心词, 看来也不能当个规律记了.

这位小友，我是位新手。很很高兴在这里认识你。我一直在CD上寻找PREP的破解版的300多道题，但好像没找对地方。请问能发给我个相关连接么？感激涕零。

分词修饰不是有“一直在进行”的含义么？declare 这种词可以一直持续下去么？？还是说他们不多的一直在declare...
