标题: prep 107
107. The United States will be affected by whether Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo, since the island nation is the United States’ seventh-largest trading partner.
A. The United States will be affected by whether Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo
B. Whether or not Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo affecting the United States
C. Whether or not Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or the status quo is preserved, it will affect the United States
D. It affects the United States whether Taiwan will develop a closer relationship with mainland China or preserves the status quo
E. It affects the United States whether or not Taiwan will develop a closer relationship with mainland China or preserve the status quo
A: correct
B: 没有谓语,(wether or not没有与之对应的主句)
C: 两个句子并列没有联词(
D: whether … or … 不平行
E: it affects … 不是主语从句的用法
这道题选出答案是没问题,可是不理解C项的解释,whether 不是连词吗?我排除这个选项是因为it的指代有有歧义。
请大家解惑。

whether引导的应该是主语从句吧~

还是不明白,我很菜的,请在详细解释一下。谢谢!

"Whether or not Taiwan develops a closer relationship with mainland China or the status quo is preserved" 整句就是主语了. C里又来个it, 就变成两个主语了.

哦,可是,我觉得it可以充当形式主语阿,来代替前面的整个句子,否则会显得头大身子小。是不是本选项的主要错误应该是whether or , ...or ....的用法呢?

如果视it 为形式主语, 恰好可以解释 两个句子并列没有连词.
这个选项比较难看的地方是 or the status quo is preserved,其一,被动语态:有悖能用主动不用被动惯例.不但和前句的主动语态不平行,且 the status qua 做主语,句子含义不够clear;同时,把可以用一主两谓清晰表达的结构变成了两个并列的句子,有悖简洁原则.

I see~ Thanks LS, 那如果加连词的话应该加什么样的连词呢?因为对主语从句的概念还不是很清晰....
多谢了!

这个选项不值得LZ深入探讨,因为它不是好结构--知道它不是好的选项, 不好在哪里, 蛮好了, 你说呢?
作者: Lujs8061 时间: 2007-6-22 10:06
Ok, just let it be there ba, hope I will never meet such kinds of problem, thanks dear LS.
作者: fullmarks 时间: 2007-6-22 10:17
再罗嗦一句, 这个选项的大结构就不是好结构, 见到就PASS掉.

恩!就这么定了!
