标题: 补充250题第160
160.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

Amendment是begin的执行者，这里begin用过去分词形式妥当吗？

BEGUN的逻辑主语应该是An attempt。

attempt 不是逻辑主语吧?不得如果是的话就不会用过去分词了

begun 应该是修饰Amendment 的，无论是从插入语就近修饰看，或是自身形式看（如修饰Attempt则应用begnning），至于amendment 与begun搭配我想是因为有“被创于”的意思吧

D为什么不行？LONGMAN有attempt at (doing) sth.的用法。

不会又是ETS的山规吧？

找到根据了：OG36的最后一句解释：

1. Bufo marinus toads, fierce predators that will eat frogs, lizards, and even small birds, are native to South America but were introduced into Florida during the 1930’s in an attempt to control pests in the state’s vast sugarcane fields.

(A) are native to South America but were introduced into Florida during the 1930’s in an attempt to control

(B) are native in South America but were introduced into Florida during the 1930’s as attempts to control

(D) had been native to South America but were introduced to Florida during the 1930’s as an attempt at controlling（A）

(E) had been natives of South America but were introduced to Florida during the 1930’s as attempts at controlling

Choice A is best. The phrasing are native to correctly suggests that the toad species is indigenous to, and still exists in, South America. In B, native in is unidiomatic; in C and E, natives of illogically suggests that each toad now in Florida hails from (hail from: v.来自) South America. In D and E, had been inaccurately implies that the toads are no longer native, or indigenous, to South America, and introduced to Florida is unidiomatic. Both as attempts in B and E and as an attempt in D are wrong because the attempt consists not of the toads themselves, but of their introduction into the environment. The correct phrase, in an attempt, should be completed by an infinitive (here, to control), as in A.

虽然attempt was begun是合语法的, 但过去分词短语放中间真不是好的表达, 会有模糊修饰, 不过其他答案更糟, 只有矮子里找长子了.

请问这道题E为什么不对呢？

作者: Avantasia 时间: 2005-6-7 08:06
用完成时改变了原文事件的逻辑先后顺序, 不对.

作者: testtech 时间: 2005-6-7 08:38

那么begun在句中表达被动？感觉很别扭。

如果E中“has begun"改为“began"是不是就对了呢？

作者: Avantasia 时间: 2005-6-7 09:01

一个建议: 不要改答案.

E里面即使时态正确, 把attempt to do分开也是不如A好, 位置比较容易产生修饰歧义.

多谢版主指点

作者: asupls 时间: 2007-5-13 19:48

请教begun在句子中到底是修饰谁呢，感觉好奇挂啊，begun过去分词，难道开始还有被开始的吗？

请NN指教，谢谢拉

作者: lijiahui0422 时间: 2009-7-29 13:47
这题讨论好少...我觉得A begun 修饰歧义大大的有，根据句意到底能不能判断出begun到底修饰谁呢？
