标题: prep1-139 还是不懂

139 On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow, as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks.

A.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow

B.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth

C.      On Earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles

D.     Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles, believed to be the tree growth rate

E.      Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow

E这句话是什么意思啊? as seen in the rings...是个什么从句?

这题的主语是the rate,结构是Among...is believed to be,是个倒装句。

我来试试翻译一下:目前世界上对于太阳黑点循环的观点中,把握性最大的是根据对树干横截面年轮圈的观察来判断树木增长的速度。

E中的on earth 为什么一定是放在indication之后呢? on earth放在句首为什么不对啊?
作者: 许仙    时间: 2008-5-2 01:55
我觉得这个句子中重点体现的是indications is believed to be,重点是indication的内容,把on earth放到句首的话,感觉是把“目前世界上”的内容作为重点了。你觉得呢?我是根据翻译的角度去体会的,而且这里的on earth是修饰indications的,就是一个服务的修饰定语,我觉得放在句首会扩大了它的用处。

A.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow  倒装  rate不用are

B.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth   同A

C.      On Earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles  cycles与未划线部分不对应

D.     Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles, believed to be the tree growth rate     没有谓语

E.      Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow   rate is 对

E这句话是什么意思啊? as seen in the rings...是个什么从句?

on earth放在句首也可以,不过别的选项都有错误,所以e是答案。具体参考楼上。on earth的位置不是本题的语法点。

on earth好像是本题的一个考点吧
作者: hopefaith001    时间: 2008-6-8 04:44

E的结构恢复过来应该是这样子的:

the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications on earth of sunspot cycles, as.........


作者: steve66    时间: 2008-6-8 10:04

indication是‘迹象,指示’;

on earth是修饰这个indication的,应该理解为on earth的indication;

而AC,on earth就是修饰...is believed...的,好像只有on earth才被believed一样;

B,on earth是修饰...rate are among...的,好像是只有on earth这个rate才among一样;

所以ABC的on earth也是一个重要的考点;

为什么C不对呀

    这题是说明要靠近修饰, 还有修饰的作用

1.on earth
adv.
在世上, 究竟... 放在前面, 状语, 这里可能就会出现歧义....不是在地球上这个意思.

on  earth, 是修饰indication 那么它要紧跟修饰的词, 放在它的后面,

2.rate 是由: (at which trees grow ,as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks. ) 这个定语一大串修饰,

没办法, 放在前面影响句子结构, 所以, 只能倒装... 使, 定语紧接着修饰的名词.

3. 还有一种更简单直接的理解, 介词结构实际上是可以做主语的--- 那么我们不用考虑倒装, 或者直接就这么想..(

例子:
Among those who escaped was a man conviced for murder.(
朗文当代英语大辞典
                
49), )

例子:
Among those who escaped was a man conviced for murder.(
朗文当代英语大辞典
        
49), )

 1-139  这题就直接简化成  XXXXX is believed to be ,

 

    不知道说得对不对, 欢迎拍拍

有道理。

E.      Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow

可是  on earth 修饰indication, of sunspot cycles 是修饰on earth 的吗?

MM能翻译一下这句话的意思吗?

  indications (of sunspot cycles ) ,  修饰 indication....

    on earth ,修饰 indications

前面有人翻译过啦

我来试试翻译一下:(目前世界上) (对于太阳黑点循环) 的观点中,把握性最大的是根据对树干横截面年轮圈的观察来判断树木增长的速度

可是我怎么知道on earth 到底是应该作为整句话的状语还是修饰indication呢?原句也看不出来MS……还有那个C 是只有on earth这一个问题吗?赐教!
作者: azhar    时间: 2008-8-18 08:03
怎么这么多人马后炮呢?原句并没有表现出ON EARTH是修饰哪个的意图。而且放在前面和indication后面的区别到现在也没人能够说清楚,感觉都是拼命往答案上面凑。

139 On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow, as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks.

A.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are believed to be the rate that trees grow

B.      On Earth, among the surest indications of sunspot cycles are, it is believed, the rate of tree growth

C.      On Earth, the rate at which trees grow is believed to be among the surest indications of sunspot cycles

D.     Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles, believed to be the tree growth rate

E.      Among the surest indications on Earth of sunspot cycles is believed to be the rate at which trees grow

这道题目on earth具体修饰谁很难一下子判断出来。

但首先要知道是倒装,这样就能排除AB,主谓一致决定要用is而不是are

as seen in the rings visible in the cross sections of their trunks. 是跟 the rate that trees grow比较的,所以要贴近。但具体用法希望nn来解答。

对。其实"On earth"的意思没那么复杂,就是"在世界上的"意思。考点不在这里。

赞同这种说法!是后面那一部分意思应该是看到年轮判断树的生长,而不是判断比率吧。我觉得正确的理解应该是:seen修饰的是trees grow,trees grow修饰rate

小弟發表一下個人意見~

原題目後面的"their trunks"
their邏輯上指前面的trees,但形式上就近指代指了sunspot cycles
因此犯了指代錯誤

若看不懂on earth怎麼修飾或是後面的as seen...
還是可以靠這點來排除C
有錯請指正!
