标题: prep1-13意思不懂

13.        (25163-!-item-!-188;#058&001734)

 

Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they find a new job before they are terminated.

 

(A) the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package

(B) the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company's severance package

(C) their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers

(D) their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

答案是D请教这句话的意思

serverance packages 是离休补偿金的意思~!

这样的话,LZ就能明白了吧?


作者: nemo11    时间: 2008-8-1 22:26

整句话的意思还是不大明白


作者: rhine521    时间: 2008-8-1 22:39

不像大多数的离休补偿金那样,要求一直积攒到预定日期的最后才能使用,汽车公司的离休补偿金随时可用

 

直译 MM凑合看吧

偶记得当初上课丽丽讲语法时不是很关注句子意思的~~~~~看上面四个选项就D的比较对象是一致的,那就选D嘛~~~管他什麽意思呢
作者: xueyu815    时间: 2008-8-2 18:17

其实这题的干扰项是E,楼主没打出来,但是E的the last day that they are scheduled to collect中的that做先行词不妥啊,所以选D


作者: nemo11    时间: 2008-8-2 21:41
明白了,多谢各位拉
作者: mac_bobo    时间: 2008-8-15 14:24

嗯,意思明白了。但是,还是不大清楚为什么E 不对

(E) the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers

请大家帮忙解释一下!谢谢!

逻辑意思不对

E的the last day that they are scheduled to collect ,they are scheduled to collect 是修饰last day , 翻成中文就是“他们照计划领取。。。的最后一天”, 明白了吧?

所以逻辑错误,领退休金无所谓最后一天不最后一天的。

辞职的时候会说 的通常是last working day, 或者 last scheduled working day

last 修饰 working  day 才通


作者: nemo11    时间: 2008-8-16 00:30

我的理解比较非主流

我觉得E last day 怎么能做collect的宾语呢,显然逻辑不通。


作者: mac_bobo    时间: 2008-8-16 02:46

That's right! Thanks!

转帖(体会了很多遍才体会出了一点意思)--share

D says that some severance packages require workers to stay at the company until the last scheduled day they're supposed to work (say, next Friday) or they don't get their severance (which may get paid that day or at some point in the future - we don't know).

E says that some severance packages require workers to stay until the day that they are scheduled to get their money - in other words, they stay until, say, next Friday which is the day that they are actually paid.

Either could be the way things work (though D is probably more realistic, but we don't pay attention to that on SC). So we check the meaning of the original sentence. The original says that these packages "require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect..." Could be confusing, because that's grammatically incorrect in general, which muddles the meaning, but concentrate on "require workers to stay until the last day scheduled" - that goes along with option D. The "to collect" here is missing "in order" which makes it a little harder to see what's going on.

But notice in E how it separates out the later clause - "the last day THAT they are scheduled to collect" - making this into a separate statement, so now "scheduled" is paired with "to collect" instead of "last day scheduled" or (as in correct answer D) "last scheduled day."

unlike的比较对象需平行,本题是不同企业的severance packages(遣散费)之间的比较,A,B和C比较对象不平行。

从前后两种情况对比取得获得遣散费资格的前提条件的逻辑来看,既然后一种(非划线部分)是“可在与本公司结束合同契约前先找到其它工作”,则前一种情况应该是指“按照合同约定为本公司工作到最后一天”,D符合此意,in order to在这里反而比to更强调作为状语修饰主语,避免了它就近成为宾语定语的可能。

而E表达的是the last day that they are scheduled to collect SEVERANCE PACKAGE,是收钱的时间,不是working day,不能形成逻辑上的对比,错。另外,E中的that从句中collect省略宾语可能是severance packages也可以是days(前一种可能中collect的意思是“收款”,后一种是“集合”),造成歧异。

schedule作动词常用被动。

其实对于e项我还是不能排除……
作者: rosemary628    时间: 2009-5-27 19:03

E中的that是感觉不太对,但是具体是为什么有nn解释下吗?感谢了!!

求解
作者: dullness    时间: 2009-8-7 15:20
L13,L14 NN的解释很到位。
[A]the last day scheduled --> [D]their last scheduled day 这种变化很常见。


作者: 天蝎座1107    时间: 2009-8-11 12:43
L13和L14解释的太赞了~
作者: ivyfeng    时间: 2009-9-25 17:49
13和14楼解释的很不错。

这道题细看,collect是不及物(D选项中看出),E中的that带的不是定从是同位语从句

其余的13和14楼解释的很清楚:D的意思是要那些worker留到工作schedule的最后一天这样才能collect
                           E的意思是要那些worker留到最后一天,在那一天他们被安排collect,意思不对,而且现在翻成中文看不出了,英文的时候那个the last day是什么last day很不清楚(D中是工人们被schedule工作的last day)

谢谢谢,解释的很清楚

我有个问题:like/unlike结构应该是要求完全对称的,包括概念对等, 数量对等(单对单,多对多) 。这是prep中原话。

为何此题中packages对后面的package啊。

可能我问的问题太死板了。但是不问憋着又难受……

没有黄色字体要求这么严格。

今日做PREP模考正好做到这题,第二次又错了,看了上述很多大牛的解释,我在提供一点自己的看法。
全句的逻辑是在对比,两种不同的公司中,员工为了得到遣散费需要怎么做。
后半句说员工即使在离开前找到了新工作,也能得到遣散费,得到遣散费这是个目的。
D选项说的是为了得到遣散费,员工需要工作到被安排的最后一天,这个得到遣散费也是目的。
E选项却把得到遣散费变成了修饰day的成分,这就不符合逻辑了,整句话讲的是员工为了得到遣散费所需要做的不同之处,所以得到遣散费需要体现出目的的意味。
