标题: prep1-148 改变原意了吗

148. (32773-!-item-!-188;#058&006296)

In contrast to some fish eggs requiring months to incubate, the Rio Grande silvery minnow produces eggs that hatch in about 24 hours, yielding larvae that can swim in just three to four days.

(A) some fish eggs requiring months to incubate

(B) some fish, whose eggs require months to incubate

(D) the requirement of months of incubation for some fish eggs

(E) requiring months of incubation, as some fish eggs do

prep的解释说E as some fish eggs do改变原意，怎么看出来是改变原意了？

as some fish eggs do里的do不能向前指代，因为没有谓语动词，只能向后指代produce，变成some fish eggs(暂时不考虑不对称问题)和minnow是相似的，一样地in contrast to "requiring months of incubation"

所以句意也改变了

变成some fish eggs(暂时不考虑不对称问题)和minnow是相似的，一样地in contrast to "requiring months of incubation"

这里没太明白aeoluseros，是不是说some fish eggs像minnow一样produce,怎么能跟requiring months of incubation联系起来呢？

你再给我说说吧，多谢拉

我觉得唯一考点就是 IN CONTRAST TO A，B，对应，相对于B，C更好一点！其实考SC真的不需要想太多，我以前也走过一段弯路。找准考点就好了

as some fish eggs do里的do不能向前指代，因为没有谓语动词，只能向后指代produce,所以as some fish eggs do是与minnow produce并列的，也即用“as + 句子”来表达了它们两个动作的相似性：some fish eggs像minnow一样produce,与requiring months of incubation这个情况相反（in contrast to）。

而原文要表达的意思是说，minnow和some fish eggs相反（in contrast to），some fish eggs是requiring months of incubation的，而minnow不用那么久，没几天就搞定的。

弱弱地问一句为什么C选项不对呢

解释为“与那些要求卵需要一个月时间孵化的鱼相比···” 好像说得通啊~~

望达人赐教~~

up,同问，C为什么不对？

作者: gogokaka 时间: 2009-9-13 17:11

感觉上C中定语从句的重心改变了，强调的是fish，而原句中强调的是eggs。
不知道对不对，请指教~

作者: NgKKh 时间: 2009-9-27 10:01
明显不对。

继续期待更好的回答。C为什么不对。

再问C

我找到了这个题目的出处：

In contrast to some fish eggs that take months to incubate, Rio
Grande silvery minnow (Hybognathus amarus) eggs hatch in about 24 hours
into larvae that can swim in just 3 to 4 days. It is no surprise that a
species so programmed for survival once dominated a biological niche
that spanned 3,000 meandering miles (4,825 kilometers) from Colorado to
Texas.

GMAC改了下变成了这个题目
whatever
就这道题看，主要考察In contrast to a，b...
比较对象要对等

最后就比较B和C，我个人觉得C很啰嗦不简洁没有B好

除了啰嗦简洁这样的官话，能不能给点实际的啊

C 把重心改变了，变成主要说鱼有蛋了

作者: xiaoqiaoli 时间: 2011-6-2 20:46
C的意思是，有蛋的鱼，这个蛋可能是鱼的也可能不是鱼的。这样就会不符合原文的意思。并前that have eggs感觉有点像是强调“有蛋”这个动作，而且是一次性的。所以当然不对啦。

B中间，fish whose eggs，显然只有一种意思就是鱼的蛋，不会产生歧义，也符合原文意思。

subtle.

if you're a native speaker of english, and especially if you read a lot, you may be able to pick up on the general vibe of "awkwardness" in choice (c). it's just not as well written as choice (b), although i understand that this principle is intangible and therefore frustrating.

here are two non-"awkwardness"-based, mechanical reasons to choose (b) over (c):
1) the second half of the parallel structure says "eggs ... hatch", wherein "hatch" is in the present tense. in choice (b), "require" is also in the present tense, creating parallelism, whereas in choice (c), "requiring" is a participle (not parallel to "hatch").
2) the word "have" in choice (c) creates a slight but noticeable change of meaning (remember that you have to read VERY literally). specifically, it shifts the focus to those fish that have the eggs, i.e., are in literal possession of the eggs. that's not the point of the sentence; the point is just that some fish produce eggs that require months to incubate, whether they "have" those eggs or not.

but, again, this problem is very, very subtle. my advice above all would be to notice the kind of writing that appears in correct answers, vs. the kind of writing that appears in incorrect answers - and adjust your thought processes accordingly.
