标题: prep2-120 代词指代

120.      (30893-!-item-!-188;#058&005903)

 

Although the turtle has been toothless for more than 150 million years, in some contemporary turtle species the moderately sharp and jagged edges of their horny jaws function for teeth.

 

(A) their horny jaws function for teeth

(B) its horny jaws function for teeth

(C) its horny jaws function as do teeth

(D) the horny jaws function as teeth do

(E) the horny jaws function as teeth

key E

prep解释说A 中的their 与 the turtle不一致,可是我觉得既然是在  in some contemporary turtle species里而且用了edges 这里也可以用their啊,怎么就只一种turtle呢?

species单复数同形。its指代错误。their指代species。

但是我不知道their jaws跟the jaws的区别。只是读起来感觉是the jaws更好。

是泛指和特指的区别吧?

多谢aeoluseros和dingxiang

 in some contemporary turtle species the moderately sharp and jagged edges of their horny jaws 我觉得主语好像是 edeges吧,从句说turtle没有牙齿,但是在其他种类里这里用了species,他们的edges function as牙齿,而且这里谓语也是function.复数, 这里的their怎么能向前指代the turtle呢?

难道不是在比较中, as侧重于动作上的比较和句子比较, like侧重于物的比较。

那d为什么不对呢?

their jaws跟the jaws什么区别?

同问

哈哈...同意dingxiang的说法:泛指和特指的区别
作者: minirainbow    时间: 2008-10-23 01:40

同意用the horny jaws做泛指在这里比较合适

这边我有一个问题是 in some contemporary tu and jagged edges of the horny jaws function as teeth.

这句主词是turtle species 是单数形还是复数形?

然后这句的动词是?

 

我有点疑惑「the moderately sharp and jagged edges of the ….. 

究竟是做什么成份?

 

 

NN解惑……

rtle species the moderately sharp

minirainbow的排版太有创意了,species单复数同形,根据前面的some,species应该是复数。

the moderately sharp and jagged edges of the …..  」做主语,谓语是function.

ps:not NN, but I'm quite sure.


作者: triwater_yu    时间: 2009-1-9 22:38

还有啊——既然原文jaws用的复数,显然就不止一只乌龟啊!!!

所以我认为:its错,their对!


作者: AlienX    时间: 2009-1-10 04:25
umm...大部份有口的生物是有兩個jaws - upper jaw and lower jaw...
希望LZ不是只有一個jaw...just kidding ;-)

答案是E没问题但是a说 their与the turtle has been 不一致,也就说为了保持一致应该用单数its,但是in some contemporary species中some可以确定species是复数,那么its又与species矛盾了啊

     提点个人看法,我觉得prep的A选项的解释是错误的 -- their 没有用错,只是function for 错了。

    jaws 显然不是 although 后面“the turtle”的 jaws ,而是 some  contemporary turtle species 的jaws 。

   后半句应该理顺了说应该是 the moderately sharp and jagged edges of  _ jaws founction as teeth in some contemporary turtle species .

  主语是“the moderately sharp and jagged edges of  _ jaws ” ,谓语是 “function as”,宾语是“teeth” ,后面的“in some contemporary turtle species ”作

  状语修饰谓语 “function as”

 从这个角度看,jaws 用their 和 its 都不合适,因为其指代对象在后面,所以用 the 最合适。

我觉得its/the都一定有道理,而their明显错。但the更加好些,因为用在表示身体部位的名词前要用the;

their错是因为,

如果their指代of the turtle,指单复数不一致;应该是its

如果their指代of turtle species,“某些海龟物种的牙齿”逻辑上awkward

觉得16楼讲解的挺好,挺受启发,只是我觉得“in some contemporary turtle species ”作
 状语修饰谓语 “function as”有点不妥,我觉得“in some contemporary turtle species ”应该是介词短语修饰主语themoderately sharp and jagged edges of         horny jaws ,如果将答案A改为:
in some contemporary turtle species themoderately sharp and jagged edges of their horny jaws functionas teeth.   答案A就是正确的。

It is much easier if you understand what the sentence is saying before you make corrections.  

Statements:
1.  turtle has been toothless for millions of years
2.  certain SPECIES (of turtle) have edges that act as teeth.

This should automatically eliminate B and C. Because the subject of the second part is SPECIES.

The second part of the test is idiomatic expressions.  X functions as Y is the correct idiom.  Thus the answer should be E.

前面并没有提及jaws,为什么要用定冠词the来表示特指?
作者: enkyklios    时间: 2013-6-6 20:00
难道大家没有发现their 不能指代介词后边的名词吗?所以这里无论its还是their都不对
作者: zl9848    时间: 2014-3-5 12:17
理解语义也很重要,下面是老外的一个评论:Between D&E, D changes the meaning to say that the jaws perform the same functions as teeth do (the jaws chew), whereas E retains the original meaning that the jaws act as teeth -> so E
