104. The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely.
(A) and meat rarely
(B) and meat was rare
(C) with meat as rare
(D) meat a rarity
(E) with meat as a rarity
The best answer here must qualify the statement made in the main clause. The diet... was largely vegetarian: it cannot be treated as part of the list of vegetarian foods. In other words, the best answer must logically and grammatically attach to the main clause when the list is omitted (首先从结构上判断). Choice A fails this test: The diet. . . was largely vegetarian, and meat rarely. D fails also, because it lacks a function word such as with to link it to the main clause. The wording of choice B is imprecise and ambiguous--for example, it could mean that meat was scarce, or that it was not well done or medium. Choice C is unidiomatic. Clearly phrased, grammatically linked, and idiomatically sound, choice E is best. (紧密型独立主格结构)
这里的解释有点不明白:The best answer here must qualify the statement made in the main clause. The diet... was largely vegetarian: it cannot be treated as part of the list of vegetarian foods. In other words, the best answer must logically and grammatically attach to the main clause when the list is omitted (首先从结构上判断). 我想了半天也没看懂,是不是关于句子结构该如何处理的?fficeffice" />
我认为snazzy和tianwan的看法比较正确,这里with结构引导的是独立主格with+n+prep,E中的as作为介词,解释为:作为;rarity -名词,解释为:稀有之物
个人认为E中的as可以省略,形成snazzy所谓的with+n+n的独立主格结构,但是保留对句意的清楚表达更好;同时需要指出,as作为介词,所以后面不能跟形容词,所以C表达错,而且C中的rare意思复杂,容易引起歧义;
第一次听说这个名词。能不能请你给个定义?是不是说紧密连接型独立主格的内容必须和主句内容联系紧密且必须由with开头?那么n.+n.型的独立主格呢?
我觉得这道题D和E都是独立主格结构,但是因为中间有长长的一串插入语,把主句与独立主格远远地分开了,所以加上with是为了明确meat as a rarity在句中的作用——独立主格,以避免读者将其理解为插入语的并列成分。如果把插入语删去的话,D 和E都应该是对的。
请NN斧正!
这里的独立主格是对主句的修饰和补充,而不是对vegetarian的说明。
所以,用独立主格的话,就必须用WITH+。。 否则就容易产生修饰对象的混淆。

还请lxy128继续探讨。
我一直以为独立主格的作用就是作主句的状语,目的是补充说明主句,其修饰对象就是前面的整个主句。你说到“产生修饰对象的混淆”是什么意思呢?能不能把这句话你认为会混淆的修饰对象明确一下?
看到新东方对独立主格的一点说法:
一般说来,在句子中没有连接词的情况下,逗号是无力连接两个句子的,其中一个分句要么是非谓语形式,要么是独立主格结构。这两种结构都作状语,不同的是独立主格结构有自己的逻辑主语。
十分抱歉,GMAT700+,这么晚给你回复。(我没注意看信箱)
你对独立主格的理解是正确的。
我当时写“产生修饰对象的混淆”的意思是,当有WITH的时候,可以清晰的让读者明确这是个独立主格,是作为主句的壮语;如果没有WITH,而且句子结构中内容的间隔,就使读者不易分辨出是独立主格还是其他的成分(例如对宾语的补充解释或同位语)。 而且GMAT也要求尽量的保证句子的清晰。
我想问一下为什么A不对呢。
The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes, and meat rarely.
如果我把and meat rarely 看成是与largely vegetarian 并列不可以吗。

D - The diet was largely vegetarian, meat a rarity. - 对于D的解释,OG写道"because it lacks a function word such as with to link it to the main clause" 可以看出 ETS似乎并不认可n.+n. 这样的独立主格形式
E - The diet was largely vegetarian, with meat as a rarity. with复合结构(with+n.+介词短语)独立主格(前辈们说这是表紧密关系),作伴随状语修饰前面的句子。
这里,独立主格是需要用逗号隔开的,若去掉逗号,with复合结构歧义作定语修饰vegetarian
谢谢各位前辈的讨论!

vegetarian 是adj而meat是n
怎么能并列呢
vegetarian 是adj而meat是n
怎么能并列呢
看了这么多讨论,怎么没人说破折号啊,希望大家指正
如果The diet of the ordinary Greek in classical times was largely vegetarian--vegetables, fresh cheese, oatmeal, and meal cakes-- and meat
这肯定说明meat和vegetarian并列,因为一般插入语在句子中间前后都会有破折号。可是这一句的插入语后面并有破折号,并且只是个逗号,说明主句已经结束了,后面只能接独立主格或者分词作状语这种游离主句之外的结构
