那位nn帮看一下这道题啊,OG12上的SC,其实也是GWD的,答案我没问题,选E。但有个问题,OG对于C,D的解释说其中的them指代的是tourists,但为什么E选项中的them就没有指代问题呢?本题可以通过其它途径排除掉C,D选项,但E中离them最近的复数名词也是tourists,为什么这样就没有歧义呢?多谢
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at
A. due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing
B. due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize
C. because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize
D. because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize
E. because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing
刚好看到这题,我语法知识差,说错了别见怪
我觉得C比较好理解,因为用了initiative的形式tourists were exhaling moisture,这样tourists变成了subject,them因此指代了tourists.
后面的比较难判断,因为D的形式跟E一样,没有充分的语法知识来支持我的想法,我只能通过比对选项的差异了,我想应该是because of 和because的区别。E和C一样都用了because,只是把主动改为被动,them就没有了指代问题,那么问题应该出在前面。
我看这题的时候就忽略过去了,现在看看,真是应该好好思考。
也是受人教导,个人浅见如下:
代词的指代顺序一般是主语核心语,宾语,表语,修饰语中的名词。
C中,tourists 是主语,为them的第一级指代,易歧义;
D中,tourists 是that从句中的宾语(如果我没记错的话,被动语态by后面的为宾语),第二级指代,也容易歧义;
E中,tourists 是修饰语中的名称,为最低级指代,不易歧义;
其实我觉得这个理由也不是特别的充分,open to discuss。
我当时理解D中them错的原因是,because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them 中 raising紧跟tourists出现是会被误认为有可能作为tourists的修饰语出现的,如果是被理解为tourists的修饰语,那them就只能作为tourists出现。而E中 是because引导的原因状语从句,而后面的had raised是很清楚的作为moisture的谓语动词出现的。所以后面的them不会被认为是tourists.
不知道这么理解对不对。。。
感谢楼上三位的讲解。代词指代上有一个重要原则就是就近修饰,不管多远,只要比逻辑上需要指代的名词近,就有指代不清的嫌疑。难道GMAC语法规则中认定:修饰名词的名词可以不受这个限制?欢迎大家积极讨论,如果有人找到别的例句跟这个类似,哪怕不是选项中出现,而是在题干中出现的也请贴在这里,我们大家参考一下。多谢了先
另外多说一句,语法这东西很有意思,我是作了三遍OG12才想起来把错误选项的解释细细看一遍的,这一看不要紧,本来十道题只有十个正确语法点,现在变成了十个正确的外加四十多个错误的语法点,汗!这道题我每次都作对,就从没仔细看过C和D中them的解释。
多做题不如多总结啊!
再把所有牵涉到指代的语法点一起看看,说不定能找到点规律。
顶一下顶一下~我开始看OG上的解释,觉得好像代词都不能代替介词短语的宾语,后来也是看到这道题的E觉得我的世界被颠覆了。。。
