标题: GWDTN3 第一题求解释

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

A. and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,

B. and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that

C. her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that

D. lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,

E. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

答案是E。为什么不用加AND?难道这两个SO结构不是平行结构么？

我觉得是并列。。同问~~~

作者: serendipityh 时间: 2009-10-19 23:14

E. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

so ...that 句型

第二个was 省略了

Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry were So dogged, her lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent, that Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt

不好意思, 改过的句子可能有点不顺, 但我就想把它正过来, 这样理解方便.

上面的句子为什么要省略was 是倒装吗？

作者: serendipityh 时间: 2009-10-19 23:33
因为前面有were暗示了!
是倒装

我曾经看到过两个形容词同时形容一个名词的时候可以不加AND。这里是不是同样理解？

作者: selianchou 时间: 2009-11-6 08:55
还是没有看懂~~~，为什么C不对呀？

NY TIMES 原文："So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, and so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov. Al Smith, and later by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to work within New York State government, rather than against it. "

解释引自某一网站ＵＲＣＨ
There is no such thing as the “best amongst the worst” in GMAT Sentence Correction. There is always a choice that is clear and correct. It may not be the only way to write the sentence, it may not be the way you would write the sentence, but the correct answer will be grammatical and unambiguous.

There is nothing ungrammatical, ambiguous, or awkward about the following sentence:

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

The part of the sentence between the first two commas (“so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform”) is an absolute phrase, an elaboration on the words “so dogged Frances Perkins’ investigation of the garment industry”, placed in apposition.

Here is the same information expressed first more straightforwardly, then step by step transformed into choice E:

Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry were so dogged, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform were so persistent, that Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt...

Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry were so dogged, her lobbying for wage and hour reform so persistent, that Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt...

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt...

那么这句话表明so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform是前一句的同位语？？？

可是我觉得那个were是因为investigations 的
因为前面有were暗示了!

不懂啊

作者: tjguogang 时间: 2012-8-26 07:16

我也觉的不像句子，倒装两个so同时和that 连用，中间连个东西都没有。什么啊。感觉语法突然崩溃了。

作者: sysyman 时间: 2012-12-23 22:48
我明白了省略了was，但是不明白两个句子连接在一起为什么不用and。。。。。

我今天也是越到这个题，不知道为什么可以省略and
我觉得不是独立主格，因为这里明显是平行关系，两者共同导致了后面的事情。
用独立主格会有一点点不知道用意何在。

rong对这道题的这个问题是这么讲的
“wow! i would expect an "and" there, too. this is ... interesting.
i guess we should just remember this, as one of those one-off idiomatic constructions. there are other constructions (such as "the more X happens, the more Y happens") that don't seem to conform to normal grammar rules, either.”

另外，我觉得beatthegmat讨论这道题的时候有一个人说得也很好
“I realize that gmat do not test difficult grammar points but play logics on basic grammar. Calm down to realize logic”
相较而言，c确实是不logic的

说的有道理，姑且把它当成同时省略了and和was吧。
反正我觉得肯定不是独立主格，根本不是附属关系，很明显的平行关系。

From Ron@MHT:

If it's a correct answer, it's a correct answer.

This is a really, really old problem (over 10 years old, if it's in "set 27"). The current GMAT won't test such oddly constructed sentences, so it's best to forget about this one altogether.
-----------------
That's not really the issue. (Yes, I understand that you're joking.)

This sentence is as legitimate today as it was 10, 50, or 100 years ago.
The problem is that it's an unusual sentence construction, one that violates the dominant patterns of usage. Essentially, it's one giant "idiom" with which you'd have to be familiar in advance -- it's not the kind of thing you can figure out as you go. As such, it unfairly favors native English speakers, who have had much more exposure to "weird but correct" English sentences than have non-native speakers. Basically, it's almost like taking English from Shakespeare, or Spanish from Cervantes, or Italian from Dante, and throwing them at modern-day second-language speakers of those languages. Not fair.

In recent years GMAC has been cracking down on just about all SC items that unfairly favor native speakers -- especially weird sentence constructions like this one. So, it's not any less correct than it previously was, but you don't have to worry about it on the test anymore.

在最新版的GMAT Prep里面有这道题目……面对GMAT语法，困惑就在这里，就连规则本身都在改变，让考生何去何从？！
