标题: OG补充练习67（关于指代） [打印本页] 作者: dontwannalose 时间: 2009-12-6 05:26 标题: OG补充练习67（关于指代） Faced with an estimated $2 billion budget gap, the city's mayor proposed a nearly 17 percent reduction in the amount allocated the previous year to maintain the city's major cultural institutions and to subsidize hundreds of local arts groups. (A) proposed a nearly 17 percent reduction in the amount allocated the previous year to maintain the city's major cultural institutions and to subsidize (B) proposed a reduction from the previous year of nearly 17 percent in the amount it was allocating to maintain the city's major cultural institutions and for subsidizing (C) proposed to reduce, by nearly 17 percent, the amount from the previous year that was allocated for the maintenance of the city's major cultural institutions and to subsidize (D) has proposed a reduction from the previous year of nearly 17 percent of the amount it was allocating for maintaining the city's major cultural institutions, and to subsidize (E) was proposing that the amount they were allocating be reduced by nearly 17 percent from the previous year for maintaining the city's major cultural institutions and for the subsidization
正确答案是A没有问题，B我能看出来的得两个错误分别是平行和修饰不如A好。
但是我不觉得B的指代有问题（OG的解释为：To maintain and for subsidizing are not parallel, and the sentence is imprecise and it does not have a clear antecedent)
it 很明显不可能指代gap，而mayor是人也不可能用it指代，那么它唯一的指代对象就是amount,不是吗？ 作者: dontwannalose 时间: 2009-12-7 16:34

从句怎么都该用that引导吧作者: dontwannalose 时间: 2009-12-7 19:04
当定语从句所修饰的部分为宾语时，连接词是可以省略的作者: sunyan730 时间: 2009-12-7 23:37 it does not have a clear antecedent。不是没有指代，是指代不清啊。作者: dontwannalose 时间: 2009-12-10 03:05
我不觉得指代不清 e.g. While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose equity - in many cases representing a life's savings - can plunge or even disappear. they前面有两个复数名词，但这句话是正确的，因为they不可能会指代large inverters 同样，在这句中，it唯一合理的修饰就是amount，不是吗？作者: EvaCheng 时间: 2009-12-10 03:22
it 也可以指代a reduction, a reduction was allocating to .... 这样的话就很奇怪作者: dontwannalose 时间: 2009-12-10 03:29
我知道语法上it可以指代a reduction，但是说不过去 e.g.Japanese researchers are producing a series of robots that can identify human facial expressions, to which they will then respond; their goal is primarily creating a robot that will empathize with us. 这里的they修饰robots和researchers都说得过去，在说得过去的前提下有歧义，所以错

i know what u mean. Then is it possible that "it" can represent "the amount" or "17 percent of the amount" ?作者: dontwannalose 时间: 2009-12-10 03:46
