Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal with all other pollutants.
A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal
B. an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's capability of dealing
C. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing
D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal
E. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's ability to deal
OA: A.
个人觉得从especially and specially, 还有不改变原文意思的原则，选A.
但是不知道是否可以通过ability and capability来解题。主要是A和D的选项。
查字典，觉得好像ability and capability都一样。请牛人指教。 作者: sweeet 时间: 2009-12-21 06:05
D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal 有歧义，to deal 可能是二氧化硫通过损害呼吸系统来对付其他污染物，应该是二氧化硫损害呼吸系统对付其他污染物的能力。
A the respiratory system's ability显然是to deal的主语了。作者: running2k 时间: 2009-12-21 16:09
不太明白LS的解释。你是说 the capability 可能会修饰 “the respiratory system to deal ”？？作者: mycontrol01 时间: 2009-12-21 23:27
我来解释 你的LS意思是说 diminish XXX to deal DEAL这里做DIMINISH的目的状语
Here is my question. respiratory system 属于生物吗？作者: pterosaur 时间: 2010-4-29 17:02
capability in sth./to do sth./of doing sth. 不存在capability in doing sth？作者: wangxiwei 时间: 2010-8-15 11:44
非生物加's 错误 不是一个很重要快捷的筛选答案的标准么? 当然如果细细研究 可以根据 diminish the capability of xxx to do sth 中 to do 是修饰 diminish 还是capability 的歧义得出 以及 固定搭配 abblility to do sth 得出正确答案 我想问的是 在考试中 非生物加's 错误 我们怎么对待这个优先级的问题 是最先考虑 还是最后考虑 (当然如果你的回答是题目做多了 靠感觉 那我也无语了)作者: wangxiwei 时间: 2010-8-15 11:46
对了 我还想问大家 如果答案在下面两个选 选谁阿? A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal
C an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system dealing作者: wangxiwei 时间: 2010-9-12 19:14
