100. Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have begun to enforce statewide bans (prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings). (A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings (B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings (C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings (D) that leaves, brush, and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills (E) that landfills cannot accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
EXPLAINATION
Choice C is the best answer. Either of the following constructions would be idiomatic here: x forbids y to do z or x prohibits y from doing z. Choices A and B violate idiom; \ D and E introduce constructions that, in context, are faulty. First of all, both bans that x cannot be done and bans that y cannot do x are unidiomatic formulations. Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is illogical.
"both 'bans that x cannot be done' and 'bans that y cannot do x' are unidiomatic formulations"
不理解这为什么是错误的格式？如果说：
This is a woman that I cannot be loved. 这是一个不会爱上我的女人。-bans that x cannot be done
This is a book that I cannot borrow from Tom. 这本书TOM不会借给我。-bans that y cannot do x
that做conj. 不对吗？

1.THAT 不是CONJ. 2.This is a woman that I cannot be loved, 这句子是错的, 因为WOMAN没在THAT 从句中做任何成分, 这在定语从句中是不可能的. 3.D,E 中由于THAT 后的成分是完整的, THAT从句只能看成同位语, 但语意上不合逻辑, 禁止...不被接受, 那就是要接受LEAVES ETC.作者: 归零 时间: 2003-5-22 13:35
