这个偶也不明白,哪位nn解答一下拉
作者: JerryGuan    时间: 2004-4-24 14:37

summer614请将题目和序号贴全

第一个:我也不太明白。without .sth1 nor sth2...?   为什么不用the,如何才能看出要不要用the?

第二个:倒数第二个选项(while the rate of mainsteam American businesses failing is more than half)的意思不是原意,“那些失败的企业的rate超过一半”,句中的failing是用来修mainsteam American businesses ,而mainsteam American businesses用来限定rate。而原意是failure来限定rate 的。所以……

题外话

我发现,名词的顺序调动,使得中心词的变化,往往是一个难点,是我们这些老外容易迷惑的地方。

我有个大胆的设想:句子中的每个名词都会有修饰限定解释成份的(未经证实,只是设想);多个名词之间的限制解释,加上名词被其他成份的限制解释,通常会在位置变化上造成迷惑。

161. A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction of the caribou into northern Minnesota would tail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more numerous than one wolf for every 39 square miles.

(A)  would fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more numerous than

(B)  would fail provided the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more than

(C)  should fail if the timber wolf density in that region was greater than

(D)  will fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is greater than

(E)   will fail if the timber wolf density in that region were more numerous than

第一题答案是B?with none of the restrictions of passenger trains, railroad timetables ,nor?
作者: JerryGuan    时间: 2004-4-24 21:11

第一题,我把答案看错了,,看成了C了,不过,还是不明白。


作者: jnlvo    时间: 2004-4-24 21:55
我也是无论如何想不通,why B?B和其它比最大的区别是nor前有逗号。我倒是觉得这逗号不该要。

答案B没有问题:A,C,D,E的logic意思错了,A,C第二个with反了意思,C的nor也反了意思,E的or只是二者取一,也错了。

个人观点,请指正。

楼主能给XDJM们多提供一些新题目吗?大家一起练习讨论,谢谢。


作者: mariezhu    时间: 2004-4-24 22:46
tianwan GG你是不是看错了,楼主题目下面只给了4个选项,所以你说得C(你说带with)实际上已经是D了(因为只有A和D带with

B


A,D的with构成了与前面否定部分的并列,变成肯定了. B的nor前应该有逗号",".


E: without 张三 or 李四应该是正确的. 否定是用OR来连接的. 但这个并列改变了题意. 题意是说:没有限制中的任何一个,也没有...with none of the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables, nor formalities, expenses and impersonality of hotels


如果简单的用without, or并列起来, 就变成:没有限制和拘束. 这样就平淡无味了.


B的 with none of...,nor让大家看起来很不习惯.

A没有重写。偶错了,应该是A,D第二个with反了意思


summer614的看法有见地

in the early part of the twentieth century, many vacationers found that driving automobiles and sleeping in tents allowed them to enjoy nature close at hand and tour at their own pace, with none of the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the formalities, expenses and impersonality of hotels 逻辑意思应该是:驾车,住帐篷好啊,没有火车限制,也没有宾馆的这些问题(formalities, expenses and impersonality)

A.with none of the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the 宾馆的这些问题。




B. with none of the restrictions of passenger trains, railroad timetables ,nor (虽然看着不爽,但应该是对的)



C. without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables nor (nor和without 双重否定,又变成了宾馆的这些问题)



D. without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the 宾馆的这些问题。



E. without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or the 逻辑意思应该是2个问题都没有,E变成了要么没有火车限制,要么没有宾馆的这些问题,而不是2者同时没有。



A,C,D,E都是必错。只有B语义上没有问题,语法上偶虽没有找到例句,但觉得不应该错。

我认为C中的nor应该是和without 平行的

就是说《without X》 《nor Y》 而不是without《X nor Y》


作者: tianwan    时间: 2004-4-25 10:51

mariezhu mm: 越来越觉得你敏锐和仔细,总能看出问题。

不过偶又有不同看法:《without X》 《nor Y》,那么《nor Y》和《without X》在句中的作用也一样,去掉《without X》后,《nor Y》不知道在句中做什么。所以不可能《without X》 《nor Y》,所以是without《X nor Y》。

请指正。

问:without《X nor Y》 后面的nor应该是继续了前面的without中的否定意思,相当于neither ... nor... 这样的话,就不是,tianwan 所说的,“没有X,但有Y”;应该是“没有X,或者也没有Y”。 我想如果要表达tianwan所说的“没有X,但有Y”可不可以写成:with no X but Y


作者: tianwan    时间: 2004-4-25 11:13
without是介词,和nor在一起好像不能“相当于neither ... nor... ”
作者: liu_9000    时间: 2004-4-25 11:28

tianwan:

E我还是有疑问:

E. without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or the 逻辑意思应该是2个问题都没有,E变成了要么没有火车限制,要么没有宾馆的这些问题,而不是2者同时没有。

如果翻译成要么没有,要么没有,那就是说结构为: without A or without B. 然后第二个without被省略掉了. 而without A or B 是说没有A或者B.(意味着两个都没有)....

我自己也晕了...

应该找本逻辑书看看?

我觉得Nor是跟withoug并列. 这里的并列不是说Nor部分可以单独成句.例如:


The article is too long, nor is the style easy.


这里明显nor应该的部分跟前面并列, 但去掉前面的句子,nor部分不成立.


请指正.


作者: JerryGuan    时间: 2004-4-25 11:49

这题是在考三个短语如何在with后面否定并列,我最后还是同意是B,因为她长得最好看!


但是:我翻遍了三个大全,都没有找到with none这种表达形式。:(


但C错的理由,和tianwan不一样,我觉得,without .. nor...就是错误表达形式,不需要解释。

以下是引用pumpkin在2004-4-25 15:08:00的发言:

B. with none of the restrictions of passenger trains, railroad timetables ,nor
railroad前面少个and, 并列的大错


这个地方个人认为完全正确,这里确实是并列错误;with none of the restriction of a and b nor(nor前面也不能有逗号)




C. without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables nor
这个是nor 意思反了


看看marizhu的例句,可能是这样的:

without n nor n.; neither..nor更广泛,可以加任何的并列成分,不一定是名词或名词短语。

C这里without the restriction of... nor...可以接受,但是nor后面的东东是不是被restriction这里没有表达,所以意思不对;

请PumpkinMM指正,如果C改为without the restriction of.. nor the constraint of...对吗???

另外or的连接,我认为还是without的否定意思决定这里可以用or

个人意见,欢迎指正

哈,MM以为JJ会这么小气么?(也许是充大,不好意思)大家来这儿的目的就是讨论嘛

作者: tianwan    时间: 2004-4-25 20:42

pumpkin:现在俺觉得你是对的。偶已经查了withwithoutnor就是想当然没查or。其实,就是这个or

Or:郎文:▶AND NOT◀used after a negative verb when you mean not one thing and also not another thing

He doesn't have a television or a video. Sonia never cleans or even offers to wash the dishes.

Kingsoft:[在否定结构中否定前后二者] 也不...也不

He cannot read or write.他既不会读也不会写。

Kingsoft:也不

He never smokes or drinks. 他从不吸烟,也不喝酒。

mariezhu mm的例句,既然存在,肯定有道理,但偶找不到语法依据,是不是可以认为这种用法ETS不喜欢?

请指教。
作者: JerryGuan    时间: 2004-4-25 20:43

钦佩zhu 和 kin 两位MM的考证精神。

Argument:

对于pumpkin: 你的例子不足以支持你的结论。

56. Architects and stonemasons, the Maya built huge palace and temple clusters without the benefit of animal transport or the wheel

In B, the active verb has shifted suggests that the light, not the motion, is the agency of action, but such a construction leaves the phrase by the rapid motion of the galaxy away from the Earth without any logical or grammatical function.

128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of pro­ducing high yields without the costly irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties


OG-249. B, the best choice, is idiomatic, clear, and without agreement errors or redundancy

从以上的黑体字中可以看出,or 连接的是两个小元素,组成一个大元素,接在without后面。所以,如果作者能给出更多的例子来,将会better你的论证过程。

对于ZHU:1)zhu 的例子能否应用于GMAT考试中,错误类比;2) zhu的例子中是两个元素并列,而此题是三个元素。

存疑~~~


作者: JerryGuan    时间: 2004-4-25 20:54

等等~~~

再细看了:OG-249. B, the best choice, is idiomatic, clear, and without agreement errors or redundancy

发现,pumpkin的结论应该是正确的。without A or B!

佩服佩服!


作者: dreadpower    时间: 2004-4-25 21:27

   我还是觉得是B,我觉得E的意思和B的意思有些改变,with none of the restrictions of passenger trains, railroad timetables without the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables意思是不同的,前一个说是(很多)限制中的一个都没有,后面一个是说没有限制,意思上有些改变,但是with none of ..., nor没见过,mariezhu JJ能考证到这个用法,我觉得应该就可以这样用。毕竟E在意思上有原来有出入

    大家讨论。。。

     mariezhu 和pumpkin的考证精神让我想起了当时SBBI,braveMBA,GEMJ等大牛在一起讨论的景象。

     呵呵,二位也都是NN,提出问题和分析都很有见地,佩服!!


作者: liu_9000    时间: 2004-4-26 07:19

没有定论吗?

刚查到一个用法来源:美国传统词典)

传统规则要求 nor用于 neither后面,在这种表达中,否定放在第二个部分: 他既不能也(不用 or) 不愿走。Nor在当两个独立句子中的第二个也被否时被用,在这种用法中,它也引起第二个句子主语和助动词的转变:
He cannot find anyone now, nor does he expect to find anyone in the future;

然而当第一个否定词用 not或 never表达,且当第二个连结部分是动词短语时, nor的用法通常可选择:
He will not permit the change, or (or  nor)  even consider it

当一个名词短语以形式 no this or that被 no,or引入时比 nor更常用:
He has no experience or interest (less frequently  nor interest)  in chemistry. 对于化学他既没经验也没兴趣(很少用 nor interest) 。

Or在下面这种情况下比 nor常用,如一个名词短语、形容词短语或副词短语被 not引导时:
He is not a philosopher or a statesman.
他既不是哲学家也不是政治家

We were not rich or happy.
我们既不富有也不快乐

如此说来, C的用法: without...nor...没有without...or...优(注意:没有说前者不能用). 本来我很偏爱B, 但B有两个致命错误: 一. 两个并列无"and"连接. 二. nor 后面没有接句子,跟的是名词, Nor前面的逗号","看来就很可疑.

看来只能选E了.....


作者: tianwan    时间: 2004-4-26 08:39

liu的引用很好!呵呵。

C的nor后面没有定冠词the,这个会带来意思上的差别吗?


作者: mariezhu    时间: 2004-4-26 11:20

经过讨论,觉得pumpkin美眉说得有道理

自己又读了一遍确实without or听起来要好一些

我也找到一点or和nor的解释,分享

Both nor and or are Standard after an initial no or not, although or is more frequent today: No running nor [or] shouting is permitted in the corridors. Not wheedling nor [or] threatening could move her. Typically nor is Standard after neither, particularly in Oratorical contexts, Edited English, and other Formal uses, as in Neither her father nor her mother attended her recital. But or can also occur there. Nor is also Standard in other negative statements, as in I didn’t want dessert, nor did I want coffee. Nor meaning than is Nonstandard and regional at best, and many would label it Substandard instead: She’s no brighter nor I am.


作者: tianwan    时间: 2004-4-26 11:25
那这个the,哪位NN回答一下。
作者: jnlvo    时间: 2004-4-26 12:34

我觉得加the好,因为formalities等所属of hotel,所以sth of sth前一个sth可认为是特指,一般加the。我留意了一下,这种情况前加the的很多。

D, the best choice, uses a correct sequence of present and future indicative verb forms--predicts, will fail, and is--in the three related clauses. Density, an abstract "mass" noun, is logically construed with greater than. In A and B, would fail disagrees with the other verbs in tense and mood. Choice A misconstrues density with more numerous than, and B uses the pretentious and illogical word provided for if m a conditional clause after a negative idea (would fail)(provided不能用于否定).

B and C end with "nor" but omit the "the", creating the structure "without the X nor Y" / "with none of the X nor Y". To be parallel, it should be "without the X nor the Y." Eliminate B and C.
A and D end with "or with the", creating the structure "(without the X) or (with the Y)" or "(with none of the X) or (with the Y)". This reinsertion of "with" makes the parallelism include the former "with"/"without" and creates a readability and meaning issue. It makes it look like the vacationers will either travel without trains or they will travel with hotel accomodation. This disagrees with the logic of the sentence. Eliminate A and D.
E ends with "or the", creating "without the X or the Y". Parallel and grammatically correct - this is the correct answer choice.

This is a classic question for vertical elimination.

Scan the first words of the answer choices: "with none of" vs. "without". "Without" wins the conciseness category, but both mean the same and are grammatically correct, so we leave this detail to help us decide between answer choices later, if necessary.

Next, the phrase "the restrictions of passenger trains" repeats in all answer choices. No eliminations.

Next, B omits the "and" from "and railroad timetables". This causes an list of "A, B, nor (X, Y, and Z)." While this division is as ugly as hell and doesn't quite match the sentence logic (it makes better sense to separate into a train list and a hotel list), it is still grammatically correct. However, it dramatically reduces B's chances.

Finally the last part offers three options:
B and C end with "nor" but omit the "the", creating the structure "without the X nor Y" / "with none of the X nor Y". To be parallel, it should be "without the X nor the Y." Eliminate B and C.
A and D end with "or with the", creating the structure "(without the X) or (with the Y)" or "(with none of the X) or (with the Y)".

再刷OG看到了这道题,试着结合解释来说一下我觉得比较快的解答方法。
先推测句意:X allowed them to enjoy nature close at hand and tour at their own pace, with none of the restrictions of passenger trains and railroad timetables or with the formalities, expenses and impersonality of hotels
很明显句意是 没有(passenger trains和railroad timetables) 也没有 ( formalities, expenses and impersonality of hotels)。
所以A 和 D 就首先排除掉了,因为后半句的with改变了句意,使得整个句子的反义变成了一半的反义:没有 A, 或者有B

然后再来看or 还是 nor
举个栗子来说明: I like A and B 是我喜欢A,也喜欢B
                                  ——变成反义——
                           I don't like A or B 我不喜欢A, 也不喜欢B

一目了然,nor的出现是不必要的 ,而且without A, nor B 也不符合语法, 我认为正确的应该是with neither A, nor B 但本题的题意并不在此
排除 B 和 C, 剩下了 答案 E

作者: 小小明噢耶    时间: 2019-8-13 20:57
第一题答案是D
AB 没有None /without ... nor 只有neither 。。。nor。。。
C or with 语义错误 意思变为without。。。但是with。。。跟题目要表达的不符
D正确原因 without governs the whole sentence
