标题: 定语从句的修饰问题－对OG解释的困惑

The commission proposed that funding for the park's development, which could be
open to the public early next year, is obtained through a local bond issue.

(A) that funding for the park's development, which could be open to the public early
   next year, is
(B) that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early
   next year, be
(C) funding for the development of the park, perhaps open to the public early next
   year, to be
(D) funds for the park's development, perhaps open to the public early next year, be
(E) development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next
   year, is to be

OG 的解释：

===================================================
Choice B is best.

Choice
A attaches the relative clause which could be open... to the noun
development, when, in fact, it is the park that could be open.

Choice
E, which seriously distorts meaning, says that the commission proposed
development funding and that such funding could be open to the
public....
===================================================

在A里，OG认为which从句修饰的是development，最近的名词，但是E里OG却认为which从句

修饰的是funding，而不是park，是OG的解释错了，还是我没理解呢？

请高手指点

E development funding for the park, 偶觉得which从句语法上修饰funding和park都行，从语义上修饰park。和B类似。

如果E有问题，B也有问题。ETS是强盗逻辑。

请指正。

164. The commission proposed that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is obtained through a local bond issue.

(A) that funding for the park’s development, which could be open to the public early next year, is

(B) that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early next year, be

(D) funds for the park’s development, perhaps open to the public early next year, be（B）

(E) development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year, is to be

个人意见, 烦请指正....

本题照理说应该是考察对虚拟命令语气的语法点以及虚拟语气须用动词原形, 所以ACDE皆不好.

而B为最佳解. 但这边OG却指提到proposed最好加that, 外加对非定性定语从句一些似是而非的解

释, 当然我不是说不要看OG, 只是觉得无论是定语从句或是非定性定语从句只能修饰最接近的先行

词, 我从OG上也找不到方向. 同样的跳跃修饰可见OG85和OG114.

OG114:

From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons or eight hundred pounds of baggage so light that a person could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

OG85:

Out of America’s fascination with all things antique have grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that are bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

PS: 突然心中有个想法, 觉得OG-SC不是一个人写的, 感觉其笔触与表达方式有多人的感觉...cc

我听过的亦是如此，OG是由一群老师编的。

一般来说，
A of B , which从句--à 从句修饰B
A for B, which从句--à 从句修饰A
这是我考试前最后写下的整理，
大家对对看

个人认为,E中The commission proposed development funding for the park, which could be open to the public early next year, is to be

development funding 作为proposed 的宾语,根据中心词原则,which 就应该修饰development funding .感觉可能如果which前没逗号那可能就修饰park.

不知对否?

这个对于E 管用，可是用在A上，就和ETS矛盾了

你说的和我想的一样，因为仔细比较一下， A 和 E 的差别就是一个作从句的主语，一个作动词的宾语。

vincent0330，

你举的两个例子，定语从句都是跳跃修饰作宾语的名词，我觉得这很可能是英语（至少是美语）中的一种语法，可能一直都被我们忽略了（我们总是follow就近一致的原则）。

觉得这个问题值得深入探讨，要么是个语法点，要么是OG写书的人不太负责任（这种自相矛盾发生在一道题里，应该和多人没关，除非写书的人是按 A，B， C， D，E 分工的）

vincent0330，

呵呵...我那PS只是题外话啦....有多人笔触的想法是因为有些题的解释到位, 有些则觉得很笼统....
