标题: 请教OG12 diagnostic test 的39题 [打印本页] 作者: fidozx 时间: 2011-3-10 15:56 标题: 请教OG12 diagnostic test 的39题 According to scholars, the earliest writing was probably not a direct rendering of speech, but was more likely to begin as a separate and distinct symbolic system of communication, and only later merged with spoken language.(A) was more likely to begin as (B) more than likely began as (C) more than likely beginning from (D) it was more than likely begun from (E) it was more likely that it began
OG上面的这段解释我没看懂。。。 this sentence is a comparison in which probably not x is balanced by but more than likely y. When more is used in the comparative form of an adjective(more difficult) or adverb(more likely), it is followed by than.
一般more+adj.不就哦了么？more than+adj.是干什么啊？～～

OG的意思是，这个句子存在一个比较，是probably not...和but more than likely...的对比。but前后强调平行，more than likely=very likely,这里likely（可能地）和probably都是副词,“可能不是...而是...”。 为什么more likely不对？我的看法是，如果用more likely，比如A项，the earliest writing was more likely to begin as...那么它比较的对象在哪里？the writing was more likely than what to begin as...利用中国人说话习惯设置的障碍。
