标题: gwd-4-v39

In 2000, a mere two dozen products accounted for half the increase in spending on prescription drugs, a phenomenon that is explained not just because of more expensive drugs but by the fact that doctors are writing many more prescriptions for higher-cost drugs.

a phenomenon that is explained not just because of more expensive drugs but by the fact that doctors are writing

a phenomenon that is explained not just by the fact that drugs are becoming more expensive but also by the fact that doctors are writing

a phenomenon occurring not just because of drugs that are becoming more expensive but because of doctors having also written

which occurred not just because drugs are becoming more expensive but doctors are also writing

which occurred not just because of more expensive drugs but because doctors have also written

Answer is B; I choose A;

In choice B: not just....but also是个什么用法？？？ not only....but (also)

作者: tianwan 时间: 2004-6-11 18:18

just可以解释为merely，only。此处和应该是only。

A，A phenomenon is explained because of more expensive drugs. 意思不完整。A phenomenon is explained by the fact that... . 的意思完整。

作者: LES 时间: 2004-6-11 18:21

A, 也是not just... but ...的用法啊？

具体为什么可以不太懂，但是just与only是相同的表程度的副词。而且not just也很常见。

B. 对称平行。

作者: weiyu 时间: 2004-6-11 18:22

Tianwan的意思是这种虚词只要能表达only的意思，就可以组成not only...but also结构？？

那能不能给出not only...but also的所有可能的情况呢？要不然又死了。

就象那个not so much...as/but对but的解释一样。

an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications

an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications

so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction

so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction

so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

第39题，读的快了。谢谢MM的指正；都是not just...but also...就用parallelism.

作者: mariezhu 时间: 2004-6-11 18:28

我想这大概是个改装了的not but结构 the phenomenon is explained not (just) by the fact that..., but (also) by the fact that 这个结构看起来比A更平行,而且A, sth is explained not just because of sth感觉比较奇怪,此外解释这一现象的是药品价格变得昂贵了,好像不应该是药品本身.

作者: kingsoft 时间: 2004-6-11 21:03
我记得在哪里见过not just...but also的用法

作者: tianwan 时间: 2004-6-11 21:40

weiyu：很佩服你的仔细和敏锐，偶做这一题没有看到这个not just... but also。这一题我只是根据意思，只有B读着顺，所以就没有看到not just。我一般作题是先读，读得懂的就找哪一个最顺，和别的一比，这一题还没等到偶比到not just，就已经把别的都排除了。事后看到你问，才翻的字典。偶以前只知道not only... , but....和not only..., but....also...还有not only..., but......as well.都可以。但好像ETS认为only..., but......as well.不可以。

作者: rt316 时间: 2004-6-11 22:48

'not only ... but also' is as same in meaning as 'not just ... but also'

the difference is:

'not only ... but also' is more formal, especially in writings, than 'not just ... but also', and 'not just ... but also' is much common in conversation.

BTW, would anybody tell me what is the meaning of gwd-4-v39, thanx.

在2000年，24中产品占了处方药消费增长的一半。这个现象不仅因为药品越来越贵，而且因为医生开了更多的高价处方药。

For your reference.

Another question:

Tianwan的解释

ohayo：肯定形式so much… that引导结果状语（有的语法书认为so…that引导程度状语）。本题和此肯定形式无关，不用考虑。

本题考的应该是否定形式的so much: not so much…as/but, not…so much as/but, not so much as和not so much that… but/as (that), 还有限制和非限制修饰。

ohayo： not so much as是个副词（注意，4个单词连在以一起，没有别的成分在中间）=not even,和比较无关，本题没有使用这个用法.

１，not so much…as/but, not…so much as/but: 与其说是…不如说是。but和as可以互换，在这里是同义。

A是not…so much as, B 是 not so much… as, C是 not so much…but, E是not so much…but. 对于not so much的用法来说，都是对的，也没有比较的问题。

２，not so much that… but/as (that)意思：不是…而是。第一个that不可以省略，第二个可以。

D是 not so much …, but(that), 前后不平行，前面接短语，后面接分句。所以D排除。另外，D的like应该为such as, D的certain medications causing a reaction和后面的成分不平行。

３，只有E使用非限制性的修饰，句子意思可以理解，maybe后的成分作同位语补充说明problem。

A,B,C都是用限制性修饰，排除。另外，B的like应该为such as, C的as simple as when篡改了句子意思。

先简化一下：

A. a symptom of another problem that may be a reaction, anxiety, or stress.

That从句限制性修饰problem: 另一个可能是a reaction, anxiety, or stress的毛病。隐含的意思是这个毛病只能是a reaction, 这一种anxiety, or 这一种stress中的一个。

E. symptomatic of another problem, maybe a reaction , anxiety, or stress.

这里，problem可能是任何另一个毛病，可能是a reaction , anxiety, or stress中的一个，也可能是另外的某个毛病: 比如anxiety of something else, stress of something else或别的什么毛病等等。

A从语法上讲没有问题，但是从逻辑意思上分析不严谨。同时，用定语从句修饰，不如直接用名词修饰简洁。

MariezhuMM的解释

以下是引用mariezhu在2004-4-23 12:19:00的发言：

首先是may be 和maybe的差别，（差别还是挺大的，不是么？）另外，还记得白勇同志曾指出maybe太口语化，ets倾向于一律用probably代替maybe，当然这也是他的一家之言，仅作参考，不过此处个人认为情态动词may＋be不能用副词maybe代替

偶一开始也看这个maybe不顺眼，但最终觉得A的意思不对，只能放弃A。所谓公理不是绝对的。

其次，个人理解E中似乎没有迹象表明“problem..,也可能是另外的某个毛病”啊，另外，本来只是在推测insomnia可能是a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel或者 stress before a job interview,（偶觉得，problem可以是对某些药的反应，对旅行的焦虑或面试前的压力。但

insomnia是症状，不是对某些药的反应，对旅行的焦虑或面试前的压力。），这些是作者的一些例举（列举要用such as，但这里是限制性定语从句），为什么要考虑例举是否穷尽呢？（从意思上考虑，如果只有这3个问题，就太绝对化了。）

最后，E中的平行是否也存在缺陷？is not so much an illness or a physical condition （名词）but symptomatic (形容词)of ..，事实上，改成is not so much an illness.. but a SYMPTIOM of ..岂不更好？

ETS的变态症状之一体现在OG204，OG204是个好例子。意思上的并列，而不是表面上的并列。

共同探讨。

标题: open to discussion

A. an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications

C. so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction

D. so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction

E. so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

我觉得A中that修饰a symptom,为什么就错了呢?

Symptom: A characteristic sign or indication of the existence of something else. Eg: The affair is a symptom of a global marital disturbance; it is not the disturbance itself.

a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, stress before a job interview说明a symptom of another problem的具体可能的状况是什么样的.逻辑上没什么问题.

我只是觉得not so much...as很常见.没见过not ....so much as的例子.可以这样用吗?

请指点. BTW:这题给的答案是哪个呢?

个人认为这个问题不错。

从逻辑上我们可以排除这个修饰。首先，确定symptom是指insomnia。a symptom is a reaction to certain medications，这个说法合理么？symptom和reaction之间不是同级属性关系，而是一种因果关系，是reaction引起cause symptom。希望这个解释能够让你理解。

另外，还想补充一下，关于限定性定从的修饰，我在一开始选择的时候也的确没有注意，但现在看来，这是一个大问题。从逻辑上讲，a reaction / anxiety / stress是并列的，但是，限定性定从的介入使得短语的平行发生混乱，有其他两种解释：A－a symptom / anxiety / stress平行；B－problem / anxiety / stress平行。所以，我现在觉得，还是E更合适一点。

I believe the best answer is C. 题目意思是说insomnia 不是A而是B，所以应该用"not A but B"，注意A和B必须平行。So, choices A and B are out. In D, "not an illness ... but it is ...", and in E, "not an illness... but symptomatic of ..." are not parallel. In C, "not an illness ... but a syptom ..." is good parallelism..

理由如下："... is not so much ... but ..." 仍然是基本结构。

D: "... is not so much an ... but it is a ..." 措。C 有stoneren指出的后部的结构不平行问题。只剩下E " ... is not so much an ... but symptomatic of ..." 可以接受。E的后面部分也算平行。

I stick to A.

之所以大家不接受A是因为觉得逻辑意思不合理。我想了想，还是觉得合理。

Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.
大部分的失眠与其说是一种病或身体状况，不如说是一种其他问题（就是除了前面所提到的illness & a physical condition）的症状(或者说是表现).而这些其他问题的表现可能是对某些治疗的反应---就是说人对某些治疗的反应是表现为失眠，对旅游的忧虑----因为担心旅游所有引起失眠，或者是对工作面试的紧张 ---因为紧张面试所以失眠。

我觉得这没什么逻辑问题呀。

请指教。谢谢。

“not so much ... but ..." is more idiomatic. :-)

作者: rt316 时间: 2004-6-13 09:10

To juan

At 1st, insomnia = a symptom.

At 2nd, even 'reaction' is not very clear in the meaning in this sentence, we can use 'anxiety' and 'stress' to let us understand; we can say: anxiety/stress causes insomnia, but cannot say: anxiety/stress is insomnia, right? I support your explanation that '对旅游的忧虑----因为担心旅游所有引起失眠，或者是对工作面试的紧张 ---因为紧张面试所以失眠'

At 3nd, so, we can say: anxiety/stress causes symptom, but cannot say: anxiety/stress is symptom.

我认为逻辑上应该是a reaction to A, B, or C

E我觉得不好，逗号后面加maybe，象run-on sentence，而且E用but symptomatic of another problem对称的也不如A好，怎么看都不对

我选A，我认为that修饰problem，意思是：另一种问题的症状，这种问题是对。。。的反应（对。。。的反映的症状）很符合逻辑！！

不，stoneren兄，我觉得如果是用may be的话，那么E肯定错！！！

逗号后面直接加may be必然是run-on

但是现在这个句子maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

这里的maybe在口语中很常用，理解的时候maybe可以省略，就是simply a reaction to certain medications,作为一个修饰成分

如果这样理解，结构上是可行的，但是意思上不如A好，我觉得that就是修饰problem，很对，请指点一下

A的问题1是that不知道修饰problem或中心词symptom，2是如果修饰problem意思错，3是限制性修饰不恰当。

E就是解决了修饰歧义，而且不用限制性修饰。

意思上的对称比形式上的对称更重要，OG204partly to和partly because已经清楚地说明了这一点。

so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

E错，原因：

1．不平行。明明有symptom做n.与condition平行，ETS决不会用一个a.去做正确选项，否则就是自己打自己嘴巴子。OG204，虽然partly to do和partly because在我们看来不是最完美的平行，但它至少还有partly是平行的，而且ETS在解释这道题的时候，也强调了in part和partly不平行，以此作为排除错误选项的依据。据此，我们可以看出平行是不可违背的。然而E，却是看不到一点平行的影子，这样的选项，怎么可能被ETS当作正确选项？？？

2．maybe ... 对another problem起非限定性修饰作用，我不明白为什么众多NN认为这是符合逻辑的在握看来，非限定性的修饰才恰恰是不符合逻辑意思的非限定性，那意思不就是“所有的problem都是reaction, anxiety, or stress”？？这显然不对啊，应该是“特定的一些problem才是reaction, anxiety, or stress”吧。这里“another problem, maybe a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview”的错误，我觉得很像OG220的D选项“a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788”的错误（a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788），用在这里就是another problem is defined as maybe ...

3．

以下是引用rt316在2004-6-13 3:05:00的发言：

按照你的理解，E同样可以看成是problem /anxiety /stress平行，同样不对。我觉得这个不是这题的考点，你这种理解有点鸡蛋里挑骨头的感觉

支持A

1．that修饰problem，无论是语法还是逻辑都没错，尤其是限定性修饰，在我看来，更是正确的

an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications
an
illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another
problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain
medications
so
much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another
problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a
reaction
so
much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another
problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

这题出自哪里啊?
我觉得看来看去还是 C最好，不是吗? 一点问题都没有。。
有人说as simple as ...不好，我不太理解。。。。
可是A读去来就不太顺。。。。应该是NOT SO MUCH A, But B....
在平行上C也没有任何问题后面只是一个定语从句修饰simpton

选项B其实是在靠NOT... BUT...

至于其中的aslo,just都是修饰的副词,干扰用.
个人看法

同意楼上的

连错了几道平行对称的，发觉ETS非常喜欢对称

选答案选个最工整的，正确的可能性很大

起初按照not……but……选了D

后来review的时候觉得B最工整

an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications
so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction
so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

我也觉得是C

cnt~

我觉得此题的考点

思路: 1.词的重复.phenomenon/occur.explain/because;排除AC2.前面一段话对后面的影响排除CD3.not…but平行
