这道题答案我选对了,但是我的想法和白勇讲的不一样,就是关于 contributed…… 这个分词短语修饰谁的问题。我觉得 contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and……是就近修饰 a meteorite impact 的,而白勇说是修饰 global forest fires 的。他说是全球的森林大火导致 the extinction of the dinosaurs,而不是 meteorite impact导致恐龙灭绝。但是按照分词短语就近修饰原则,难道不是 meteorite impact 导致 the extinction of the dinosaurs 吗?
请牛牛们指点一下!
global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact是主语,ignitedby是过去分词作定语,contributed to是谓语。你可能把contributed to理解成过去分词了。
1,vi:contribute to sth:导致,促成,使发生。
2,vt:contribute sth t给...,捐sth,贡献sth。
所以sth contributed to sth/sb很容易被理解成 2的被动形式,但这样句子就没有谓语了。
supporting the theory that global forest fires(主语) (ignited by a meteorite impact 修饰fires)contributed(谓语) to the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other creatures some 65 million years ago.
阴险啊。
如果这么一解读,的确是B最简洁,清晰
