217. The plot of The Bostonians centers on the rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin. Basil Ransom, when they find themselves drawn to the same radiant young woman whose talent for public speaking has won her an ardent following.
(A) rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom
(B) rivals Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, against her charming and cynical cousin, Basil Ransom
(C) rivalry that develops between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, and Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin
(D) developing rivalry between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, with Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin
(E) active feminist. Olive Chancellor, and the rivalry with her charming and cynical cousin Basil Ransom
The enumeration of the rivals requires the conjunction and'. either the rivalry between x and y or the rivals x and y, the rivalry that develops between x and y. Choices A and D wrongly substitute with for and in the first paradigm; choice B wrongly substitutes against for and in the second. Choice E does not clearly state that Chancellor is party to the rivalry. E also awkwardly pairs Chancellor and rivalry, not Chancellor and Ransom, as antecedents of they. Choice C, the best answer, correctly uses the between x and y paradigm and clearly and unequivocally identifies both parties in the rivalry
n.竞争者, 对手
v.竞争, 对抗, 相匹敌
rivalry.
n.竞争, 竞赛, 敌对, 敌对状态
正确答案C没有问题。但C比原文多了一个修饰THAT DEPVELOPS。曾有大牛总结，多了动词一般是错，这里多了这个是不是因为RIVALRY本身的问题？
哈哈，那个大牛应该再补充一句：如果其他选项都有致命错误，而多的动词又不影响句子的表达，多就多吧。
我们是优选答案，而不是选绝对正确和简洁的。
本句中没有develop也没错；相反更简洁，不过其他答案都错，只有选C
我又再看了这一题，觉得大大有问题，但站上就仅仅这一帖，相当意外
回到主题，透过between A and B，这一题可以清楚解出C，这点没问题
但回到原句
217. The plot of The Bostonians centers on the rivalry that develops between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, and Basil Ransom, and cynical cousin when they find themselves drawn to the same radiant young woman whose talent for public speaking has won her an ardent following.
仔细分析，特别是由句意来看，发现问题很多，第一个her (her charming....) ，指的是Olive Chancellor这没问题，很清楚。
接下来句子出现when they find themselves...这里的they我想应该是指Olive Chancellor与Basil Ransom，看来问题也不大
但问题出在最后，has won her an ardent following....这个her又是指谁呢，实在是找不到指代的对象，总不会是Olive Chancellor本人吧。而且，既然句子里提到Olive是个女人，又怎么会对其他女人的光采，而要和自己的cousin决斗呢，难不成是Olive是同性恋
这一题就句意来说，真的不好理解，请大家给点意见吧。
up myself!

这一题就句意来说，真的不好理解，
这个问题我早就在苦恼，跟别人讨论半天，还不被认同，很生气，现在极其高兴看到这帖。
那三女人的关系，确实也不如两男一女那么说得通，两个思路，
1，如果第一个her是his, 那便万事大吉。
2，三女人三角友谊也勉强可以，但是has won her an ardent following....这个her我认为按照句意是指the radiant woman, 则与第一个her指代不一致，ETS在这里犯了它自己认为不可饶恕的错误。
请朋友们指正。
你二個講法比較通，但在指代上，確實如你所說，ETS又再次自相矛盾了一次

这个题的主句谓语没有看出来?请大家指教???/ 哪个是谓语???

同意你第二个说法，但是偶觉得也并非是指代上有问题，因为whose talent for public speaking has won her an ardent following是紧跟在the same radiant young woman后用来修饰young woman的定于从句。
还是觉得不清晰，恳请nn指导

懂了些了，谢谢大家！找到讲他(她)们的故事的网页，"the same radiant young woman" 叫 Verena Tarrant，是一个口才好容貌佳的MM。挺有意思的故事：
http://www.chrisreevehomepage.com/m-bostonians.html
“The viewer is left to wonder if there are lesbian overtones to Olive's 'love' for Verena, or if she simply seeks to free her from the domination of men.” 呵呵
谢谢楼上的提供网址，
此故事应该确切的说是一男一女和一个女人的故事。

简单扫了两眼，Verena就是那个radiant mm,第二个her还是指代Olive Chancellor.
天，有点扯远了，呵呵
我有个问题向请教一下，rivalry that develops between Olive Chancellor, an active feminist, and Basil Ransom, her charming and cynical cousin
这个her,是Olive Chancellor吗？但是Olive Chancellor不是主语，怎么能够指代呢？因为已经隔了
一个and Basil Ransom，用her会引起歧义阿！难道是因为Basil Ransom是个男的，就可以这么指代了吗？
我的理解那里不对路，请赐教

正想问你这个问题呢。这个her完全有指代不清的嫌疑，至少从结构上来讲是这样的：即指代Basil Ransom,也可指代Olive Chancellor.
另外，考生如果不知道Basil Ransom和Olive Chancellor是男是女，就不好区分her的指代了
.
这么多天了，还是没什么结论，顶顶先
这个her指代的是radiant young woman,没有任何歧义。
请看这一部分：...the same radiant young woman whose talent for bublic speaking has won her an ardent following.
这里的whose就是 radiant young woman's,代入到定语从句中就成了radiant young woman's talent for bublic speaking has won her an ardent following. 那么her很明显就是radiant young woman了。
关于代词指代的问题，需要把ETS出的代词的题目及解释搜集到一起，集中突破看，培养感觉。没有死板的定律可循。
我发现anyname是个大牛，每每发言都能给人启发，谢谢。
正确答案C没有问题。但C比原文多了一个修饰THAT DEPVELOPS。曾有大牛总结，多了动词一般是错，这里多了这个是不是因为RIVALRY本身的问题？
很好的问题，我的理解是：因为这里是对一部小说的情节的描写，所以加上rivalry that develops btw...更能体现小说对事物‘发展过程’的描述，而不简单是一种状态，所以还是加上that develops更传神，当然不加也不错。
哈哈，那个大牛应该再补充一句：如果其他选项都有致命错误，而多的动词又不影响句子的表达，多就多吧。
我们是优选答案，而不是选绝对正确和简洁的。
本句中没有develop也没错；相反更简洁，不过其他答案都错，只有选C
如果知道rivalry between x and y是个固定搭配，这道题目就简单了。
否则，c选项首先被排除掉了。
我对OG E.选项的解释存在疑问,它没有从语法的角度上说the rivalry with her charming and cynical cousin Basil Ransom是incorrect的,而只是从句意出发,认为这种说法没有明确Olive是竞争的另一方.rivalry的这种用法在语法上到底是否正确呢?
期待NN指点,谢谢.
