A. a visa, a landing card, and evidence of inoculation against typhoid fever would be needed by each of them B. they would need a visa, a landing visa, and evidence of their being inoculated against typhoid fever C. they would need evidence of being inoculated against typhoid fever and a visa and landing card D. they would each need a visa, a landing card, and evidence of inoculation against typhoid fever E. they would need visas, landing cards, and evidence of inoculation against typhoid fever for each of them.
给的答案是D。
E错在哪里呢？ D中的each附加在they之后，起修饰作用，应该并不改变they作为主语的性质，后面跟的visa，card等应该用复数才是啊？作者: bitieming 时间: 2011-8-17 09:14
they need...for each of them是awkward的 each作副词修饰need，用单数清晰表明了“每个人分别需要一个V，一个L和一个E"的含义，用复数则表达一个人可能需要多个V，L和E，造成了表达的不清晰。作者: xcdamon 时间: 2016-3-5 11:58
