标题: 请教一下各位Verbal 2nd 79 [打印本页] 作者: angelcity 时间: 2011-8-28 16:16 标题: 请教一下各位Verbal 2nd 79 the computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for 950 million,which is part of a deal that will make the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market.
(D) million as a part of a deal to make (E)million as part of a deal that will
选E,但是D的问题虽然OG说了出在"a"和"to make",但我觉得a part, to make没啥不可以,挺清楚的。请帮助看看,谢谢! OG- this sentence is a little awkward (the article a in a part is unnecessary) and says something rather different. "as a part of deal to make" sugeests that the deal itself includes making the company the "largest manufacturer" rather than its being the outcome of the deal.

?E?E是不是少了一个make啊?作者: angelcity 时间: 2011-8-29 16:01
抱歉,E里是还有一个make,继续问~作者: balapupu 时间: 2011-8-29 17:12
话说我也不懂~~查了下manhattan~ if you use the infinitive "to make", then the computer company is still the subject of the sentence. therefore, in this case you have to use the reflexive pronoun: itself. as an analogy, i can't look at me in the mirror, but i can look at myself in the mirror. same deal.
in choice (e), "...that will make..." shifts the role of subject to deal, so a reflexive pronoun is no longer needed. in fact, the reflexive pronoun would be absurd in this case, since a deal obviously can't make itself the largest manufacturer in the market.作者: angelcity 时间: 2011-8-30 10:37
