标题: 问一个关于代词的问题 [打印本页] 作者: justabeginning 时间: 2011-10-18 20:09 标题: 问一个关于代词的问题 在OG12 43 题中，C选项的完整形态为：43. Laos has a land area that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
OG说这是错的，因为The reference of them is unclear and the expression is generally awkward. 我们先不管后面的‘ the expression is generally awkward’ 就单说指代问题，them唯一可指代的复数名词为'four million people',既然说这个指代unclear就是说them此时不该修饰four million people,唯一可能的解释就是代词不能指代of 后面的东西。
然而，OG 12 46 中的正确选项：In ancient Thailand, much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined. 最后they的可能的指代对象只有两个，1.Buddha images (符合逻辑) 2.the temples（不符合逻辑） 无论是哪个都在of后面...
另外，OG12 78中的原句Fossils of the arm of a sloth found in Puerto Rico in 1991, and dated at 34 million years old, made it the earliest known mammal of the Greater Antilles Islands.是错误的
OG对此的解释是：Because sloth is the object of a preposition and not the subject of the sentence, there is no reasonable antecedent for the pronoun it。
