不好意思,希望大家继续来讨论这个题目。谢谢。
Q4:
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.
我选e而不选b,因为B的破折号在这里既使成立也应该放在white shark和the man-eater 之间。而e中的the ones是和seven people对应的主语,killed by bee stings做定语,后面省略了谓语have been。这个句子好比说 I am older than you (are) 一样的效果。
E不好,因为E的时态和未划线部分的时态存在差异,而这种差异是不合乎逻辑的;
A的表述如果如你所言,那么the man-eater of结构必须重新用shark开个头,句子就显得罗嗦了,这里的破折号用来因为movies作为一个非谓语结构中的名词,所以无法和fewer than have been中的动词实现逻辑搭配,所以划线部分的have been只可能和未划线部分的have been平行,所以句子的表达没有问题。
E " killed by..." 不是表示时态,同志
單就本題我有兩點疑問
一,這一題的破折號與逗號的作用是否相同
二,如果是為了修飾people,那麼就直接找few修飾還是less修飾較好
謝謝
E里面ones指代的对象不明确。
关于破折号的作用, agk99兄可以参考这个帖子的30楼.

我觉得B错
than后面少了一个those或者ones,毕竟被bees干掉的与被鲨鱼干掉的不是同一批人;B中的have been甚至可以省略。
open to discussion
同问~~~~~~~~主语可以省掉吗?
还有,我选了E,the ones 有什么问题吗?

the ones - can refer to people or movies, right?
so i chose B...

关于E,
1。the ones,在语法里,只有指代人的意思,没有指代物。
2。killed,在这里表示被动,不表示时态,不存在时态对错(你需要什么时态,它就是什么时态)。这里只是说那些被bee杀死的人。
关于B,fewer than what? 没有说明 句子明显残缺
我选A。
1)破折号表示后面的是同位语,类似于用一个新名词
2)B不好,因为没有比较对象, fewer不如less好,当表示多少的时候的比较级
3)E不好,用一个adj.作dangling modifier却不能修饰主句主语
A is not the nest answer.
A lot of writings in AP news or Nytimes news suggest that using of "ones" is frequently used by native writers.
Examples:
"A lot of the courses, like Pinehurst, the ones that are essentially all green, you have to really, really search for that perfect lighting," she continued. "Otherwise the painting would just be incredibly boring."--from today's nytimes;
But when highly respected legal experts on civil liberties, including ones favoring same-sex marriage, raise the same possibility, their concerns cannot be dismissed as partisan debating points.
--------also from today's nytimes.
the answer is e
absolutely
这是一种比较词than或者 as之后出现主语省略的情况
1. In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
(A) Americans were killed as
(B) Americans were killed than
(C) Americans were killed than those who
(D) more Americans were killed as there(A)
(E) more Americans were killed as those who
这是OG里的一道题目
答案是A 在as 和would later be killed之间省略了 americans
这么说,shark的那一题正确答案还是应该是B, 首先fewer的用法是对的,虽然说less在MW字典里可以这样用,可是它也说了这是新近的用法,不代表出题的就接受。很多语法书的语法点gmat也是不接受的。
其次,have been与前面的时态是呼应的。
这道题很阴险阿,ETS设置了很多陷阱,首先B的破折号会让人有比较插入语成分的歧义,所以不能选B
其次,答案E之所以用The ones而不是those,因为those会有歧义指代插入语的movies,只有the ones才能指代前面的复数人

OG上的这道题目被引用了好几次,但我认为OG上的题目和GWD这道题目有一个非常大的区别,那就是OG里被省略的成分是“Americans",在主句是泛指。如果将之补全,就是
In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as Americans
would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
但GWD里这道题主句的主语是Seven people,如果将B省略的主语补全,则变成了
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—fewer than seven people
have been killed by bee stings.
怎么说也是不合乎逻辑的。另外B中破折号的用法我认为也很有问题,B中破折号变成了强调修饰的对象是movies
我个人觉得正确答案还应该是E. Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies, fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.
其实完全可以将E稍微改写一下以帮助理解:
Only seven people , fewer than the ones killed by bee stings, this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies.

选对了E都没有考虑到ones只能代指人这一点
还有D是肯定错的,a number 只能在此做同位语,但前面都没有出现number(seven 不是中心语),又能和谁同位呢?
各位NN,我认为这道题的E更好些。关于我的看法如下:
首先,是关于标点符号。在OG11上有一题说了,就是梵高画的那道题,插入语的前后应该是两个逗号,如果说破折号也可以放在插入语前后,那应该是没有逗号的情况下吧;
其次,关于the ones。我觉得不存在混淆的问题,因为than的比较并列使得前后自然是人与人在比较;
第三,关于killed。我觉得有可能是省略have been,因为在看了很多题后发现,句子中比较结构前后凡是相同的结构基本都可以省略,甚至我觉得the ones因为也代表人,也可以省略。
请各位大N多多赐教
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the
movies—fewer than have been
killed by bee stings.
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies, fewer than the ones
killed by bee stings.
有人能告诉我在这里,fewer 是什么成分吗?
E的问题在于the定冠词,难道大家都忘了the定冠词的用法了吗?"特指"啊!!
有了这个the,那么the ones就是特指前面出现过的同一物体.比如这里指people,那么就是特指the people,也就是被great white shark所杀的这seven people.因为不可能还同时被bee stings所杀,所以E是不对的.
ones并不是非要指代人,这个概念不能继续被误导了.
fewer做后置修饰啊.
有了这个the,那么the ones就是特指前面出现过的同一物体.
这句话没有根据,the的存在是因为后面对one有所修饰,这样的用法很多的,可以在google搜索"than the one"(加双引号搜索)到很多。

这个网页里有类似的句子,我想就是出处了。
Such fears, however, are largely unfounded. According to
Nature Publishing Group, "Only seven people this century have
been killed by the Great White Shark, the man-eater of the
movies -- fewer than the number killed by bee stings."
Between 1990 and 1997, there were 28 deaths of children from
television sets toppling over on them. That's four times the
number of deaths compared to an entire century of deaths from
Great White Shark attacks.

可以看出来,破折号在“出处”和本题里都是解释说明的作用。
In my opinion E is incorrect because it makes a comparsion between number (7 people) and people.
If you substitute choice E, this is how it would look:
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great
white
shark, the man-eater of the movies, fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.
有了这个the,那么the ones就是特指前面出现过的同一物体.
这句话没有根据,the的存在是因为后面对one有所修饰,这样的用法很多的,可以在google搜索"than the one"(加双引号搜索)到很多。
不明白你的意思。你是想说你搜索到的这些than the one指代的不是前面出现过的事物吗?
than the one本身不会有错,只是用在错误的地方才是错。所以搜索出再多的“than the one”也不能说明他在这句话里就是对的。
不过我认为那是不可能的。the就是表示特指或者独一无二的物体。小哥,越基本的也是越重要的。
语法点:
1、 比较(Comparison):fewer than 比…少,用于可数名词(few的比较级); less than 比…少,用于不可数名词(little的比较级);
2、agreement。B中which 通常紧跟其指代的n,D中the ones 指代模糊,而且the的用法奇怪
我觉得因为B中have been 非常公整的对照了第一句,故而很清楚省略了people.所以我选B.
个人观点,仅供讨论
我纠结于B的原因就是不明白than后面的代词能不能省略
请NN指点!!
