51. While Jackie Robinson was a Brooklyn Dodger, his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
(A) not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused
(B) not unlike Rosa Parks, who refused
(C) like (Rosa Parks and her refusal
(D) like that of Rosa Parks for refusing
(E) as that of Rosa Parks, who refused
Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in refusing to move to the back of the bus(逻辑意思表达的准确性,介词短语做状语到底修饰谁?); in fact, saying for refusing rather than who refused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus
这两句看不懂,谁来解释为什么产生这种歧义?
1 - 原文若改为:J was like R for refusing,从语法上,refusing的是J发出的动作,而A选项已经表明是R发出动作,所以ETS有如下解释:Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in refusing to move to the back of the bus
2 - 原文简化:his courage was like that of R for refusing ... 句中like引导比较名词,我们可以再简化:his courage for refusing,这个表达在逻辑上错了,如ETS的解释:in fact, saying for refusing rather than who refused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus
为什么有BE 动词和没有BE动词一样,望解释.我总觉得不一样,可是具体自己也说不清楚
这道题有个很重要的考点就是 not unlike;双重否定,英文中的双重否定表达的是一种强烈的语气,与Like在语气程度上有很大的区别,还有诸如just这样的弱语气词,尽量按照原文不要随意取舍。
这里J was like R for refusing是介词短语,既可以修饰R也可以修饰J,所以歧义
而用定语从句就可以避免这种歧义,清楚的修饰R
1 - 原文若改为:J was like R for refusing,从语法上,refusing的是J发出的动作,不明白,从语法的就近原则,又没有逗号,很显然是修饰R,为什么你说是修饰J呢?什么道理啊.隔了一个月再看,我还是不明白,你再帮我看看.而A选项已经表明是R发出动作,所以ETS有如下解释:Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in refusing to move to the back of the bus
2 - 原文简化:his courage was like that of R for refusing ... 句中like引导比较名词,我们可以再简化:his courage for refusing,这个表达在逻辑上错了,如ETS的解释:in fact, saying for refusing rather than who refused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus
