请给位帮忙分析一下作者: angelhxl 时间: 2012-6-11 09:27
你好，原文中没说就是potential investors sign agreement，所以保证原意，不应把被动改主动。另外，因为signed是一个动词,而且谓语就这两字，未免头重脚轻，所以把that提后，明显修饰agreement。另外，c选项，be表达什么概念呢？哪里有暗示其用动词原形？作者: sunny803 时间: 2012-6-11 23:34
关于修饰语不必紧跟被修饰词的几种情况，可参考Manhattan语法第12章234页的阐释第2点： A very short predicate falls between, shifting a very long modifier back. Right: A new CEO has been hired who will transform the company by decentralizing authority to various division heads while increasing their accountablity through the use of public scorecards.
