首先E,出现being,排除;

A,B 新东方老师说:“不能从一张纸上来宣称”,我认为理由不充分,先放一下;

C the ability,即便用也是the ability to do sth. (同理排除B) 而且根据优选顺序can/be able to>the ability to do sth. 排除C

再看A,can 表示一种可能性,概率;而be able to表示具体的能力,所以选C,

而且A这里的it有指代不清的嫌疑。

the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing             the ability of 的用法错在哪里   有没有这种表达法呀  ? 请nn帮助  谢谢

1、A 我认为从句意上理解,from短语应该放在that之后。

2、ability to do sth

3、根据大全987,答案应为D

就是A中的it指代不清了?


作者: colacat    时间: 2005-2-7 19:19

应该不是指代的问题


OG上说 In A, placing that after sample rather than after claims produces that unintended statement that the claim itself is made on the basis of a single on-page writing sample.


所以XDF老师说的不能从一张纸上声明


其实可以理解为,这个公司基于一张单页纸上声明说...。就是


from a one-page writing sample 修饰的是claim


但是实际上应该是修饰 assess

对,A项的from位置不对,产生歧义。

ability of doing 我认为不对, ability of + 我体本身。 such as : ability of soil to hold water.

补充一下:

正确用法是the ability (of sb) to do sth 没有ability+ of doing/ for sb to do/for doing的说法


作者: vedder    时间: 2005-10-1 00:26
《英汉多功能词典》里面ability词条说要避免使用“ability of doing ”的用法

B中改为 the ability to assess对吗?that省略?



作者: brent_zhang    时间: 2006-1-13 14:00
宾语从句的that是不能省略的,并且has the ability是一种笨拙的用法

关于这个题目的A选项,


我称之为一脚踏两船,前后都沾边。怎么解释?看一下from a one-page writing sample跟前后成分的两种可能的理解就知道了。


1)A firm claims from a one-page writing sample that it can assess ....

2)A firm claims from a one-page writing sample that it can assess ....

个人认为也不能这样改, the firm ...claims the ability,from...,to assess...,已经改变句子的强调重心了,而且claims  ability也有表意问题。菜鸟回


作者: liuyang1984    时间: 2006-9-21 11:02

不能改

claim作及物动词的意思是1)to ask for,take ,or state that one should have(something to which one has a right)显然不符合题意。

                       2)to deserve or need

作不及物动词的意思是 to declare to be true;state,esp.in the face of opposition;

                     用法为 claim + to v

                            claim + that

            e.g 1)They (claim to have discovered/claim that they have discovered) a cure for the disease,but this had not yet been proved.

我覺得改了應該也是錯的 先不管文法上對不對

claims the ability, from***, to V.

讓讀者不禁會問the ability, what ability?

後面又缺乏that NP說明到底是什麼ability所以應該還是錯誤


作者: tracy3186    时间: 2007-2-11 14:56

这道题我选的a

我看了og的解释说a有歧异

但是我体会不出a和c意思的区别

a是从一张纸上claims

那么c呢c的插入部分又怎么翻译


作者: hohoo    时间: 2007-2-11 15:19
歧义是这样的,一种理解是that是定于从句,然后读者会误解是对那一篇sample的access,另外一种理解是that是跟claim。
造成这种误解的原因就在于那个that前面from的插入,如果分离开来就不会有这样的误解了。

同意


作者: youyou3941    时间: 2008-7-7 16:12
其实我觉得就是claim that被分开了有歧义,that指不清楚了。一般宾语从句that都是紧跟的
作者: goyce36    时间: 2008-7-13 12:26
A中that可以修饰claim,也可以修饰sample
作者: michaelwon    时间: 2009-2-5 13:48

OG11里面的解释更为明确一些:

The meaning of this sentence becomes lost in an awkward and ungrammatical construction.

The verb claims may be followed by one of two correct constructions: claims that + a subordinate clause, or claims + the infinitive. When the prepositional phrase from a one-page writing sample is placed between claims and that, the result confuses and distorts the meaning by suggesting that the claim is contained in the writing sample. Instead, the firm claims to be able ... to assess. The prepositional phrase should be placed between a pair of commas to show clearly that it is additional information not crucial to understanding the sentence.

严重同意,错误的歧义是:that可以看作sample的修饰语。

但是我感觉that是同位语从句吧,不是定语从句吧。

同问啊,觉得it有点可疑,感觉又可以就近指代sample,又能指代a firm

有没有NN来确认下啊?


作者: lzj1209    时间: 2009-9-10 18:46
我觉得(A)的问题是:
1.it指代不清
2.先不考虑逻辑含义,就语法点上来看,that可以认为是claim的宾从,也可以认为是就近修饰sample的定从,所以that也指代不清

作者: sumerlaw    时间: 2009-12-7 11:37
介词from引导的状语位置的不对导致的修饰对象的不清晰,所以意思也不好
作者: pye34878    时间: 2011-5-30 23:57
现在还有人讨论这题么?
120. A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims from a one-page writing sample that it can assess more than 300 personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.
(A) from a one-page writing sample that it can  assess
(B) from a one-page writing sample it has the ability  of assessing
(C) the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing
(D) to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess
(E) being able to assess, from a one-page writing sample
想问下from a one-page writing sample修饰的到底是be able还是assess呢?如果是assess为啥不直接放在assess之后呢?D中不会有修饰成分修饰不清的问题么?
作者: christina1314    时间: 2012-8-19 12:26
A. That可能是claims that(宾从),也可能是sample that(定从)
B.From前缺少that; the abil¬ity of比较wordy和awkward
C.the ability of比较wordy和awkward;若claims为不及物动词,后面缺少that;若claims为及物动词,句子为claims the ability of……中,ability应接to do
D. 正确
E.claims being able to 用法不对,是claims that 或claims to
