Marconi's conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation: instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.
(A) Marconi's conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is
(B) Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is
(C) Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become (D) Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become
(E) Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,
答案no doubt ,看D。
千行中是这么解释的:
D选项的which只能修饰telephone(Ron):
from what we've seen - if you have "which" following "noun1 + preposition + noun2", then "which" can refer to noun1 only if noun2 is grammatically ineligible. otherwise it automatically refers to noun2.
但是Prep08语法笔记 #210,讲到which跳跃修饰时说:
which在两种情况下可跳跃修饰。
1,A of B,which...修饰A
2,插入语
我的疑问:本题D中 a substitute for the telephone:
1,是插入语吗?若是,为何不可跳跃修饰?
2,若不是插入语,算作同位语,那怎么样才算插入语呢?

1.appositive;appositive遵循touch rule,最好紧邻修饰;
2. 插入语和同位语是两个概念;
插入语:当一个词、短语或从句用在句中,与句子其他成分没有语法上的关系时,它就叫独立成分,独立成分分为惊叹语、呼语和插入语。
而同位语是modifier的一种,修饰句子里的各种成分作者: lxskyfly 时间: 2013-6-1 18:52
