标题: OG13-43题求答疑
Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million, and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom
这个题我想首先判断but的词性,如果根据意思判断but词性是连词的话,那么C和D就不对,因为C中but后面的部分仔细看是没有句子的,many of them只是个从句,不能算作真正意义上的句子。A项E项but后虽然无句子,但是but前无逗号,这时but可以当做一个带有转折意思的and。 而且C项的them是代词,不能引导句子,E项的whom是关系代词所以能引导句子。
不知我的理解是否正确。

为什么要集中看but? 这句里面but不是重点 我感觉zhuang你的思路有些偏,建议先仔细体会OG的official explanation中的要点。
这题的排除点主要是
1. land area与Great Britain(a nation)不能对比 ---Comparison
2. population, where many be从句错误。---Pronoun & Clause
3. has a land area but four million 不平行 ---Parallelism
我最后点评一下but,但是下次不要纠结于某个词的词性这种小问题上了。句子上来,首先要结合语义去想。然后才是phrase structure,最后才是individual words。
but这里都是连词conjunction,只不过有些选项用了省略,有些没有。
Laos has a land area comparable to that of Great Britain BUT a population of only four million people, many of whom ...
= Laos has a land area BUT (Laos has) a population.

请问猴哥,but作为介词的时候,其用法是怎么样的?是表示“除了”的意思吗?

but, as a preposition, means "apart from" or "except".
e.g. There's no one but me. = There's no one except me.

神猴说的对,做SC先从大处着眼。A是比较对象和代词指代问题。B是比较错误,there is wordy,还有and many用法错,使句子重心变化。C是表达繁琐。D是and many错误。E正确。
这题我知道其他考点的,but这里只是我的一个疑问。多谢。
我按意思判断but在这里是连词。你说E是but后省略了主语,那么其他是不是也都是按省略了主语看,如果是的话,我感觉就太混乱了。感觉刚学的时候这规则那规则, 到后来每个规则都有个“潜规则”,就感觉没规则了。是不是就像武侠小说中的,刚开始学了这招式那招式,到最后学到最高境界了,就到了那种无招胜有招的境界了。
还有C项的them不能引导从句对吗,我在有道的权威例句里搜了下many of them,后面没有跟着句子的。many of whom后面可以跟句子的。

..., and many of them Verb ......
..., many of whom Verb .....
然后的确可以理解为无招胜有招…… 咳咳 其实你没学一个结构一定要联系句意,我不赞成去记住每个“规则”,人脑又不是电脑,考试的时候怎么能反应的过来这么多规则呢?
永远学习正确句子是如何用“正确的结构”表达“正确的含义”的。懂了英文本身,就能做SC了。

猴哥~~~劳烦请教个问题~
错误选项C -“but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them xxxx” -的OG解释有一句说them指代不清。
我觉得很清楚啊, but 从句以及前面的主句里只有people是复数,不能指代别的了吧?
另外manhattan里P240有关于subgroup modifiers的表达法:
This model explains all known subatonic particles, some of them only recently discovered.
我理解此处some of them这个'类同位语'已经类似于固定表达法修饰前面挨着的先行词,不知这样理解错在哪里?

错误选项C -“but in Laos with a population of only four million people, man ...
Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million, and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom
如果是C的话,句子主体变成:
Laos has a land area that is ... size, but in Laos with a population, MANY of them are members of hill tribes.
"MANY of them" is actually the subject of the latter clause, which could also be transformed as "..., but MANY of them are members of hill tribes in Laos with a population of XXX people."
actually as you say, the former clause has no plural noun, so "them" refers to NOTHING! refer to some plural noun in the above context.
("in laos" is an adverbial modifier to the verb "are". let alone a noun modifier "of XXX people" IN the adverbial modifier "in laos ..." to a SUBJECT+VERB itself...)
NOW, this manhattan example:
This model explains all known subatonic particles, some of them only recently discovered.
Yes, i think this is correct. the phrase "some of them + adj." is an appositive to particles.
But here "some of them" is just an appositive, while "some of them" in C is a subject of the latter clause.
In general, if you want to introduce another clause, we should use
1) ..., and many of them Verb ......,
or 2) ..., many of whom Verb ....
BTW, C has many other faults much more obvious than Reference/Pronoun Issue.
For instance, Meaning issue (it changes the original meaning), Redundant, missing "of"(not "the land area is a size"), etc.
hope it helps. : )

猴哥好辛苦哦,这么晚来回答问题~~~
你前面关于many of them v和many of which v的用法区别确实很赞,我也是查了半天觉得你的解释最到位~
不过猴哥其实我关注的不光C这个选项的排除点,而是为什么说them指代模糊,所以弱弱的追问一句,如果加上连词比如and,只关注them指代问题的话:
Laos has a land area that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, (and) many of them are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
我咋觉得这个them指代的就是复数people阿, 和正确选项中(many of )whom指代的性质没有本质区别呢?
谢谢啦~~~

coco没有理解我的意思~ 如果你加上and 那么这句话就是不成立的了!
事实上,C 的句式结构,MANY of them or MANY itself 恰恰就是the Subject of but clause.
所以
1)不能加and
2)很据迷惑性,但是不太可能refer to people。理由就是subject本身去指代一个次要+次要的自己的“句子成分”。这不合理。
其实你觉得them只有可能指代people这种想法也具有一定合理性。但是问题就是这整句话都是错漏百出,你去研究清楚一个错误句子的指代是否有问题,这件事本身也许就没有结果。
(因为这句话本身就是人为编造出来的,方方面面都awkward。)
分析OG SC时有两大正确思维需要注意:
1)正确选项永远正确!
--- 不要问“Is this structure correct? / why is it correct?”,
要问“is it somewhere i didn't find that is correct? / What could i learn from this correct structure? / How does the correct structure deliver the correct meaning in the original (though might incorrect) sentence.”
2)错误选项就是错!
--- 不要问"Is this correct if I change 1 or 2 or 3 parts of the structure?", "how could it become correct by modifying a little bit?",
更佳的思维是 “What's the main faults in this INCORRECT choice?”, "How does it DISTORT the correct meaning implied by the original sentence?".
Try not to focus on some minor, but really really subtle issue in the INCORRECT choice.
The incorrect one is INCORRECT because of a COMBINATION of lots and lots and lots of incorrect issues. Never to save it by switching one or two individual parts.

谢谢猴哥耐心解答,以前没理解句子逻辑重要性的排序还和指代对象有关,以为只要位置在他前面的都可以指代。
另外猴哥请教一个你提到的,也是我琢磨了好久的抽象问题,你说什么才算是选项中重要的错误? 是自己掌握最牢的点,还是主谓一致这类的逻辑问题?你说C中最重要的错误是哪个呢?
不慎感激!

这个不好说,因为每道题每个选项都会有所不同,但是判断的一个依据是:
Which part of it distorts the original meaning MOST?
其实SC就是在考核你对于正式文书写作中,是否有能力简洁有效的表达“正确的意思”。
非常类似于真实商学院中,professor or students之间互改essay的场景。看到一个错误的表达,要能够识别出主要的错误,并且在不扭曲愿意的基础上改写到最佳的状态。
题目分析:
Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million, and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom
OA: E
对于这道题来说,我们不是看C的主要错误是什么,而是看original sentence的主要错误是什么:
1. land area与Great Britain(a nation)不能对比 ---Comparison
2. population, where many be从句错误。---Pronoun & Clause
3. has a land area but four million 不平行 ---Parallelism
满足以上三点的,只有E。
C 修改的时候完全脱离的123,
1的方面,它创造了一个新的问题,be of a size (not "a land area" is a "size".)
2的方面,它干脆另起了一个句子(but clause),这的确是解决从句错误的一种方式,但是完全改变了愿意。
3的方面,同上。

这道题目,太tricky了
A:area vs. GB,错,两者不具有可比性
where这里一定指代一个地方,从结构上,那么就近,只能指代GB;OG说where指代population,是因为在逻辑语意上后面要表示在L这4m的人口中,有许多人怎么怎么样,那么where这个位置应该是一个表人口数量或者这些人的代词,但是where本身有不能指代人口数量和代词,而where却在结构上占着这个位置,所以才是错误的;再一次证明OG是该有多么看中语意啊!!摔!
还有一个问题,请看many,many这里是个代词!!!意思是许多或者许多人,可是many没有先行词!绝对错了!
B:....GB is;is的使用是错的;要么is是多余的,表示L有一个地方,这个地方的大小和GB一样;要么is应该是has,表示L有这么一个地方,面积和GB有的一个大小一样。同时,many是代词,这么没有先行词;而且,句子结构,SVO01,but SVO02,and SVO03;错了
C:首先这里的area解释成面积,比较结构这里是正确的,不知道这个算不算牵强了有点儿;many在这里的确是有个先行词people了,them也只能指代people了,表示这4m中的很多人怎么怎么样;但是many of them......本身是一个亚修饰成分(下面我会解释),后面不可以出现谓语动词are;就是说未划线部分的are就限制了many of them这种用法是错误的,排除
D:比较对象are 和 size,怎么说呢,这个可以解释的过去吧,面积和大小,but连接两个平行的元素(land area地广)but(4m population人稀),many没有先行词,排除
就只剩下E了
关于“亚修饰成分”,表示被修饰的名词中的某一部分怎么怎么样(在第五版P240页subgroup modifiers)
看过曼哈顿的童鞋都知道这个,他有三种结构
1. neither/none/...some/many/...of 连系代词 (which/whom等) 动词......只有这种结构的亚修饰成分是有谓语动词的
2. neither/none/...some/many/...of them.....不能有谓语动词
3. neither/none/...some/many/...同上,没有谓语动词
那么就知道E为什么对了吧,这不就是亚修饰成分的第一种形式么。。。。。
我的疑问:
a polulation of only 4m people,这里population和people不冗余吗?我觉得要么就是四百万人,要么就是人口数量是四百外。。。。有四百万人的人口数量总觉的怪怪的。。。

刷OG看到这道题,也不太懂them的指代,但是到了斑竹的解释,好像有点懂了~
C选项说
Laos has a land area that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
如果这样的话其其实从in开始到后面的逗号都是修饰部分,可以删去不看,原句就变成了
Laos has a land area that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but many of them are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
Ls不觉得这个用but连接的句子的them没有指代吗?
如果像LS所说,加一个and就变成了这样
Laos has a land area that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but and many of them are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.这样不仅them没有指代,而且连词也不对了。
主要的问题还是不要被 in Laos with a population of only four million people的结构迷惑了,它不是可以在but后面跟前面的句子并列的~
