标题: OG13 SC90 comma with modifier为何不对 跪求大神!! [打印本页] 作者: hjsdssz 时间: 2013-6-25 04:21 标题: OG13 SC90 comma with modifier为何不对 跪求大神!! OG13-90 The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after it fell over the last two years.
(C) which have increased 5 percent during the first 3 months of this year after falling C正确
(D) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after falling
(E) with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after having fallen
以下是国外论坛instructor对于comma with modifier的解释:
with modifiers are very versatile modifiers. They can modify either the preceding clause or the preceding nouns. What they modify actually depends on the context of the sentence and the wording of the modifier itself. 也就是说取决于上下文comma with modifier既能修饰前面的名词(这里的profits),也能修饰整句,我个人理解这里修饰前面的名词是合理的吧,为什么D不对呢?难道是因为没有C好吗?

D选项,WITH修饰是前面整句的修饰。C选项,是对前面的名词profits作修饰,显然C选项合理。作者: 云游 时间: 2013-6-25 11:52
关于with的用法困惑颇久了,也希望NN们能够指点一下。下面说一下个人对with用法的看法,with在我看来是不是应该和V-ing属于同一类,有做定语和状语的两种情况。其一,紧跟名词作为介宾短语,相当于形容词作定语修饰名词;其二,【,with】独立主格,同样类似于【,Ving】做状语,可以表示原因,结果,伴随和修饰之前的动词。
相当好的解释,我感觉你第二段其二的解释直接解决了我的疑惑,我把那个国外论坛instructor涉及到这几个知识点的相关解释先贴出来:
“with” modifiers are very versatile modifiers. They can modify either the preceding clause or the preceding nouns. What they modify actually depends on the context of the sentence and the wording of the modifier itself.
In this sentence, with modifier actually modifies the preceding noun. With modifier in this sentence has the following sense
India’s poorest state, which has an annual per capita income of $111
Notice how “which has” can be understood to replace “with”. ---- India’s poorest state, with an annual per capita income of $111成立
India’s poorest state--主语
However, this modifier can be understood to modify the subject of the clause(OK,这句话,我漏了) as well because of the nature of the verb - is. This is a linking verb, which establishes the following relationship:
Bihar = India’s poorest state.
So whatever modifies India’s poorest state also modifies Bihar. You can notice similar behavior of the verb-ed modifier in OG12#5 - Diabetes ranks as…
Now lets consider a scenario in which “with” modifier modifies the preceding clause.
This is a GMATPrep Question. You can find the detailed solution of this question at this link.
Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline.
再回到这道题The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits,如果想要修饰profits(宾语),根据你的理解,用comma+with modifier修饰profits就会产生歧义,所以排除D选项。
如果这道题改为The company's profits, with a 5 percent increase during the first 3 months of this year after falling, ..... 那么这里comma+with modifier修饰profits就木有问题了,不知道我和你想的一致吗? 作者: chineuro 时间: 2013-6-25 15:04
