标题: 求问OG13 SC52 的long before it was...修饰问题
To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home,
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,

我想问的是，我总觉得DE选项long before...写在整个句子最前面感觉像修饰整个句子（即修饰made和remained两句话），所以抛弃D选了C，求大牛指点！
还有OG对C的解释Inversion of the expected word order in to be an expatriate was unfashionable is awkward.一直不是很理解，看了前人的帖子还是没有领悟，求指点！

个人浅见：
Long before...在句首，但后面是形式主语结构：it was fashinable to be an expatriate 所以没有修饰问题了
C选项OG的解释是说，把 it was fashinable to be expatriate 写成 to be an expatiate was fashionable 很awkward~ 也就是说这种结构最好是形式主语，才比较符合他们的表达习惯~

谢谢啦~！
不过我还是不太明白，为啥后面是形式主语结构就没问题了呢？求教哈~~

这样的结构更偏好~~其实C在语法上也没有错的，只是D更好~~
至于你说的那个修饰，（其实我没明白你的疑惑在哪里）因为这个句子意思很清楚，不容易引起歧义~

其实我就是纠结long...一句能不能修饰整个句子，也就是修饰made和remained两句话，因为我觉得long...一句修饰remained那句话逻辑上不太对，所以才觉得有问题的

it不是指代to be an expatriate么？那前面这句long before...有米有感觉不知道它指的是Paris还是啥啊........

作者: DreamerHan 时间: 2014-8-11 03:49
expatriate n.移居国外者 it是形式主语指代to be an expatriate，不是指代Paris......
Paris was fashionable to be an expatriate.这意思也太ridiculous！上面楼层有说错的........

其实我认为it作形式主语是指代后面的that或to be等结构的。
这也正是it的作用啊，避免头重脚轻。

中学英语老师说的。
结果我在千行笔记里看这个这个解释：
it做形式主语的时候不指代任何东西（这个知识点是新的！我之前以为会指代to do结构）

THE ONLY PRONOUNS ON THE GMAT THAT DON'T HAVE TO STAND FOR NOUNS:

It + description+ that +complete sentence (independent clause)
It + description+ to +verb (infinitive)
It + (TOBE verb) + NOUN t做形式主语的时候不指代任何东西（这个知识点是新的！我之前以为会指代to do结构）

THE ONLY PRONOUNS ON THE GMAT THAT DON'T HAVE TO STAND FOR NOUNS:

It + description+ that +complete sentence (independent clause)
It + description+ to +verb (infinitive)
It + (TOBE verb) + NOUN + that/who + verb【强调句】

these "it"s DO NOT have to stand for nouns.

=====》我个人其实不很赞同。
大家共探讨。

找到曼哈顿的原文了。Page235
placeholder it

不定式和that clause做主语都是awkward的，应该postphone它们，并用it放在句首做placeholder。

谨记。

Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home. 这是一个完整的句子，long before引导的是一个从句啊。你说修饰整个句子是什么意思。

C 中made和was两个谓语，错。

Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home. 这是一个完 ...

To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,

问一下这个A选项， and she 说明前后两句是并列关系，OG说前一句主语最好是J.B这个人。我的疑问是，并列句的主语是一定相同吗？感觉见到好多反例。

还有，C中这种情况算两个谓语吗？？i go home long before she arrives. 感觉这句也说得通，不算两个谓语吧？
