想问个小白问题,为什么B中的they不能指代fossils? 是因为离指代对象太近了吗?我记得manhattan中说过代词不能指代太近的对象,是因为这样吗?还是因为they是插入成分不能指代前面句子的主语?
其他的问题都解决了,可是没有找到这个问题的答案,可能太小白了,希望大家帮忙解释一下,谢谢! 作者: wsjustin 时间: 2013-8-21 10:36
they指代fossils,意思不通吧?作者: endsakura 时间: 2013-8-21 18:45
为什么意思不同呢?they指代fossils, fossils found in Puerto Rico in 1991, 原文的意思也是说fossils在某个地方被发现,我知道如果没有they的话,根据文意推断found是修饰短语的核心词fossils, 但是为什么说they没有指代对象呢?作者: qiongle 时间: 2013-8-22 09:02
that不用再nonessential在GMAT里面吧作者: maobaobao800 时间: 2013-8-26 10:44
我认为并不是they是否能真正指代fossils的问题,that 要紧紧follow先行词,而且“,that”肯定不对,that不引导非限。在之前的帖子有大牛说过,OG里解释的without reference,多数时候不是没有指代,而是指代的不正确~
附:非主句主语代词一般优先指代主句主语,而且一般位于主句之后。
应该是酱紫的,如果那句说的不对,希望楼主确认后告我~
