og 162( 讨论汇总里没涉及此问)

162. Concerned at the increase in accident fatalities, Tennessee adopted a child-passenger protection law requiring the parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat.

(A)  the parents of children under four years of age to be restrained in a child safety seat

(B)  the restraint of parents of children under four years of age in a child safety seat

(C)  that parents restrain children under four years of age in a child safety seat

(D)  that children be restrained under four years of age in a child safety seat by their parents

(E)  children to be restrained under four years of age by their parents in a child safety seat

This question requires the correct placement of sentence parts to achieve accurate meaning and to avoid awkwardness. Choice C most accurately and efficiently expresses the meaning of the Tennessee child-passenger protection law. Choices A and B absurdly indicate that it is the parents, not the children, who are to be restrained. Choices D and E misplace the phrase under four years of age so the phrase dangles and seems to modify restrained rather than children. In addition, E misplaces the phrase in a child safely seat to create the idea that the parents are in a child safety seat.

问题有二:

1C中的restrain不是“限制、抑制”的意思吧,如果是的话,C句岂不是说“父母限制4岁以下的儿童做安全座椅?”查了字典,没有找到合适的意思呀!

restrain
                                
[transitive]

1 to stop someone from doing something, often by using physical force

restrain somebody from doing something

I had to restrain her from running out into the street.

He had to be restrained from using violence.

2 to control your own emotions or behaviour:

Renwick restrained a feeling of annoyance.

restrain yourself (from doing something)

She could barely restrain herself from hitting him.

3 to control or limit something that is increasing too much:

Price rises should restrain consumer spending.

2OG解释:Choices D and E misplace the phrase under four years of age so the phrase dangles and seems to modify restrained rather than children.但是,under four years of age 修饰restrained说不通啊,翻译过来不是成了“四岁以下的限制”?什么叫“四岁以下的限制”啊?

请指点!感谢!!
