思路:理解句子意思,有转折的意思,看句子主干结构
A:conception was....telephone, a tool.; instead, it is咋看没毛病,放着
B:conceived of ...as...telephone, a tool..., but which is...but后边接完整的独立的句子,which这里算个啥啊,又不引导从句,排除
C:conceived of ...as a tool.....conversation that....; instead, it has become...除了that离a tool有隔了一个for private conversation, 其他都好,放着
D:conceived of .... conversation, a substitute这里同位语去解释conversation不合逻辑;后边which has become的which修饰conversation还是tool,有点奇怪,逻辑上是修饰radio的;而且没有转折语气了
E:other than what it is,precisely the opposite接后边比较奇怪
对比A和C,动词优秀于名词,选C
OG补充:
conceived of n as n, 不是to be, 排除D E
A中用conception是比较wordy,明明有动词形式,还要用名词+was(静态),是不合适的,明明用动词形式更优秀
B中which容易让人觉得修饰的telephone;整个句子也很awkward
E中的other than what it is是wordy, awkward and redundant, overlapping“precisely the opposite"的意思(此处不是很理解为什么overlapping?)
注意其他网友补充:
C中其实不是「跳跃修饰」,应该正名为[包覆修饰],原因是a tool for private conversation这个大名词的核心成分始终是a tool所以我们才误以为关代跳过for private conversation不理,只去修饰a tool。
事实上,关代子句的正确还原应为: a tool for private conversation could substitute for the telephone. 而非 a tool could substitute for the telephone.
同理,D中同位语修饰的也不是conversation,而是中心词tool, 因此OG没说D中的同位语修饰有问题。
另外,有的网友说A B还有个问题就是同位语atool for conversation错误的修饰了telephone,而逻辑上是修饰radio,我不以为然啊。我觉得A中是原文,理解为telephone的同位语也也不为过,substitute for telephone, 也就是substitute for atool for private conversation. OG的解释也没提这里有问题
问题来了
1.D中的a substitute for the telephone作为同位语修饰对吗?which这里有问题吗?
2.E中的other than what it is如何overlapping呢?
