1. 不能这么理解。关键问题就是ls同学说的,"most scientists agree"说的是什么?
这么理解,逻辑填空题如下:
Most scientists agree _____.
你填"phenomenon",还是填"phenomenon is caused by ...."?
显然填后者,对吧。后者才是科学家达成共识的内容,而非"phenomenon"本身。
你一直理解为"most scientists agree"是noun modifier,修饰phenomenon——这是错误的根源。
"most scientists agree"根本就不是noun modifier,而是修饰后面那个从句的。
所以,就不能插在noun和that中间。(Ron说过,能插在中间的,只能是noun modifier)
换句话说,你单独提拉出来的"phenomenon (that) most scientists agree",这本身就不make logical sense!
1.Of all the The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotionalreactionsin an individual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.vast tides of immigration that have swept through history
请注意,这句话,that指代"
emotionalreactionsin an individual"
emotionalreactionsin an individual整个作为一个noun phrase,核心名词是
reactions,
in an individual作为noun modifier修饰核心名词
reactions这就符合Ron所说的,只有修饰那个核心名词的noun modifier,才允许插在名词和that之间。
我想说的是:应该是只有名词性修饰和介词短语可以夹在noun和从句之间。对么?不全对。“介词短语”可以是noun modifier,也可以是adverbial modifier。
举个例子:
I read a book by J.K.Rowling. 这里
by J.K.Rowling是noun modifier,修饰
bookI read a book by subvocalization. 这里
by subvocalization是adverbial modifier,修饰
I read a book在你给的上面那个例子里,
in an individual是noun modifier,所以才能插入
baby!我理解你的意思,但是我还有三个问题.
问题1:但是为什么不可以这样子理解呢?(先不谈最后的逻辑问题,仅仅说这个that的修饰)"
a phenomenon (that)most scientists agreethat is caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings"相当于把that省略了,因为在第一个that从句中phenomenon做agree的宾语,然后第二个that也是修饰phenomenon!整句话的意思可以这样说,(大部分科学家认可的)这个现象是(由人类使用化石燃料导致的。)两个都是修饰
phenomenon!就像RON说的you can string two modifiers along after a noun without a problem!!
问题2:但是他第二句话就是我画蓝线的话the problem arises when something other than another modifier comes between a modifier and its noun.这句话里的something是指noun modifier对吗?意思是除了noun modifier以外的modifiers夹在noun和另外一个modifer之间都会产生问题对吗?如果是的话,问题1我就知道为什么不行了。
问题3:RON说除了noun modifier以外的modifier都不可以这样修饰,但是OG里不是经常出现介词短语夹在名词和从句之间吗?例如:
1.Of all the The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption that lying produces emotional reactions in an anduvidual that, in turn, create unconscious physiological responses.vast tides of imgration that have swept through history
我想说的是:应该是只有名词性修饰和介词短语可以夹在noun和从句之间。对么?希望baby帮分析分析!万分感谢
