只看该作者
谢谢您的回复！我结合您的解释和曼哈顿论坛上的几个帖子(其实我之前是想找您说的Neuroscientists, having amassed那个例句就顺带看了几个关于ving修饰语的帖子) 觉得大致明白了
请问我这些想法是对的吗>_<?
1.我现在看第一张图的E选项,看了几遍后感觉of all immigrants to enter....这个部分好像是个独立主格...?(这个我非常不确定,因为我真的不熟悉这个结构......起码我不指望在考场能马上看出来..)
所以这句话的主语其实还是station,所以在动作发出者这个问题上其实并不存在问题..?
还有关于sametime frame这点,我在重看第一道题并对比您所说的"Neuroscientists, having amassed"那个句子的时候本来又产生了新的疑惑:在截图上的第一道题B选项, having processed这个修饰语部分不能和opened发生在一个same timeframe里,为什么"Neuroscientists, having amassed"那道题,同样是"having amassed"和"are now drawing"就能发生在同一个time frame里呢?(我当时越想越不清楚,后面简直觉得ving部分有完成时出现整个就不能和后面的动词(无论现在/过去/将来时)发生在同一个time frame里了.(因为我觉得完成时是表从过去就开始持续到现在的动作,段时间无论怎么样都和具体的某一个动作对不上) 但这么想显然是不对的)
后来自己想了下感觉想通了,不知道我这样理解对不对:RON当时解释same timeframe的时候用了时间轴来解释,就是这两个动作发生是在同一个点上.这样的话意思是不是:在open这个动作发生的这个时间点,一直持续进行的动作process在这个时间点上也发生着.(这就是他写的processing was already ongoing when the station opened→illogical,所以在这道题中B是错的)
而在Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language. 这道题中, “having amassed a wealth of knowledge”这个修饰部分其实是在修饰主语Neuroscientists.....?
我是根据RON在论坛上说的这段话和例句来理解的:
it's true that a COMMA -ING modifier must modify the preceding clause -- IF it is actually preceded by a clause!
if a COMMA -ING modifier just follows a noun (almost always the subject of the sentence), then it will just modify that noun.
eg. james, flailing his arms, yelled obscenities at the fleeing bird.
here, "flailing his arms" just modifies "james".
还有在另一个帖子中说的这条
If you have noun + , + __ing, then the __ing describes that initial noun. I.e., if there are other nouns in modifier(s) attached to that noun, then comma + __ing DOES NOT describe those closer nouns.
e.g.,
The father of the two boys, arriving at the courthouse, was xxxxxx.
--> This sentence unambiguously states that the father was arriving at the courthouse.
(我觉得这个句子的结构和Neuroscientists那道题其实非常像)
虽然在这个句子中Neuroscientists后面并没有modifier,但是ving用来修饰主语的情况应该是适用于这条的.请问我这样理解是对的吗TAT...?
(PS. Neuroscientists这道题我本来觉得应该选D.Neuroscientists have amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language. 但如同RON解释的那样“ drawing new conclusions is not an automatic and essentially unavoidable consequence of amassing the knowledge in question; the researchers must actively go beyond just amassing the knowledge to draw those conclusions.” 所以D是错误的)
2.然后关于图2的天文题和您给出的“To map Earth's interior, geologists use a network of seismometers to chart seismic waves that originate in the earth's crust and ricochet around its interior, traveling most rapidly through cold, dense regions and more slowly through hotter rocks.”这道题.
我觉得“to map...”和"Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending less time with each."这道很相似我能理解(就是根据您所说的 "如果前面有修饰成分或者是从句的话, comma ving 动作的发出这就是preceding action 这个动作的发出者 但不一定是句子的主语"这点。而且我也有在一个帖子里看过RON描述动作发出者是"preceding subject",这样的话就是指前面从句的主语就说得通了)
但是天文那道题, 前面的preceding clause,我觉得这么看说的还是astronomers have detected.(“most of them...."这个部分还是修饰语成分.这样的话主语依然是astronomers. 然后自己瞎想了一下不知道这样能不能解释得通:我觉得是不是我对preceding这个词的用法理解有点偏差了....preceding是说",ving"前面的部分必须就是个clause,如天文题中前面是个“,modifier,"就把他和句子隔开了.所以该条并不适用于这个题目的情况.
既然前面的不是一个clause,抛开“,modifier,"修饰语成分,最近的就是一个名词(80 massive planets).那还是应该用这一条if a COMMA -ING modifier just follows a noun (almost always the subject of the sentence), then it will just modify that noun.
80 massive planets就是他follow的名词(他虽然说这个名词一般都是句子的主语,但这应该算是一个特例.....?),这样的话句意也说得通,是这80个planets在circling,请问这样理解对吗?
真的谢谢您回复我这么多.....啊总之真的很感动,非常谢谢您! |
