To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
OG13 #52 To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long, before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home,
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,
这题中的A,B选项，OG的解释是：A To Josephine Baker... her is redundant and awkward; the subject of the first main clause is Paris rather than Baker.
B For Josephine Baker... her is redundant and awkward; putting two introductory elements together before the main clause is awkward.
我对OG解释的理解是，这里的her指JB's，A选项可以改写成：To Josephine Baker, Paris was Josephine Baker's home...这就是明显的redundant.
我的问题是，选项C,D中Josephine Baker made Paris her home，这里的her有没有冗余？
Correct: Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
针对这个点，我之前都没有注意到喔。对于Og的这个解释。不知道有没有讨论过，这个her的存在到底合理不合理，不太清楚。
不过 To Josephine Baker, Paris was home 确实比有了her 更简洁
但是Josephine Baker made Paris her home
or Josephine Baker made Paris home
这两个哪一个简洁清晰？
感觉Josephine Baker made Paris her home 是可以的~~不过没依据。
OG13-SC-52
To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long, before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home,
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,
Rhetorical construction; Parallelism
This compound sentence (consisting of two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction and) would be most clearly expressed if Josephine Baker were the subject of the first clause since she is the subject of the second clause: Josephine Baker made Paris her home would clearly parallel she remained in France. The adverb clause long... expatriate is best placed before the main clause.
A To Josephine Baker... her is redundant and awkward; the subject of the first main clause is Paris rather than Baker.
B For Josephine Baker... her is redundant and awkward; putting two introductory elements together before the main clause is awkward.
Q1: A、B解释如何理解?
Answer:
仔细对比黑体字部分就会发现，OG说的不是"her" is redundant and awkward, 而是整个前半部分“To Josephine Baker, Paris was her”. 而redundant的理由正是OG给的general explanation中的这句。
The compound sentence would be most clearly expressed if Josephine Baker were the subject of the first clause.
对于original sentence的结构“PARIS was her home, ... and SHE remained in France ...” OG认为这个结构的写法叫做redundant and awkward。
Q2: 选项C,D中Josephine Baker made Paris her home，这里的her有没有冗余？
猴哥终于粗线了哇~
所以猴哥的意思是，并不是her本身造成的redundant,是前面这句话？
那是不是应该这样理解：前后两句主语平行的话表达才最为清楚，但是PARIS was her home, ... and SHE remained in France主语并不平行。。。并且To JB, Paris was her...,and she...似乎有两个主语想与she平行所以redundant？我还是不太明白它所说的redundant的点在哪？
那我之前那个理解是不对的吗？
