白勇语法全解 第三章 主谓一致 第28题 Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle. (A) Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle. (B) Out of every four, three automobile owners in the United States also owns a bicycle. (C) Bicycle are owned by three out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States. (D) In the United Statsa,three out of every four automobile owners owns bicycles. (E) Out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States,bicycles are also owned by three. 答案解析: B D 中单数谓语动词owns与复数主语three automobile owners主谓不一致,被排除。 C E 中bicycle are owned by 使用被动语态,并且被动语态改变原句的强调重心,原句是统计数据,强调有多少汽车拥有者拥有一辆自行车,CE选项强调所有的自行车被谁拥有,逻辑意思不合理,被排除。 选择A 但我个人对A有疑问,为什么用also own a bicycle而不用bicycles?用also own a bicycle会不会有歧义,理解成三个人拥有一辆自行车或者三个人一人一辆自行车?虽然宾语在语法上不是由主语决定的,但在逻辑上应该对应吧? 请NN指教。
