以下是引用colacat在2005-4-19 23:21:00的发言:
这个its指的是house 不是做主语的动名词短语
这个it确实是指代owning......因为as,like前后要完全一致. 如果一方是短语, 另一个也是, 所以it指代的不是house. 还有一个大全的例子就是讲植物呼吸的
大全81. Although fruit can no longer grow once it is picked, it continues for some time to respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide, similar to the way human beings breathe.
(A) similar to the way human beings breathe
(B) similarly to human beings who are breathing
(C) just like the breathing of human beings
(D) as human beings when breathing(E)
(E) just as human beings do when they breathe
这里C就是错的, 因为它用breathing来对等respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide. 虽然意思上完全对, 但形式上错. 而正确答案E就用human beings do. 另外, 虽然正确答案E添加了弱语气词just, 但它还是对, 说明like,as的平行问题远远超过弱语气的添加这个effectiveness的错误.
