[讨论]OG51

51.   While Jackie Robinson was a Brooklyn Dodger, his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

(A) not unlike that of Rosa Parks, who refused

(B) not unlike Rosa Parks, who refused

(C) like Rosa Parks and her refusal

(D) like that of Rosa Parks for refusing（A）

(E) as that of Rosa Parks, who refused

Choice D does not make clear whether it was Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks who showed courage in refusing to move to the back of the bus; in fact, saying for refusing rather than who refused makes it sound as if courage moved to the back of the bus.Choice A is best.

Question - why D is incorrect here??

因为D有歧义，分不清到底是Jackie Robinson 还是Rosa Parks for refusing to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama。

1.not unlike是双重否定，表强调，XDF的观点，所有强调不能改；

2.D的错误之一，歧义，his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was like that of Rosa Parks for refusing to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

＝his courage was like that of RP for refusing to move.

这里的for refusing to move可以解为 RP拒绝移动（的勇气），也可以解为（如同RP的勇气，JR）拒绝移动（的勇气）

3. D的错误之二，逻辑不通。his courage in the face of physical threats and verbal attacks was like that of Rosa Parks for refusing to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

thank you 甜橙 and buddyk!!

buddyk - about your comment #3, are you saying that "the courage for refusing to move" is ilogical?... or unidiometic?

这个51题是不是有什么典故??

什么叫BROOKLYN DODGER??

请指教

我问我问我问问问问问

传奇人物雅基罗宾森(Jackie Robinson)曾效力于蒙特利尔皇家(Montreal Royals)，然后于1947年转队布鲁克林道奇(Brooklyn Dodger)，打破了大联盟的肤色界限。

有这样的背景知识，这句话就看懂了，要不然都弄不明白意思
