734.The domesticated camel, which some scholars date around the twelfth century B.C., was the key to the development of the spice trade in the ancient world. (A) The domesticated camel, which some scholars date (B) The domesticated camel, which some scholars having thought to occur (C) Domesticating the camel, dated by some scholars at (D) The domestication of the camel, thought by some scholars to have occurred (E) The camel’s domestication, dated by some scholars to have been 答案是D。我选E。大家帮忙看看我的错误在哪里? 对于E的选项错误大全解释里面说, E) sb. date sth. to have been的to have been没道理, 正确sb. date sth.to 时间。 如:We can date the skeleton to approximately 2500 BC. date: tr. To mark or supply with a date: date a letter. To determine the date of: date a fossil. To betray the age of: Pictures of old cars date the book. Longman里面对date的解释是find age [transitive] to find out when something old was made or formed: The rocks are dated by examining the fossils found in the same layer. 做题时有两个考虑让我没有选D: 1。题文中明确表示了是Date,确定年代,怎么能改成是认为呢(thought by some scholars) 2。过去分词的修饰对象错误。过去分词thought by some scholars是修饰camel。我这样理解的根据是: 一般来说,在句中的过去分词前面有逗号,修饰前面的名词。如大全766和OG127的解释 The human growth hormone, made by the pituitary gland, is secreted in higher concentrations during sleep than during waking hours.
OG127. In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees' paychecks. assigned by them to the United Nations. (A) for their employees' paychecks, assigned by them (B) for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned (C) for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned (D) in place of their employees' paychecks, for those of them assigned (E) in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them In choice A, the phrase assigned by them modifies the adjacent noun, paychecks: the sentence implies that paychecks, rather than employees, work at the United Nations.
疑惑: 1。所找的例子不是如D的A of B的结构。对于A of B后面的过去分词到底修饰什么?是不是还是如OG127A的解释修饰adjacent noun? 大家有没有见过其他例子。 2。是不是有sb. date sth to be的用法?虽然有人肯定说没有,http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&replyID=404945&id=48177&skin=0 但我不知道他的根据是什么? 3。或者E还有什么错误?有人说所有格形式 根据逻辑关系用of,请问这个有道理吗?
