休息了一个月,今天开始二战,在网上看到一题语法,竟然有解释也没有看懂!撞墙的心都有了!
主要就compare比较的部分不理解。读了他的解释反而对compare比较的两个方面越发模糊,到底怎么看是什么和什么进行比较呢?本人已经将不理解的地方用阴影划出,请高人指点,给我理理头绪。
一下为网上的全文: A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980. (A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times (B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times (C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio (D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio (E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times
此题句意不难,直接切入到语法分析 1 此题的第一个考点就是名词性从句省略that的相对性错误,简单,不累述。 2 此题的第二个考点关于compare这个词的用法。 compare这个词我在课堂上讲得比较简单,就通过这道题作为课堂内容的一个补充 一般来说,该词有两个意思,比喻(找相似)和比较(找不同) A compare X to Y 比喻/比较(从理论上看,to既可以用于比喻也可以用于比较,即把to用于比较可算相对性错误,比用with略不好一点,但也可以) B compare X with Y 比较 可以看出,从绝对性错误来看,用于比喻只能用to,而用于比较,to和with都可以。 上面是主动,用作被动则变成了: (as)compared to/with X, Y..... 以上是对compare的及物动词词性的分析。 compare亦可用做不及物动词,此时compare只与with搭配,不与to搭配 如Nobody can compare with him. 没有人能和他相比 His school record compares poorly[favorably] with hers 他的成绩比她差/优秀。 讲到这里,compare这个词算是分析得比较详细了 回到题目,发现此题首先可以排除b,因为b选项是该词的不及物用法(相同的例题参考讲义14题的ae选项) 而此题的ade选项都有比较对象不对等的错误。 A blue-collar workers 与 a ratio of 42 times 比 D blue-collar workers 与 42 times their pay 比 E 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers 与 the ratio of 42 times 比 而c的比较对象是对应的 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers 与 42 times their pay 比 因此,此题答案为C |
