以下是引用aeoluseros在2008-10-21 13:11:00的发言:比如:A of B in C. in C有没有可能修饰有点远的A,修饰A和修饰B的优先级是不是相等。抑或是in C只会修饰B?(介词短语就近修饰)**这里不必具体去追究A of B in C是怎样修饰的,要看具体情况,这不是个固定的搭配。请看下面分析。 比如GWD-1-Q2这题的B选项: By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country’s $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks. B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the country, which ranges E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country’s $21 billion book market, which ranges PS:本题我支持选E。第一保持原句形式,第二总觉得B有A of B in C,而不清楚in C是修饰谁的歧义 CD上的争议在B,E之间。 B中应该用...book market of the country...,用in本身就是一个错误,不必计较。另外,which定语从句是否一定要就近修饰?实际使用中只要不会引起岐意就可以隔词修饰,美语本来就是这么灵活的。但是这里需要注意,在GMAT考试中,ETS因推崇清晰表达故比较喜欢就近修饰,以免产生歧意,因此,我们需要就近理解它的修饰意思。 E中to 10 percent from 6 percent其实是比较晦涩的,不过,这样用不影响意思的表达和语法结构,而后面部分从结构到意思都没错,所以,E就是正确答案了。 个人观点谨供参考。
