大全-868  

我还是不明白,为什么不是用their指代stores,而是用its指代the  chain  of retail stores?供货商不应该是stores的供货商吗?怎么是the chain的供货商呢?

麻烦哪位大虾再受累给解释一下吧!谢谢!

To ensure consistently high quality in its merchandise, the chain of retail stores became involved in every aspect of their suppliers’ operations, dictating not only the number of stitches and the width of the hem in every garment as well as the profit margins of those suppliers.>>

(A) their suppliers’ operations, dictating not only the number of stitches and the width of the hem in every garment as well as

(B) its suppliers’ operations, dictating not only the number of stitches and the width of the hem in every garment as well as

(C) their suppliers’ operations, dictating not only the number of stitches and the width of the hem in every garment but also

(D) its suppliers’ operations, dictating not only the number of stitches and the width of the hem in every garment but also（D）

(E) their suppliers’ operations, dictating the number of stitches, the width of the hem in every garment, and

我理解chain这里不是直译的连锁的意思，而是连锁机构的意思,类似大商业集团。Longman的解释:

a number of shops, hotels, cinemas etc owned or managed by the same company or person
chain of
a chain of restaurants

而且，语法上To ensure consistently high quality in its merchandise的its已经要求了后面的单数。

right

absolutely right

The 名词1 + of + 名词2 + 定语从句 + 主句谓语动词
名词1为核心词，主句谓语动词与名词1保持一致

名词1 of 名词2 + that verb
先用逻辑关系判断出that引导的定语从句修饰名词1还是名词2，再判断动词形式

(only/but) one of 复数名词 + that verb（复数）
the (only) one of 复数名词 + that verb（单数）

数词 + 单位词复数 + of + 不可数名词/物质名词 + verb（复数）
例如：several million tons of stone were quarried...

par of/most of/all of/some of/分数或百分数 of/the rest of 名词做主语时，谓语动词由of后的名词决定
a body of/a collection of/an array of/a series of/a set of/a portion of/a group of + 复数名词，谓语动词用单数

a total of + 名词复数，谓语动词用复数
the number of + 名词复数，谓语动词用单数；a number of + 名词复数，谓语动词用复数
the average of + 名词复数，谓语动词用单数；an average of + 名词复数，谓语动词用复数
