For many people, household labor remain demanding (even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle.)
C. even if they can afford household appliances their grandparents would have found miraculous
这是正确答案。感觉they的指代很奇怪,从意思上说一定是指people,但是从语法上说我觉得应该是指labor。 另外想借这题讨论一下代词的指代,记得新东方说过代词不一定是就近指代,并列句中从句代词应优先指代主句的主语。所以我觉得they是指labor. 还有一种说法是一个句子如果出现两个代词应指同一东西(有这种说法么)那么their parents的their 和第一个they就应该指代同一个东西。这样可以判断出答案,是这样么? 最后摆脱那位大虾分析一下句子的结构,最后的their garndparents......是做什么成分,修饰什么的?
再来一道题:
Margaret Courtney-Clarke has traveled to remote dwelling in the Transvaal to photopragh the art of Ndebele women, (whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography and in a style that varies from woman to woman and house to house.)
这就是答案。their后面引导的是独立主格结构。和whose从句并列,所以their是修饰mural的,是这么理解么? |
