73. Combining enormous physical strength with higher intelligence, the Neanderthals appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path, but their relatively sudden disappearance during the Paleolithic era indicates that an inability to adapt to some environmental change led to their extinction. (A) appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path, (B) appear to have been equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their path, (C) appear as equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their paths, (D) appeared as equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their paths, (E) appeared to have been equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path,
之前有很多帖子讨论过这道题,但是对于不定式的时态问题还是有点不明白 我理解OG解释说的应该用过去时,但是A选项中的equipped不是已经是过去式了么? 而B选项中的to have been euipped不是现在完成时么?不定式中的过去时应该怎么表达呢? 急切盼望大家的解答啊~
to have done 是一种固定用法,表示将to后的时态往前推,发生在过去(似乎没有to后加had done的) 而ACD选项中的equipped跟在as之后,表示的被动(或者当成adj),并不是过去时 因为N这种人disappeared了,所以他们只是过去具备这种能力,因此用 appear to have been equipped
思路: A: appear to do/be是固定搭配,看起来像 ;equipped to do 是正确的, equipped for doing不符合习惯;
B: bingo ; appear 和indicates 时态一致,表达一般事实
C:appear as 不符合习惯;paths 应该改为path ,尽管每一个Neanderthals个体可以由着不同的道路 ,但是这里是关于Neanderthals作为一个种族所特有的单一的进化路线
D: appeared 和indicates不平行,appear 指出的是一个事实,一个evidence不需要用过去时,不可能翻译成N过去似乎有能力去面对困难;paths 应该改为path , 尽管每一个Neanderthals个体可以由着不同的道路 ,但是这里是关于Neanderthals作为一个种族所特有的单一的进化路线
E : appeared 和indicates不平行;; be equipped to do 是习惯用语
Appear as = show up as 揭露,露出 appear to do/appear to have been看起来像 句子结构Neanderthals appear…….,but their disappearance indicates……这样比较清晰 N似乎有能力,,,,他们的消失表明 总结:应尽量保证主句与其对应句的主谓宾对位。===>其中也涉及主语位置代词对位指代的问题。 句子大平行,其中也涉及到判断时态的问题;而且大平行,最好连介宾成分都是平行的。
