The widely accepted big bang theory holds that the universe began in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding ever since.
先谢过大家啦,我在把曼哈顿相关章节看完后做练习,OG13的第10题的 D, E 选项解释不是很理解……
D. the beginning of the universe to have been…… 解释说begnning 是修饰的expanding, 是从哪里看出来的呢? to have been 有错吗?
E. to have begun 和 has been expanding 解释都是修饰 universe, 所以他们是平行结构,这个理解。 但原文确实是用的 and 来连接平行的,是哪里有问题呢?
好的!
The widely accepted big bang theory holds that the universe began in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding ever since.
(A) that the universe began in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding
(B) that the universe had begun in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and had been expanding
(C) that the beginning of the universe was an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago that has expanded
(D) the beginning of the universe to have been an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago that is expanding
(E) the universe to have begun in an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago and has been expanding
谢谢~
关于E选项,OG给的解释是
The verb phrases '' to have begun '' and '' has been expanding '' both reference the same subject of the clause, '' universe '', and therefor need to be parallel.
但是E原句里面有 and,所以我不清楚他说的 parallel 那里有问题……

啊,我明白了~……
可以帮忙解释一下选项一直有提到的 the universe to have begun 吗?
不是很懂这个用 ...
你误解了OG对E选项的解释,OG是想说have begun 和 has been expanding指的都是universe ,所以应该是have begun 和has been expanding 的并列。而E选项中,错误的取消了从句使得has been expanding 的主语变成了big bang theory ,全句的意思就错了,所以不能选E。
