 还有个问题要求助BABY姐~~~OG 12 87 In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vinThers have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell, and they are.(A) have been priced to sell, and they are (B) are priced to sell, and they have (C) are priced to sell, and they do(CORRECT) (D) are being priced to sell, and have (E) had been priced to sell, and they have C的解释是，Correct. This sentence properly uses they do in place of they do sell, a grammatically correct verb. 1do/did+动词原型表强调的时候，动词原形是可以省略的么？以及，这里的do难道不是像manhattam 里面写的 use helping verbs to stand for longer verbs or verb phrases.也就是不省略的话应该是their wines are priced to sell, and they sell. 么？ 2 还有就是以manhattam里面的例子来看： I have never seen an aardvark, but my father has. 省略的部分补出是my father has seen an aardvark,也就是与前面一个主句的动宾一致，但是本题补出是，their wines are priced to sell, and they do sell. 省略的部分sell并不是前一句的动宾啊。。。Manhattam 的里面倒是也有一句our cars were designed to inspire inspire envy, and they do.但是我还是没法理解省略的部分应该是前面的哪一部分，有什么规律呢？还是只要出现过the exact verb form就可以省略啊。。。。 还望BABY姐解答~~~~ -- by 会员 feathsea8 (2012/4/10 16:46:33)
好问题，老实说我还真不知道怎么从语法角度解释。（呼唤nn）
不过呢，我就用Ron的方法：
you may find that your best course of action is simply to commit the acceptable versions to memory, and then look for sentences that look like them.
that's the entire way we learn language as kids - imitate the "proper" speech of adults - so it may be the best way to go here, too. unless you have a ridiculous memory, it's probably not worthwhile to try to memorize all the "rules" governing subtleties such as this one.
咱先来体会一下这两个句子：
Their wines are priced to sell, and they do.
[The vintners' wines are priced to sell, and the vintners do sell.]
读的时候重读蓝色部分，强调前面的不定式（通常表示intention的含义），再强调后面的do（表示fact），体现出类“如愿以偿”的感觉。发现了吗——强调的部分，也正好是平行结构！
下面这个句子你找得真好，感谢！
Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and they do.
[Our cars were designed to inspire envy, and our cars do inspire envy. ]
那我试着imitate，造几个句子：
The flying machine by the Wright Brothers was designed to fly, and it did.
Apple is missioned to challenge the status quo, and it does.
The Nazi was destined to fall, and it did.
The stock market had been predicted to soar following the release of the March data, and it did.
The crack-down of the commenting functions on Sina's and Tencent's microblogs was intended to quell the Internet spreading of political rumors, and it did. （不讨论事实是否如此哈，我只是造个句子 ）
......
好啦，你也可以brain-storm，造句子。然后考试时遇到类似的句子就可以apply our pattern recognition，这就足够了。 |

楼主
刚刚又总结道一道题，OG 133 正确答案：Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protectingadult sea turtles.
