218. Despite protests from some waste-disposal companies, state health officials have ordered the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be published.
(A) the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be
(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be
(D) seawater measured at popular beaches for levels of bacteria, with their results
(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be measured and the results
In this sentence, English idiom requires one of two paradigms: x ordered y to be z‘ed or x ordered that y be z 'ed. Choice E, the best answer, employs the second of these paradigms. Choice A mixes the two paradigms (levels... to be measured and that the results be published), producing a sentence that lacks parallelism. C and D use neither paradigm and are thus unidiomatic. Also, in D, the pronoun their has no logical and grammatical antecedent. Choice B unidiomatically employs the verb should (not in either paradigm); also, the pronoun their does not agree in number with seawater, its most logical antecedent.
发现自己现在到了一个怪圈。比如说218,大家不理解的是BE动词的省略,而我不理解的是为什么OG说C and D use neither paradigm and are thus unidiomatic?可以给解释一下吗?
OG也说了,有两个表达方式:x ordered y to be z’ed or x ordered that y be z’ed.答案C虽然表达是不对,但是为什么不可以把the meansure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results看作Y部分呢?
谢谢
