大全455 C项but whose这样的形式对吗？

1.        Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again

(B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again（C）

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

答案是C项，但是一看but whose...这个结构就觉得错。原因是：but后面应该跟一个句子，whose从句只是一个成分，不是一个句子，而且我看不出这个but的句子终身略了任何东西，所以认为C语法上是错的。

若我分析有错，请各位达人指明，thx

but 转折连接两个从句.两个从句共用一个主句.如果还原就是:

Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, but the kind of composer whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status.

另外,说but后面不一定非跟句子.

(C) but whose reputation declines after death and never regains its former status

这里but确实是一个转折连词，需要跟句子，而且跟的也确实是句子。whose带的不是一个从句，而是普通的所有格代词加名词，还是相当于名词在整个but 从句中作主语。结构相当于：sb  receives sth whil living, but (his sht) declines after death and never regains its former status. 从后面and后结构也可以看出来这里whose sth是作的主语。

C项最明显的正确在于它是唯一一个有转折连接词的句子，而其他都是句子+句子，没有连接词表明句子关系。

谢谢。

but是连词，连词一定要根句子，若but后加一个成分的话，就必须得还原成句子。就好像not...but...这个but很多时候就是只加名词，但都是可以还原成句子的。

补充一下为什么but+whose 不错。当一个并列连接词连接一个简单句和一个复合句时。可以把复合句的连接词与主句的并列连接词放在一起省略重复成分。这道题的句子如果全部还原应该是并列复合句的两次嵌套，第一次是but连接一个简单句和一个并列复合句，第二次是并列分句中and又连接两个并列的定语从句。不过这只是它的省略原理，实际考试时候不用这么分析，只要知道有两个连接词在一起的用法就可以了。如果需要分析我个人还是倾向于直接把whose做所有格代词作主语，这样比较符合简化后的实际结构。

everything but water  but 确实可以不接句子。He's nothing but a loser. 如果非要把它还原成两个句子也可以，不过没必要。

谢谢！！！
