天山新题20     12

12.Lincoln, discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, knew how to use a good story to generate good will
(A) Lincoln, discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, knew
(B) Discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him, Lincoln knew
(C) Lincoln, discovering the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned in young manhood before him, knew
(D) In young manhood Lincoln discovered the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned before him;
(E) Lincoln, discovered in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler had learned before him, knew
答案:B
B中的has时态是否正确?before him表示时间应当是在Lincoln的行为之前,而且整个句子用过去时态。in young manhood 修饰discover,放在动词与宾语之间似乎也有问题
C中had learned 用过去完成时表示过去的过去,不是更好吗?

GMAT的语法题有一个原则:就是时态尽量保持原来的,当然不对的时候就必须改变。

you are rght,   C should be the right answer,

A, B 无本质区别

C中一个非常严重的问题在于in young manhood和had learned靠得过近,可能被误解为修饰had learned。但其实它应该修饰discovering(主语是LINCOLN)
但B中的has learned我也觉得不是很好。

是啊,

我现在也注意到 C 改变了原意

但 如选 B , 那末 A 又何错?

以下是引用bluestone1在2003-12-1 2:56:00的发言:
但 如选 B , 那末 A 又何错?   

我当时选的也是A,但选B我想可能是主语与谓语放在一起(Lincoln knew)更好一些吧?因为在这里把它们拆开实在没有必要。

过奖,过奖!
这里高手如云,“greatest”实在不敢当啊。

C确实改变了愿意。in young manhood 修饰the Yankee peddler 的行为,错误。
in young manhood 修饰Discovering ;如果把时态改动一下,before him修饰had learned,这样从时态上考虑就更好了:)

此处A是否有修饰歧义,discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him既可以做状语又可以作定语。

seanql GG是说:discovering in young manhood the secret that the Yankee peddler has learned before him既可以做定语往前修饰Lincoln,又可以做状语往后修饰knew吗?也就是说它修饰的对象不确定。
