请教nn一道语法题...谢谢:)

For many people ,housold  labor ramains demanding even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents  would find a miracle .

A  even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle

B  despite being able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle .

C   even if they can afford household appliances their grandparents would have found miraculous

D   although they could afford household appllances their grandparents would find miraculous

E   even if they are able to afford household appliances which would have been a miracle to their grandparents

    答案是c.....能分析下其他选项吗?

根据意思,able to 的逻辑主语应该是people,而不是household labor,因此为了避免歧义,even if 后面应该补出逻辑主语they.据此可排除A、B。

同时句中有一个对过去事件的虚拟语气,即grandparents 如果见到appliances 会感到miraculous,但事实上没有见到。因此要用would have,据此排除D

而E选项的后半句的表述有点类似被动语态,有点迂回曲折,不如C选项的后半句来得简洁明了,根据主动优先的原则,C更合适。

不知我这样解释是否恰当?

对于这题还有疑问!

C选项中their grandparents would have found miraculous 应该是主句

even if they can afford household appliances 是从句

为什么主句虚拟要用对过去的形式而且从句不用had done呢?

demanding这里应该译成苛求吗?就是说实际上大多数人是不做家务劳动的,所以才有后面的虚拟出现?

their grandparents would have found miraculous是虚拟语气的主句,但even if they can afford household appliances 不是虚拟语气的从句,而是整个大句子的从句。在这里,虚拟语气的从句省略了,如果一定要补上,可以是their grandparents would have found (the appliances) miraculous (if the grandparents had seen the appliances.)

their grandparents would have found miraculous是appliances的定语,还原一下其实是their grandparents would have found household appliances miraculous

不知这样解释可否?

省略从句的虚拟语气表达方式更常见。

自己试译一下,不正之处NN指点吧

对于很多人来说,家务劳动仍然是需要的,即使他们有着那些在他们祖辈的年代看来是奇迹的家用电器
