Innits of the Bering Sea were in isolation from contact with Europeans longer than Aleuts or Inuits of the North Pacific and northern Alaska.
A: in isolation from contact with Eurpoeans longer than
B: isolated from contact with Eurpoeans longer than
C: in isolation from contact with Eurpoeans longer than were
D: isolated from contact with Eurpoeans longer than were
E: in isolation and without contact with Eurpoeans longer than

答案选D，我觉得应该选C的，be isolated from 应该是一个时间点的动作，不能用时间长短来修饰，in isolation from 就是一种状态，就有时间长短了，请各位帮一下我。快考了，十九号啊！

这里能用动词不要用名词形式。

allaneli · 发表于 2003-12-15 01:53:00

be isolated 也可以表示一种状态。

Innits were isolated, 这里表示被动，被广阔的海域或巨大的山脉isolated 了。而in isolation 没有

这意思，我们也许可以误解为Innits自己不愿与别人来往。

但是如果用被动的话句子里面并没有明确的Agent to perform this action, 感觉上用被动不符合ETS以前的解释啊?

请教大家!!!

谢谢!!!

again! 答案是比出来. 我曾不止一次看到过OG里面用被动, 且没有明显的Agent to perform this action.

关键是其他选项没有补出谓词会有歧义, 严重的歧义!!!

actually, isolated is an adjective here. from longman:

isolated adjective

1 an isolated building, village etc is far away from any others
-synonym remote
  small isolated communities
  Not many people visit this isolated spot.
2 feeling alone and unable to meet or speak to other people
  Young mothers often feel isolated.
3 an isolated action, event, example etc happens only once, and is not likely to happen again
isolated incident/case/event
  olice say that last week's protest was an isolated incident

E further distorts the sense of the sentence: because with cannot idiomatically serve as the preposition for in isolation, the sentence suggests that the Bering Sea Inuits were totally isolated.

A: in isolation from contact with Eurpoeans longer than

E: in isolation and without contact with Eurpoeans longer than

我实在体会不出来这两句话有什么玄机啊……………………泪………………

你不这个without加的改变原意吗?

OG的解释The awkward phrasing of E further distorts the sense of the sentence: because with cannot idiomatically serve as the preposition for in isolation, the sentence suggests that the Bering Sea Inuits were totally isolated. 意思就是,with无法跟in isolation搭配,所以E就变成了in isolation和withou contact with Europeans两个独立的短语了,这样就distort了原句的意思,表达成"完全隔绝"和"跟欧洲没有联系"两个意思了.
