[讨论]OG-17新疑问

17. Native American burial sites dating back 5,000 years indicate that the residents of Maine at that time were part of a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking people.
                

(A)
            
were part of a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking people
                

(B)
            
had been part of a widespread culture of people who were Algonquian-speaking
                

(C)
                were people who were part of a widespread culture that was Algonquian-speaking

(D)
            
had been people who were part of a widespread culture that was Algonquian-speaking
                

(E)
            
were a people which had been part of a wide­spread, Algonquian-speaking culture

Choice A is best because it correctly uses the simple past tense, the residents... at that time were, and because it is the most concise. In B and D, the replacement of were with the past perfect had been needlessly changes the original meaning by suggesting that the Native Americans had previously ceased to be part of the widespread culture. All of the choices but A are wordy, and in C, D, and E the word people redundantly describes the residents rather than the larger group to which the residents belonged. These choices are also imprecise because they state that the culture, rather than people, spoke the Algonquian language. Choice E displays inconsistent tenses and an error of pronoun reference, people which.

如果people解释为"民族",那么E中"residents ...were a people"这种表述是否正确?

并且这种情况下用which引导定语从句还是用who?

该题所有选项都说"人是文化的一部分(已经讨论了无数遍)",惟独E可能理解为"民族是文化的一部分",貌似更合理.

a of b 结构和 a's b 结构是不同的,

前者A 是名词,B是修饰

后者B 是名词

上面实际是说 residents were part of a culure

以下是引用lbd2006在2007-4-23 3:29:00的发言:

这个我明白,很多讨论的结果就是"residents were part of a culture".

楼上的还没解决我的疑问啊: "residents were a people"这种表述是否正确?

并且这种情况下用which引导定语从句还是用who?

我觉得E的问题不是people,而E的问题有两个:

1。n which be adj.不如 adj. n,用从句是wordy的表达

2。时态也不对。过去完成时比须有过去时与其比较的意思,这里用过去时足以表达意思了。

3。如果有必要用从句的话,people如果表示民族应该用which,人的集合不是人。

不是牛人,我的意见,仅供参考

当时我自己也有楼主这个问题,我自己想的理由是

人虽然不能是文化,但是人可以是part of culture啊

嗯,E的时态确实有问题.并且"某种语言+speaking culture"这种表述也不对.

A与E相比较,就一处"residents are part of a culture"显得不合理,还是A好点.

谢谢啦

omits "of" : residents ... were of a people who
