同问, 不是一般 ing放在最后的时候会有修饰歧义吗?
例如PREP2 101
101. (29777-!-item-!-188;#058&004380)
The electronics company has unveiled what it claims to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs less than 11 ounces.
(A) to be the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, and it weighs (B) to be the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, weighing (C) is the smallest network digital camcorder in the world, which is as long as a handheld computer, and it weighs (D) is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, which is as long as a handheld computer and weighs (E) is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing
答案是D, B错的原因就是weighing后置修饰有歧义, 可能修饰camcorder,也可能修饰句子主语company, 如果要修饰从句里的camcorder, 需要用连词连接。
那么 (B) that a star as bright as the full moon exploded into view 340,000 years ago, emitting 这里的emitting 按说也有修饰歧义呀!!!! -- by 会员 安静的小兔 (2010/10/3 15:37:47)
首先,我们看LZ的句子。Astronomers have uncovered evidence that a star as bright as the full moon exploded into view 340,000 years ago, emitting... 这里,我们看句子的主语是Astronomers have uncovered evidence。而emitting做为伴随状语修饰a star(那个从句里的主语)
再看你的句子:is the world's smallest network digital camcorder, the length of which is that of a handheld computer, weighing。从逻辑上看weighing是修饰 camcorder 或者computer的。注意,无论是主句里的还是从句里的,这2个全是宾语。
GMAT的语法题里,这种ing表示伴随的,都是由主语发生的动作。 怎么说呢?分词跟着主语走就对了。
也许我说清楚了吧。。大家继续探讨 |
