关于指代的问题，已经折磨我很久了…………希望牛人花半分钟帮忙解决一下……

The attorney argued that students who were denied the use of school facilities for political activities had lost their right of free assembly

后面的解释说their 可以指代students, 也可以指代facilities,还可以指代activities。为什么啊？who were denied……activities 这个不是修饰students吗？也就是说主语是students咯？那么后面的lost their…毫无疑问their是指带students啊！！！

归纳起来，是不是前面有很多复数的词，后面如果出现一个their永远都是指代不清啊？？

不是NN。

把原题和出处贴一下。

我觉得their指代没问题，肯定指代students，因为facilities和activities都是物啊，怎么会有right，不合逻辑啊。

我记得好像og里说过，代词和它所修饰的东西被隔开很远的话会引起指代不清，因为很可能指代它们中间的名词。

lz最好把题目贴出来，好比较下啊

前面复数名词太多，代词不知道指代谁，所以排除

出处是 Manhattan Review第55页。

原文如下

Pronoun reference errors occur when ambiguity exists as to the antecedent of the pronoun. Additionally, the pronouns must clearly refer to only one antecedent. The sentence must leave no doubt in the reader’s mind as to what the pronoun refers. Sentences with multiple nouns are a classic signal of a pronoun reference error.

The attorney argued that students who were denied the use of school facilities for political activities had lost their right of free assembly.

In the above sentence, the writer does not make clear to what their refers. It could refer to students, facilities or activities. The sentence must be constructed so that the reader has no doubt about the antecedent of the pronoun their:

The attorney argued that students lost their right of free assembly when they were denied the use of school facilities for

political activities.

希望各位牛人抽空解释一下我的疑惑……

看答案给的正确句子，和这位MM说的一样！学习了！！

但告诉楼主，代词指代是非常难的，做题时，最好避开（除了单复数错误等一下子看出来的），靠其他语法点比较可靠

说错了。。。是个男生。。。看头像以为是MM了，抱歉！
