大全173，时态问题

173.Being a United States citizen since 1988 and born in Calcutta in 1940, author Bharati Mukherjee has lived in England and Canada, and first came to the United States in 1961 to study at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

(A) Being a United States citizen since 1988 and born in Calcutta in 1940, author Bharati Mukherjee has

(B) Having been a United States citizen since 1988, she was born in Calcutta in 1940; author Bharati Mukherjee

(C) Born in Calcutta in 1940, author Bharati Mukherjee became a United States citizen in 1988; she has

(D) Being born in Calcutta in 1940 and having been a United States citizen since 1988, author Bharati Mukherjee（C）

(E) Having been born in Calcutta in 1940 and being a United States citizen since 1988, author Bharati Mukherjee

答案C的has时态是否有问题？我觉的是用一般过去时，第一下就把它排除了。since看到要用完成时，所以我觉得She has been a United States citizen since 1988,这个表述比较好。虽然知道being born是错误的表达，无奈之下只好选了D。

请多多指教！

成为公民是瞬间的事件，不是一个渐变的过程，所以became比having been好

OG261

C is best. The first clause presents its information clearly and in logical sequence. The use of a semicolon to set apart the remaining information further assists the clarity of the sentence. In A, the phrase Being... and born violates parallelism and oddly presents its information in reverse chronological order. Choice B illogically suggests that upon her birth in 1940, Mukherjee had already been a United States citizen since 1988. In D and E, the use of progressive forms (Being born, having been. Having been born, and being) implies continuous action, a notion that is not appropriate to the facts being presented. Also, these forms do not establish a logical time sequence, suggesting, for example, that Mukherjee had been a United States citizen before she lived in England and Canada and first came to the United States.

我是指，C）选项中；she has lived in England and Canada的完成时有问题ing？

请再帮忙看看！谢谢！

C中最后部分的时态有三种表达方式：

sb lived in England - 表达此人曾经在英国住过，但现在情况不知道；

sb has lived in England - 表达此人曾经在英国住过，但现在不在英国住；

sb has been in England - 表达此人一直在英国住，至今。

石头哥哥：

现在完成时是过去的动作，一直持续到现在，对现在影响。

sb has lived in England - 表达此人曾经在英国住过，但现在不在英国住；

sb has been in England - 表达此人一直在英国住，至今。

live 和be都可以是表示一个持续的动作，所以这个解释还是有待商榷ing

Google 来的例句，能有助于理解has lived。

Always eager for adventure, she has traveled in Brazil and Canada, and has lived
            in England, France, Iran, Uruguay, and the United States

这题我也是横看竖看，觉得没有完美答案。

跟ＬＺ一样，我也觉得Ｃ项的时态不对：she has lived...and first came to...前面　的现在完成时跟后面的一般过去时在时态上不平行，并且句子中也没有体会出这个动作对现在的情况造成了任何影响。而Ｄ项的being born也是比较明显的错误。

结果，本着对自己对ＥＴＳ山规的理解，“时态错的选项必错”，就选成了Ｄ。

了解ＥＴＳ对于不同错误的权重，真是很困难的事情啊．

,and first came to the United States in 1961 to study at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

逗号后这个结构没有主语啊？？
