OG 35 -- which sold for $$, 用法对吗？

motorola00 · 发表于 2003-12-13 23:43:00

35. In June of 1987, The Bridge of Trinquetaille, Vincent van Gogh’s view of an iron bridge over the Rhone sold for $20.2 million and it was the second highest price ever paid for a painting at auction.
(A) Rhone sold for $20.2 million and it was
(B) Rhone, which sold for $20.2 million, was
(C) Rhone, was sold for $20.2 million,
(D) Rhone was sold for $20.2 million, being
(E) Rhone, sold for $20.2 million, and was

I know B is wrong, but is the expression " which sold for .." right? Can the "is" between " which" and "sold" omitted?

which sold for $$这种用法错误。
sell有两种用法：
sell做不及物动词：Sth sells well.
sell做及物动词：Sth is sold for ……dollars.
which sold for $$这里sell 做及物动词，根据时态中间必须加was.：）
请再指教！

有个疑问
，那这句话要是改成rhone, which was sold for $20.2 million, was
也是对的了?它到底是要强调was sold for $20.2 million?还是the second highest price 啊?

要是这样语法上是没错的。。。

“有个疑问

这样不对，因为原句的主干是：the bridge of trinquetaille（这一幅油画）was sold for $20.2 million。
vincent van gogh’s view of an iron bridge over the rhone 做同位语修饰the bridge of trinquetaille，the second highest price ever paid for a painting at auction做同位语修饰$20.2 million.

若改成rhone, which was sold for $20.2 million, was……，就变成了the bridge of trinquetaille was the second highest price, 意思完全改变。而且which就近指代the rhone 。
我是说sell 的两种习语，词句中用which was sold for $$不仅无必要，造成修饰错误，而且也造成全句的逻辑错误。特此修正！：）

这里的NN说sell for 主语可以是物

I copied nn's explanation here

buddyk:

我查了LDOCE和COLLINS，

用法应该是正确的，但是我觉得意思不一样吧。

sth sell for/at $1，是“以$1的价格出售”的意思；

sth was sold for $1，是“卖了$1”的意思。

所以二者的含义还是有比较大的区别的吧，体会一下：）

OG上的解释就是这个意思啦！ Choices B produce the illogical statement that the painting was the second highest price.

the second highest price. 的主语变成the bridge of trinquetaille（这一幅油画），逻辑意思上是讲不通的
