In virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism’s trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it.
(A) trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it
(B) trying that it metabolize, or render harmless, the. chemical irritant
(C) attempt to try to metabolize, or render harmless, such a chemical irritant
(D) attempt to try and metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritating it(E)
(E) attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant
Although an “-ing” verb such as trying can sometimes be used as a noun, the phrase the organism’s trying to metabolize in A is unidiomatic because trying is used as the object of organism’s. In B, trying that it metabolize is ungrammatical. The noun attempt could follow organism’s; also, it would parallel the noun enzymes, and parallelism is needed here because the sentence uses the linking verb are to equate enzymes and attempt. In C and D, however, attempt to try is redundant. Choice E, which says attempt to metabolize, is best. The phrase the chemical irritant is also the most concise and precise conclusion for the sentence because it clearly refers to the dioxin mentioned earlier.
尽管前面已经有很多解释了,但对E选项中In virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism’s attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant 的关系不是很理解
1)主句是dioxin induces the production?
2)that are the organism's attempt to metabolize, or render harmless是定语从句修饰enzymes,其中metabolize和render用or并列(但总感觉harmless后面似乎没有说完??)
3)the chemical irritant作enzymes的同位语?
4)还有一种看法是render后有双宾,即render the chemical irritant harmless,而the chemical irritant指代前面的enzymes?
这样解释对吗?请牛牛帮确认一下 |
