12.   Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.

(A) Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only句子不紧凑，不是独立的两句，而是主从关系

(B) In 1905, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed句子不紧凑，不是独立的两句，而是主从关系

(C) In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

(D) Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed句子不紧凑，不是独立的/时态错（C）

(E) Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves onlyarming逻辑主语错

Choices A and B are wordy and imprecise: the phrasing suggests that Bartok and Kodaly were already traveling the back roads of Hungary when they began their pioneering work, not that they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work. (？？？)Moreover, and suggests in both cases that they were armed with a phonograph in addition to being on the road, rather than while they were on the road, (两个分句说明两个动词是独立的，而不是同时发生的)and only in B is misplaced before the verb armed. (only的位置)Choice C is correct. In choice D, Having traveled… suggests that the two had finished traveling before they began their work in ethnomusicology, (时态错，导致意思错)and only is again misplaced. Choice E is wordy and awkwardly constructed. (笨拙)The question is a little easier than the average.

1.the phrasing suggests that Bartok and Kodaly were already traveling the back roads of Hungary when they began their pioneering work, not that they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work. (？？？)

OG的解释是什么意思啊

2 答案C中 traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

armed前要加个and吧 不然会有修饰Hungary的嫌疑

谢谢

1.the phrasing suggests that Bartok and Kodaly were already traveling the back roads of Hungary when they began their pioneering work, not that they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work. (？？？)

OG的解释是什么意思啊 ETS强调了两个动作的关系，traveled和began这两个动作的关系应该是began和traveled同时发生而不是前后

2 答案C中 traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

armed前要加个and吧 不然会有修饰Hungary的嫌疑 我赞成这个看法，至少有and会使句子结构更为清楚，但是，对于这种没有and的结构我们还可以有一种解释，那就是现分和过分修饰是不同层次的修饰，而不是平行修饰，类似结构在分词和定从同时修饰时比较多见，而在多个分词结构中比较少见，但思路应该是相似的。

stoneren:谢谢你 还是你帮助我回答的问题

1 用分词是强调伴随啊 这不是在以前的讨论中刚刚确定的吗 无论分词在前在后 例如选项C 就是分词在后啊

为何OG又做这样的解释  真晕啊

2 那就是现分和过分修饰是不同层次的修饰，而不是平行修饰，

我不懂是如何不同层次的修饰 因为我原先认为是travling /armed 平行修饰began

谢谢

谢谢stoneren. 你的解释我大部分都理解了

只是有一项

In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

C的用法是如何会体现出

they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work.

谢谢

现在分词位于句末或句首，前后有“，”将其与主句隔开，则现在分词优先做主句谓语的伴随状语，伴随动作方式，动作本身以及动作结果。

我觉得这里可以把分词结构traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only看成是began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology的结果。也就是说traveling...的目的是为了began...

leeon:你这是从OG的解释反推的吗

In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

从句意来读 是作为伴随方式才对 因为traveling的动作发起者是Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály  不是前面的整个句子 另外从句意读 也读不出前后的因果关系

再问一次

只是有一项

In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only

C的用法是如何会体现出

they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work.

谢谢

我想OG强调的重点不是"they traveled the back roads in order to conduct such work"，而是"the phrasing suggests that Bartok and Kodaly were already traveling the back roads of Hungary when they began their pioneering work."

分词短语多用来表示方式，结果，伴随的意思，很少有表示原因和目的。(没有印证过，只是感觉。)

这道题给我的感觉是，OG似乎认为，分词在句首似乎是表方式，如OG里doppler和fetal heartbeat那题，在句尾表结果或伴随，如OG里setting free 500个奴隶那题和本题。

这里travelling放在句首好像是方式，所以OG说travelling动作先发生。如果要放在句尾。如果一定要理解这个原因和目的的含义，还是要从伴随这个角度去理解。

不错，我是读了从OG的解释推出的，我觉得OG的解释是说的通的，BB and ZK为什么要 traveling ...不就是为了开始他们的开创性的工作吗。反过来说也就是他们为了开始这个工作，才traveling ...的。
