46. A proposal has been made to trim the horns from rhinoceroses to discourage poachers; the question is whether tourists will continue to visit game parks and see rhinoceroses after their horns are trimmed. (A) whether tourists will continue to visit game parks and see rhinoceroses after their horns are (B) whether tourists will continue to visit game parks to see one once the animals' horns are (C) whether tourists will continue to visit game parks to see rhinoceroses once the animals' horns have been (D) if tourists will continue to visit game parks to see rhinoceroses once the animals' horns are (E) if tourists will continue to visit game parks to see one after the animals' horns have been 这题选C是没有问题的,我想问的是假设把B改成 以下这样 (B) whether tourists will continue to visit game parks to see rhinoceroses once the animals' horns are 所以问题就是C中的once the animals' horns have been这个现在完成时的依据是什么呢?又没有特别的时间状语。 我经常在OG上看到这种不明不白的现在完成时。 谁能解释解释啊? -- by 会员 yunduanxw (2011/1/10 22:45:58)
其实完成时是一个冗余的语法元素。中文就没有完成时。 完成时的作用是强调实践的先后顺序,或者延续(其实这也可以被算在 一致性 里)。其实所有的内容都可以通过副词表达出来(中文就是这样的,如:已经,早就***了,正在,一直等等)。 文章中为了强调visitor是否愿意在动物被trim horn之后看表演,所以使用了完成时。但是就算不强调,其实句义也是完整,因为核心内容是visitor是否愿意看没有horn的动物表演。不影响句子,只不过有了完成时会更完美。(不用纠结于此,学过nordic语,你就会发现一致性有多么烦了,所有的东西都要变形) |
