It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range.
OG 237 It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range. (A) may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other (B) may be caused by the interaction between two stars that each orbit the other (C) are because of the interaction between two stars that orbit each other (D) are caused by the interaction of two stars where each is orbiting the other (E) are caused by the interaction of two stars orbiting each other 答案是E ,我选的D, 我想问一下这里的where用错了么?where从逻辑上推可不可以知道interaction?因为我觉得原句的意思主要是用从句来修饰interaction, 如果是E的话,从句就用来修饰stars了。请nn们给解释一下D的语法错误在哪里?
LS解释不准确,where的先行词可以是抽象名词,但从本句句子逻辑结构上看,从句each is orbiting the other不缺地点状语,所以不能用where来引导定语从句。而且时态没必要是进行时态。 从句子意思看E选项 orbiting each other 作定语修饰two stars 是比较符合逻辑的。
我这里恰好有个例句: What he likes best about painting is its contrast to opera, where the challenge is to use one's talents to bring to life the works of others. 这句中,where指代了 opera, 而opera 不是一个表示实实在在地点的名词。但这里where 用的最恰当。
还有个句子。 Now the tide appears to be turning. As personal iujury claims continue as before, some courts are beginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn't have changed anything. 这句话中,我觉得除了where 外,没有其他词可以指代cases 了。
