By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
D选项中OG的解释是:The correct pronoun for time is when. 但是Manhattan的解释是:The pronoun when can be used to modify a noun event or time, such as period, age, 1987, or decade. In these circumstances, you can also use in which instead of when. 这两个解释为什么自相矛盾?在表示时间的时候,when和in which到底是可以互换?
By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
(A) and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
(B) earning them at a time that aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
(C) earning these at a time where aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
(D) earned at a time in which aviation was still so new such that many of the planes she flew were
(E) earned at a time when aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
我觉得曼哈顿说的有点奇怪,一般语法书上说的时候是说when在表示……经常可以代替in which。不知道他们为什么反过来说。
我觉得反过来说不好,这里at a time.如果用which的话应该是 at a time at which……。
只所以用when替换which,我认为是when的范围我觉得广一些,所以如果说when代替which大多数情况是适用的,(除了不表时间,或者需要更加精确,又或者which有修饰)
对比一下;when可以代替……
the day on which = the day when
所以虽然我我没有看过manhattan出的语法书,但是我总对它有个不好的印象。觉得它不地道,
