19.A pioneer journalist, Nellie Bly's exploits included circling the globe faster than Jules Verne's fictional Phileas Fogg.(B)
A. A pioneer journalist, Nellie Bly's exploits included
B. The exploits of Nellie Bly, a pioneer journalist, included
C. Nellie Bly was a pioneer journalist including in her exploits the
D. Included in the pioneer journalist Nellie Bly's exploits are
E. The pioneer journalist's exploits of Nellie Bly included
这里答案是B,但是a pioneer journalist修饰的是NB,看前辈们的讨论说这是manhattan上的名词就近修饰原则,可是manhattan上面还有说of短语修饰前面的名词。=,整个代词是指of借此短语的所有内容,这如何解释呢,希望来一枚NN,谢谢!
1)a pioneer journalist,这属于同位语,不过也可以分解成victor的那个定语从句
2)出现B Of A的结构,后面接的非限定性从句,既可以对B,也可以对A进行修饰,但前提是逻辑意义上没问题。例如本题中的exploit属于物,而NB属于人,非限定性从句所修饰的为人,那么往前再怎么修饰也只能是对NB的限定修饰。
3)作同位语的话,对前面的部分就近修饰;所以无论从非限定性定语从句,还是从同位语从句都是对NB的修饰
4)如果B of A这种结构,可以修饰到B的话,在PREP中属于跳跃修饰(符合逻辑意义才可以跳跃),在GMAT出现的也不少,以in的介词结构和of的结构中出现的居多。
同位语解释的是整个名词,不是名词短语中某个词,故同位语不是核心修饰:
In 1713, Alexander Pope began his translation of the Iliad, a work that took him seven years to complete and that literary critic Samuel Johnson, Pope's contemporary, pronounced the greatest translation in any language. Work修饰的是his translation of the lliad, 而不是lliad
