Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into a special fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.？？？？ (A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves (B) fund, the intention of which is to sustain the state’s economy after they have exhausted their oil reserves (C) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted (D) fund intended to sustain the state’s economy after exhausting its oil reserves (E) fund that they intend to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted 大全73题中intend to 是用来修是fund的，可是就intend 的词义而言，我觉得似乎只能修饰人，fund如何intend? 作者: turtlechen 时间: 2004-1-14 00:35
是的！我相信这是一种精简子句的用法，最近被我看到了！
精减子句 (Elliptical Clauses) 精减子句是文法不完整的子句，因为它们省略了通常用来引导这种子句的关系代名词 (从属字) 或一项比较中第二部分的述语 (predicate)。精减子句中省略的部分可以从上下文中猜测出来，而大多数读者也不知道什么东西不见了。事实上，精减子句被视为一种有用且正确的子句，即使在正式的文章中亦然，因为它们通常是优雅和有力的表达方式。在下面的句子中，被省略的字用括号括起来。 Coach Rodman knew [that] this team would be the best [that] she had coached in recent years. Though [they were] sometimes nervous on the court, her recruits proved to be hard workers. Sometimes the veterans knew the recruits could play better than they [could play].
本句是 Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into a special fund (that Alask) intended to sustain the state’s economy after oil reserves are exhausted
