Prep08-213求助

Shoppers in sporting goods stores, unlike those in department stores, do very little impulse shoppinig; someone who comes in for a basketball will leave with a basketball only and not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang as well.

对于这句话的解释是：And…as well在此并不重复， as well修饰的是and后面的谓语动词buy。


为什么as well在此处修饰'buy“就不与and重复了呢？还是and...as well是一种短语用法，无论何时两个都不重复


谢谢～～～～

楼主要明白redundancy 一般是一个词语或这词组意思相同且功能相同的情况下一同出现在句子中，才会被称为重复

曼哈顿的解释用白话来说就是，你这里的and 和 as well 属于不同功能的词。

1/ and 在这里是连词conj 连接两个动作且这俩个动作的发出者都是同一个人： someone...will leave with a basketball only AND (someone...will) not buy a pair of....

2/ as well 这里是个adv modifier 修饰的是AND 后面的那个动词 (will not buy)...as well. 所以功能同连词是不想同的，所不会是redundant 的

楼主加油

While this is a small point (and one that the GMAT probably wouldn't require you to solely rely on to choose a correct answer), it is something that we often misuse when it comes to using proper written English:

I want money and fame: I want these two things equally

I want money as well as fame; I want money and also fame; I want money and fame too: Each of these phrases says- I want money first but I would also like fame

It's a matter of priorities and where the emphasis is placed in a list of items. "And" puts things on equal footing.

Now let's look at the meaning in D:

Someone (who comes in for a basketball) will:
(1) leave with a basketball only
and
(2) not buy a pair of skis and a boomerang.

The emphasis in this sentence is not that someone who comes in for a basketball should not be allowed to buy skis or a boomerang, but that when they leave with a basketball, they are "not also buying a pair of skis and a boomerang"

Since you could plug in "also" into the second parallel element, "as well" should also be able to work.
