(E) company's announcement included cutting its workforce--which is more than 2,000 jobs--and expecting there to be a reported
答案是A

为什么第一个句子announced与 reported 并列却不与surpassed 并列？不会有语法上的歧义吗？
为什么第二个句子expected与would cut 并列却不与announced 并列？不会有语法上的歧义吗？

company announced that it would cut 10 percent of its workforce--more than 2,000 jobs--and expected to report a loss in its third quarter.

it指代campany，无论将expect和announce并列，还是与cut并列，从先行词来看，都过得去。

考虑下面两种说法：

1）我宣布，我期望望赢得比赛；
2）我期望赢得比赛

我觉得第二种更合理一些。

NN版主，这个expected应该不能和cut并列啊，因为would后面是要加原形的
             如果是和anounced并列，那么C写为两个句子并列应该也可以吧，it在前文中有体现是指代company，所以C是错在cutting吗？？

umm...看着是两个从句并列，但有时可能会放在同一个从句里面更加合理，所以就分出了一下两种情况：
1. 如果宾语从句里面包括了一系列动作，都是有前后承接顺序关系的，那么就让那几个动词同处于一个that后面。
2. 如果那些动作并没有顺序关系，那么说明应该分处不同的从句，那么从句并列的时候就应该补出that。

不过一开始的话，单纯以DIS童鞋说的来判断，正确率也是八九不离十的。

斑斑，又有一个疑问。。
我做题的时候怎么区分你说的是不是前后动作有顺序？只是一前一后才是有顺序吗(A and then B)？还是什么导致什么也算（A and therefore B）？
一定要看到这条留言呀。。周五就考试了

umm..你的思路反了，应该是根据逻辑意思来判断是否有前后动作，而不是根据"(A and then B),(A and therefore B)"来判断先后顺序。根据cr或者awa里面的找错观点，a and therefore b不一定是前后发生的，不过a and then b是前后发生，a and then b只是前后发生的一种表征，一种表达方式。

恩~解释得很清楚~多谢斑斑~

expect与announce两个动作冲突(或者可以说overlap)了，所以expect不会是announce引导的宾语从句里面的内容，也即不会与would cut并列。

-- by 会员 aeoluseros (2010/1/25 11:24:25)

斑斑，我刚才看到DIS的说法也觉得很有道理。请问要真的在句一中是从句并列是不是也该是不出that.所以不存在并列呢？

还是完全从逻辑角度理解？
