正确答案D.
请问C为什么不对?特别是OG说 “it also distorts meaning and lacks completion.” why it lacks completion? 搜了一下之前的帖子,还是没找到很明白的解释~所以再次提出来请教NN们。
1、Construction "that it is … who have not" is wordy and awkward; 这里的"it is the fault of educators who have not …"并不是强调结构,who从句只是作定语而已,it的指代确实不明确,如果写成"it is educators who …",才能算是强调句;既然连强调句都不是的话,句子层次有点复杂了。 强调结构的语法结构如下: 用强调句型:“It is(was)+被强调的部分+that(who)+原句其它部分”来强调说话人的意愿,被强调的部分为“人”时用who,为“物”时用that。例如: It is only shallow people who judge by appearances. (只有浅薄的人才会以貌取人。)
2、it also distorts meaning and lacks completion. 通过翻译可以看出,(C)强调的是“ [ 特定 ] 教育者的责任”,即强调一个名词短语,(D)强调的是“教育者 [ 在特定方面 ] 有责任”,即强调一种行为,所以说(C)仅仅强调局部概念,意思扭曲且不完整。 (C)翻译:不能说 { 是教育者的责任 [ 那些没有预料到微机技术影响的教育者 ] } (D)翻译:不能说 { 教育者有责任 [ 在没有预料到微机技术影响上 ] }
C. it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology... 我的理解是,后面的who只是educators的修饰成分,那到底what is the fault??? it指代不明...

#4 #5都讲得特别好
补充一句
C: 同一句话中两个it必须指代同一个事物,显然这里不满足, it's the fault of educators who xxx. What it refers to? 所以排除
D: it refers to that educators xxx, bingo!
