Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete one day may be partners the next.

大家对这道题一定都很熟,说下自己的2点看法,我是支持A的: 1、很多人more established industries有歧义,那请问more修饰established是什么意思呢?这里的more应该只能修饰industries吧 2、 as companies that compete我觉得比competing companies更好,A中表达是:公司日后能成为伙伴,什么样的公司呢?that引导一个限制性定从,那些one day还在竞争的公司。而B完全表达不出来这层含义,割裂了one day 和compete 的关系。 我记得prep语法笔记里无数次提到定语从句做定语与现在分词做定语的区别,有一点是:定语从句强调有一个具体的发生时间,而现在分词则强调一个经常的状况,这里的one day不是很明显的一个具体时间吗?可能有人会说这些公司以前竞争以后也继续有可能会竞争,但是这道题表达的意思明显没有考虑那么遥远,说的就是过去one day竞争的公司,未来怎样不关心。
有一个疑问哦 我觉得whereas引导结构只要核心词平行就可以啦 e.g OG12-131 Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany. 所以whereas在这里应该不存在问题
应该不是这样,我觉得跟 one day 还有the next 有关系的吧,competing的话,感觉就是公司本身的性质了,而这里用了 one day,后面又用了 the next,这里的one day 其实是(过去)某一天的含义,另外如果用了 competing company的话,后面跟one day 怎么解释呢?过去某一天竞争的公司 下一步变成了合作者,不太合逻辑吧,再者如果把one day 理解成将来某一天的话,the next 不会多余吗?最后这道题答案是A吧,哪里说是B了?
