对OG12TH 79的一个新的问题的求解！求NN门解答

DUKB24

Defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their
clients’ misconduct stemmed from a reaction to
something ingested, but in attributing criminal or
delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the
perpetrators are in effect told that they are not
responsible for their actions.
(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to
some food allergy,
(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to
an allergy to some food,
(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal or
delinquent to an allergy to some food,
(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of
criminal or delinquent behavior,
(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause of
criminal or delinquent behavior,

这里根据逻辑意思排除掉剩下B和D了，然后根据attribute的用法就坚决的排掉D了，不知道大家有没有注意一个问题，就是原句，即A选项中是写some food allergy，而B选项中写的是an allergy to some food，D中这个部分是和A一样的，是不是可以这样理解，some food allergy造成了歧义，到底是some food 的allergy（对于一些食物的过敏呢）还是some     的food allergy（一些食物过敏的症状呢），。。。个人觉得这样比用法排除更好一点，因为用法这东西时刻都有争论神马的，支持的就顶一下，也求专家拍砖！

DUKB24

a reaction to something ingested = an allergy to some food

这个平行才是完美的

ls把我的考古贴挖出来了= =

我觉得平行也是问题

容我回去用电脑解释

顶一下，manhattan真的是神器，CD也是神器！刚才在纠结some allergy food和an allergy to some food的问题，看到上面两位说的又回去翻一下manhattan，引用一下原文：
MANHATTAN CHAPTER 11   P211-don't make it too short
"too short" pattern 1: keep the prepositional phrase if you need to

In many cases when we have one noun modified by a prepositional phrase, we can turn the phrase into a Noun-Adjective and put it in front of the first noun, thus shortening the whole expression.
...

This process works the best when the preposition is of. However, if the preposition IS NOT OF, then you should avoid collapsing the prepositional phrase.

在后面的举例中，像 from, to ,in 这种介词都是不省会better。

PS.突然发现楼主成为版主啦~恭喜一下（虽然也不知道楼主能不能看到就是了。。。

支持一下，根据manhattan语法似乎只有是介词of适用于改写，就是an allergy of some food= some food allergy.其他的介词如果这样改是不行的~
