主要讨论B与D,本题的考察点与疑惑点, 第一,the world’s smallest network,虽然说所有格仅仅表of,但是world’s XX 实在用的很多不知能否作为排除点来用; 第二,D中的what it claims is …没有问题,是属于嵌入式关系分句的用法,同时词汇用法的角度来说,claim to be 的确有这样的用法,或者也可以用 claim sth as(it claims what is…是不是有问题?没有as); 第三,B中的which是否能够跨越in the world,或许有歧义,因为从语义上讲,实在不存在任何歧义直接跨越,而从语法上面讲确实in the world 并非决定camcorder性质的后置定语(而是状语),所以不能够跨越; 第四,从语义上面来讲,是最小的camcorder,应该是更多的指尺寸呢还是尺寸与重量同时强调呢,如果是前者,weighing或许更好(也有风险,有涉及到了另外一个复杂问题,有没有“,Ving”作为非限制性定语来修饰computer的问题了),而如果是后者则D就是更好了。 |
