A is perfectly clear: it conveys the fact that the crests and troughs remain stationary (motionless) even though the air that forms them (i.e. the crests and throughs) is moving rapidly. C corrects the verb error.

E obscures the meaning: it suggests that one might not expect stationary crests and troughs to be formed by rapidly moving air. Nowhere is the original is it suggested that the crests and troughs are what one might not expect to be formed.

The following two sentences differ in meaning in much the same way:

It is surprising that the woman chosen to be the next head of the IMF is a European lawyer.
It is surprising that the next head of the IMF will be a female European lawyer.

求讨论啊！大牛！

我明白了！说的是这个理，一下短路了~~语义！！！

根据句意啊...

你拿到一个句子，首先要看他想说什么，表达方式表述出他想说的没有。


although表转折和对比，A和C表达出来了这个意思，C没有。


C的although 不make sense

首先感谢wxtttt回复。
第一个：

A/C是强调 remain stationary 和 moving rapidly对比
E并没有表达出这种对比。就说了个stationary crests and troughs，然后说although他们是formed by rapidly moving air.

A/C强调对比，一个是stationary VS moving, 为什么要这样？根据什么原则啊？

第二个明白了，O(∩_∩)O谢谢啦！

强调的东西不同


A/C是强调 remain stationary 和 moving rapidly对比
E并没有表达出这种对比。就说了个stationary crests and troughs，然后说although他们是formed by rapidly moving air.


简化一下，你抓主干
A/C: with crests and troughs that remain stationary  although the air that forms them is moving rapidly. (that 是 essential modifer, 不能省）
E: with crests and troughs although they are formed by air


这样看出来了吧


再说下面的例句：
It is surprising that the woman chosen to be the next head of the IMF is a European lawyer.
It is surprising that the next head of the IMF will be a female European lawyer.


第一个suprising的是the woman is a European lawyer.
第二个suprising的时the next head of IMF 是 female European lawyer
