【PREP08语法笔记纠错】关于夹心修饰（个人观点，望讨论）

GMATBT

以下摘自08语法笔记，08-1第207题-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. 关于夹心修饰 (by aeoluseros)：
所谓歧义修饰，是因为引发了不同的理解，而并不是语法上是否会有不同的修饰，所谓夹心修饰也是这个原则。很多人对“夹心修饰”都有过一个误解，认为S, v-ing, V. + O.结构中，v-ing既可以往前修饰S，也可以往后修饰V就是夹心，而实际上夹心并不是“可以往前修饰S，也可以往后修饰V” 。在S, v-ing, V. + O.这样的表达中，v-ing约定俗成只伴随修饰动词，见下例：
prep 2-104 The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and
altitude, is able to produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
这个句子里depending不能改为dependent，因为depending和dependent的区别在于，前者伴随修饰谓语动词is able to produce，后者则是修饰名词single tree，会造成逻辑上不对。用dependent时："依靠于size的一棵树能够长出足够的浆果"。用depending时，“一棵树取决它的size来做到长出足够的浆果”。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




1.我认为此处“在S, v-ing, V. + O.这样的表达中，v-ing约定俗成只伴随修饰动词”是错误的。在此例句中，之所以没有产生夹心歧义是因为，doing在此处对应主系表结构“be able to”是不存在伴随的可能性的。【摘自08笔记（1-188）系动词是一个状态不存在“被伴随”】所以此处的doing只能是对前面的名字“tree”进行修饰。
Prep08-1-188
正确句子：Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from
birth to adulthood, are now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language.
此处无歧义原因同上。


2.当结构是"主，分词，V"的情况下是会产生歧义的。
GWD-1-Q29:
Faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and problems at polling places have been cited by a new study of the 2000
United States presidential election, which estimated that they did not count 4 million to 6 million of the 100 million votes cast.
CORRECT:Citing faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and problems at polling places, a new
study of the 2000 United States presidential election has estimated that 4 million to 6 million of the 100 mi
llion votes cast were not counted.
E. A new study of the 2000 United States presidential election, citing faulty voting equipment, confusing ballots, voter error, and
problems at polling places, has estimated 4 million to 6 million votes had not been counted of the 100 million votes cast.
E、had not been counted过去完成时没有根据；分词位置有歧义（所谓“夹心”，既可以作为定语修饰主语，又可以作为状语修饰后面的谓语）；estimated 后面少that
很多时候的“夹心”是指在主语和谓语之间加入分词修饰。

理由如上


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
个人观点：
夹心歧义本质是：夹在两个成分之间的部分，可同时对前后两个成分进行修饰的歧义。
大致分两种情况：1.N, 成分，N  成分可以同时修饰前后两个名词N
               2.N, 成分，V  成分可以做N的定语或做V的状语
常见的造成歧义歧义的成分有：只要是能修饰名词，或能同时做定语和状语的成分
         特例：1.N，分词，系动词  无歧义
               2.N, 成分，N     当前后两个N表达同一个东西的时候无歧义。（见PREP笔记08-1-190D选项解析）

表示LZ说了好多。。。我看的不是特别懂，但是有一点我可以说一下，不知道能不能帮到LZ~我记得PREP上有一道 ...

时隔多年 我来贴下RON大神的原版回复。
选项：Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

RON:the modifier "...carrying..." seems to signify that the latter traits are only true of minivans when those minivans are actually carrying the requisite number of passengers. if they aren't, then all of a sudden those things aren't true anymore.

这个解释超棒！！！

葱葱爱豹子头

楼主这样理解的话岂不是和prep的笔记所说的相反？?因为笔记里面还是说depending on its size...是作状语，往后修饰动词is able to；但楼主的意思是be动词不能“被伴随”，因此depending on...应该是往前修饰single tree.
唔……感觉都很有道理?不过无论怎么理解这句话都是只修饰一个成分，所以不存在歧义?

解释的好牛！！好清楚！！！！

我觉得楼主讲得很对啊，之前看别的帖子总结的V-ing放句中的，都是说只能做noun modifier，而且主句谓语必须是BE
当时就搞不懂为什么，原来是那种主系表结构的句子里插入V-ing形式是不能做状语的，就保证了只修饰主句主语那个名词~~~
不存在夹心修饰~~~
终于弄明白~~~~~~~~
