To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
OG13 #52 To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long, before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home,
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,
这题中的A,B选项,OG的解释是:A To Josephine Baker... her is redundant and awkward; the subject of the first main clause is Paris rather than Baker.
B For Josephine Baker... her is redundant and awkward; putting two introductory elements together before the main clause is awkward.
我对OG解释的理解是,这里的her指JB's,A选项可以改写成:To Josephine Baker, Paris was Josephine Baker's home...这就是明显的redundant.
我的问题是,选项C,D中Josephine Baker made Paris her home,这里的her有没有冗余?
Correct: Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
个人理解,这里的it was fashionable to be an expatriate 是it 引导的形式主语句子,如果一开始就来逻辑对应,将it 看成与paris的对应,那就错了,所以,A和E都杀掉,B中it暗指是JB,杀掉。
我就是第一个就杀掉了正确答案,将it看成应该和paris对应的逻辑关系,而忽视了句子的意思。
