35.According to a panel of health officials, there has been a great deal of confusion in the medical profession about whether obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or a condition more related to appearance than to health.
(A) about whether obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or a condition more related to appearance than to
(B) with respect to obesity being a biological disorder posing serious health risks or if it is related more to appearance than
(C) over whether or not obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or it is a condition more related to appearance than to
(D) about obesity and if it is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or a condition related to appearance more than to
(E) concerning whether obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or it is a condition related to appearance more than
the key:A
A:五个选项全读下来可以理解A正确,但是第一眼会觉得biological disorder和condition 逻辑上不对称(并不是,每个都是这么对应的)
D:疑问点是,是否篡改了句意呢 变成了confusion about obesity 感觉语义上扩大了confusion的范围;而且if在G中只有如果的意思,此处应为whether。所以错?
E:我不觉得concerning错,然后还有我觉得it is 是可有可无,因为去掉也没歧义啦,最重要一点我看到有人讲E错是因为应该是to health,可是我觉得没必要加to啊,因为related to 是idiom,然后比较的不是appearance more than (related to)health,就是我认为这里的related to 是可省略的

35.According to a panel of health officials, there has been a great deal of confusion in the medical profession about whether obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or a condition more related to appearance than to health.
(A) about whether obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or a condition more related to appearance than to (正确,more 修饰related to非常清楚的表示是对比related程度的)
(B) with respect to obesity being a biological disorder posing serious health risks or if it is related more to appearance than (or 前后结构不对称;是否应该用whether而不是if)
(C) over whether or not obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or it is a condition more related to appearance than to (whether or not, or永远错)
(D) about obesity and if it is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or a condition related to appearance more than to (是否应该用whether而不是if)
(E) concerning whether obesity is a biological disorder posing serious health risks or it is a condition related to appearance more than (错误1- 不简洁,it is 我觉得可以省略;错误2,more than导致意思不单一,这里很多这样的错误:既可以理解为-- it (obesity) is a condition related to appearance more than health is a condition related to appearance,也可以理解为it is a condition more related to appreance than related to health;这里需要to health才能避免不歧义)
针对LZ对E选项的理解,这里说一下,首先,concerning肯定是不对,因为这样concerning直接作为定语修饰the medical profession 逻辑意思发生根本错误,另外,more than不对,因为这样用意味着只肯定appearance而否定了health.这样又扭曲了原来的意思,真正原来的意思应该是to appearance 和 to health 都相关,但to appearance更密切些。
