以下是引用-Aquarius-在2005-3-30 10:36:00的发言: A of B结构中AB都可以被指代,这个OG里面有例子,而且上面例子中的who是只可以修饰人的,whoes就不一定了。
请看这一句:
159. While depressed property values can hurt some large investors, they are potentially devastating for home-owners, whose equity—in many cases representing a life’s savings—can plunge or even disappear.
(A) they are potentially devastating for homeowners, whose
(B) they can potentially devastate homeowners in that their
(C) for homeowners they are potentially devastating, because their
(D) for homeowners, it is potentially devastating in that their(A)
(E) it can potentially devastate homeowners, whose
OG解释说: The pronoun whose clearly refers to homeowners.....在property values 和investors都是复数的情况下ETS并不认为存在指代歧义. |
