语法真题第二轮次

The contractor and the engineer agree on the cause of the bridge failure, but both blame the other.

both blame the other

each blames the other

each blame the other person

both are blaming the other

each blames one another

答案不知道是什么, 我选E, 大家的意见如何? 可以讲讲原因吗,  我就是凭感觉.

我选B。

one another是"each other"的意思，让E看起来很怪。

我也选Ｂ．

both是说两者都，而each强调的是个体．这个地方应该是说两个人中的每个人（个体）都怀疑另一个人．所以排除both的选项．

Ｃ没有Ｂ简洁．Ｅ中表达错误．

b,og中好象有过类型题

楼上兄弟记错了吧, OG里面刚好指出each +verb+other的错误:

237. It seems likely that a number of astronomical phenomena, such as the formation of planetary nebulas, may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other at close range.

(A)  may be caused by the interaction where two stars orbit each other

(B)  may be caused by the interaction between two stars that each orbit the other

(C)  are because of the interaction between two stars that orbit each other

(D)  are caused by the interaction of two stars where each is orbiting the other

(E)   are caused by the interaction of two stars orbiting each other

Choice E, the best answer, avoids redundancy by using are rather than may be, employs the idiomatic phrase the inter­action of, and expresses the relationship between the stars in a clear, concise way--two stars orbiting each other. In A and B, the use of may be is redundant because the beginning phrase It seems likely that has already established a degree of uncertainty. In A, the phrase the interaction where two stars orbit each other is imprecise and illogical, suggesting that the interaction is a place where the orbiting occurs. In B, the phrase two stars that each orbit the other is both awkward and needlessly wordy. Choice C can be faulted because to form a passive construction, are should take a verb form such as caused rather than an adverb such as because. Also, the phrase two stars that orbit each other illogically suggests that there are two particular stars causing all the phenomena in question, rather than various sets of stars in various loca­tions. In D, the word where has no clear or logical referent, and each is orbiting the other is awkward and unnecessarily wordy; it could be replaced by the clearer and more concise orbiting each other.

我还是坚持E.

支持E. one another, each other.

each, the other 好像不对吧？

Xandria兄弟，og237说的是在出现orbit each other的选项的时候，它比each orbit the other简练。而且two stars that each orbits the other又说不出来的不爽。但是，这并不能推出，each+v.+the other不好的结论。每道题都有自己特殊的情况，语法并不是解体的关键(ETS说的)。

关于B，好像是正确的吧，看大全718

718.The complex tax dispute between the Covered Bridge Mall and Harris Township is not likely to be adjudicated for several years, and, in the meantime, both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other.
(A) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other
(B) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for each other
(C) each side is intent on creating difficulties for the other
(D) each side is intent on creating difficulties for one another
(E) the sides are both intent on creating difficulties for each other

但是上面的题目each是作为形容词吧, each+N., 可是我帖出的题目each是代词, 我觉得有不同, OG说的清楚, each other分开不好, 但是不确定, 大家继续讨论.

爱无伤

我觉得E不对，单作为一个句子的话，"each blames each other(one another)"是不对的，主语不应该是each,因为each other本来就"used to show that each of two or more people does something to the other or others "，用each怎么能表示two or more people?

再说B，"each blames the other",这里并不是说把each other分开了，each和the other都是代词，一个指代一方，一个指代另一方。

Longman上有一个例句She took it for granted that each knew who the other was.

菜鸟意见，望指正!

楼上MM的例子和这题应该不是一种情况把, each+定语从句, the other在从句中, 和each关系不大, 我觉得OG里面的例子说的挺清楚的.
