以下是引用jinni在2006-4-11 22:28:00的发言：Elk now live almost solely in the Rocky Mountains, which would make it seem that elk are mountain dwellers, while they once ranged over virtually all of the continental United States except for a small strip in the extreme Southwest.
- Elk now live almost solely in the Rocky Mountains, which would make it seem that elk are mountain dwellers, while
- The fact that elk now live almost solely in the Rocky Mountains would make it seem that they are mountain dwellers, but
- It would seem that elk would be mountain dwellers because of their living now solely almost in the Rocky Mountains, but still
- Now living almost solely in the Rocky Mountains, it would seem that elk were mountain dwellers, although
- It seems that elk would be mountain dwellers from the fact that they now live solely almost in the Rocky Mountains, since
答案给的是A 但是A的which的用法显然不对呀。which没有指代对象呀，这里显然是elk live soley这件事情make it seem。 C用了两个would显然不好。 D的逻辑主语不对，错误； E的since意思不对。 只剩下B了，可是ETS好像特别不喜欢the fact that这样的说法。 请大家讨论。
本来选B的,看到which就把A排除了;
现在又读了下句子,觉得B有些改变了句意;
A中的while,E中的although,C中的still都有虽然,尽管如此的意思;和but的但是表达的意思不尽相同的.
原文要表达的意思是,尽管Elk曾经几乎遍布整个美国大陆除了一小部分在extreme southwest, 他们现在独自住在RM,使得他们看上去就是M的居民.(大致意思,翻的不好,请莫见怪!!!!)
而B的意思是不一样的!
E的意思也不对,SINCE错;
D逻辑主语不一致;
所以只能选A了!
PS: 如果A中不用which,而是用分词短语表伴随;这个分词短语会不会被认为是"squinting modifier"(OG245),既可修饰前面的句子,又可修饰后面的句子;为了避免这样的歧义,而这么用的呢?
请NN指教!
