OG11-51 质疑一下OG的解释

znx

The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.>>

(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month>>

(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month>>

(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month>>

(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival     

(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival

上面这道题，OG11给出的答案是D，它给出的选项B错误的原因是：It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming; a clause is preferable to a phrase here.

我不明白的是，proclaiming 在这里的施动者似乎很明确，就是Olympic Games啊？可以看作是用-ing形式来表示具体的方式和手段。而且为什么这里用clause 比用phrase 好呢？

如果说选项B的错误在于festival's month用得不当，我觉得倒还可以接受。

哪位NN对上面的问题比较清楚啊？拜托指点一下吧？多谢多谢！！

我不是NN，先说明下：

个人感觉是,后面一个分句是要对前面的主句做一个解释的．ＯＧ上也详细说了为什么做解释的时候不用IN THAT,而是用FOR 。清楚前后分句的关系以后，就能判断本题只能在A,D做选择。

我也看到了你有疑问的地方。

想问一下，前面有逗号的现在分词放在句尾的时候是不是只能做伴随状语？

如果是的话，OG 给的解释是不是说这里PROCLAIMING也有可能作定语修饰Greek world ？

看了很多关于现在分词的帖子还是弄不明白前面有逗号的现在分词

有谁明白麻烦帮忙解释一下

回答feiqtx：

现在分词作定语起的是形容词的作用，单个现在分词作定语应该放在名词前面，如果现在分词加一个介词短语作定语，应该放在名词后面。像OG11-51这道题这样的，有一个逗号和句子主要成分分开的，只能是现在分词引导的作状语的一个修饰成分，放在句首、句中或者后面都可以，现在分词表示的是句子主语的动作，即其逻辑主语就应该是句子的主语。

所以我才不明白，这道题为什么OG的解释会认为谁proclaiming不清楚呢？

我一直的理解是：如果现在分词前面没有“，”现在分词优先作定语修饰前面的名词。但是还看到过有些特例就是，加了“，”也可以做定语修饰前面的名词。

例子：

The growth of he railroads led to the abolition of local times, which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing from city to city, and to the establishment of regional times.
(C) which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(D) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differed
(E) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing

正确答案是E，我觉得这里的determined和differing就是做定语修饰前面的local times,

我记得还有一道，一时没有找到，待我慢慢翻……

麻烦楼上给解释下……

楼主怎么都不回复

我这边还是没有找到那一题，看来OG还是看的太少了！

我看了你贴出来的这个题，我觉得是特别典型的过去分词和现在分词作状语啊？是什么解释上说是作定语呢？

看下这个帖子吧，感觉和我们说的问题一样：

下面是86版OG给的解释：

In choice A, was is incorrect; the verb must be were to agree with times. Also, which becomes the subject of a compound verb that lacks parallelism: was determined…and differing. In choice B, was is again incorrect, and the use of two which clauses is awkward. In choice C, which were determined…and differing is another faulty compound verb. Choice D presents a false compound: determined is an adjective modifying local times and differed is the simple past tense of to differ. Because they serve different grammatical functions, these words cannot be treated as parallel elements joined by and. Choice E is best: without which, determined and differing function not as verb elements but as parallel modifiers of local times. This question is very difficult.

麻烦楼主再看一下是状语还是定语

proclaiming，分词在句尾，其逻辑主语应该是句子主语，但是奥林匹克是个运动，他不能发出proclaim（宣布宣告）这个动作，只有人才能发生。
