In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees’ paychecks, assigned by them to the United Nations

B for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned

这里的who有是限定的？

news of these shots?that were sent by swift messenger took four days to reach New York City and another eleven days

既然as 当连词那后面句子你单独拿出来看就知道为什么B不好.

A. companies (that compete one day) may be partners the next.

B. competing companies one day may be partners the next..   one day & the next 修饰谁?

companies one day may be partners--ok

companies maybe partners the next-- 有点奇怪 but i guess i can live with it..

companies one day maybe partners the next?  -->no

应该是be 动词对等逻辑加副词修饰问题

Unless the transplant involves identical twins
            who have the same genetic endowment all patients receiving hearts or other organs must take antirejection drugs for the rest of their lives.

这里的ｗｈｏ，ETS解释的是非限定的，最后承认错误了，这样的表达是限定的

以下是引用sen4sun在2006-8-14 18:17:00的发言：

虽然对斑斑很崇拜的说，但是还是支持B

理由：

ｏｎｅ?和后面的ｔｈｅ?ｎｅｘｔ，ｔｈｅ?ｎｅｘｔ后省略了ｄａｙ

companies （that compete） one day may be partners the next??这里的ｃｏｍｐｅｔｅ是什么词性？KS只有Vｉ一个

（competing companies） one day may be （partners） the next?（ｄａｙ）．

很对称的阿?????请指教

sen4sun

A 中 one day 修饰 competes. 和that 合起来修饰companies. 所以是 companies may be partners the next. 哪种companies 呢? companies that competes one day.

B 中把that 从句省了这无所谓. 但是变成副词 one day 直接修饰 companies. the next 后面省略 day 是没错. 对称也没错, 但是就是因为对称了所以不合理. 注意这里是 "be" 动词. 你等于把 one day 和 the next day 划上等号.

one day = the next day

注意这里用中文广义的翻译听起来对. 今天的竞争者可以是明天的伙伴.  但是用英文来说对称后真正的意思会变成

今天可以是明天

所以翻译的话 A 是 今天的竞争者可以是明天的伙伴 (有时间顺延关系因为整句只有一个时间副词)

                      B 是 今天的竞争者可以等于明天的伙伴. (但是这里时间的延续因为时间副词的对称而丧失了)

如果你看A 的话. 被划上等号的是 companies 和 partners . 欢迎继续讨论.

补充一下. A 的话是. companies may be partners. when? the next day. what kind of companies? companies that competes one day.

所以画上等号的只是 companies & partners. the next day 点出时间

competes one day 点出哪种companies..

现在你再回去看choice B

companies one day may be partners the next---> 对称是对到家. 但意思错了.

Excavations of the Roman city of Sepphoris have uncovered numerous detailed mosaics depicting several readily identifiable animal species:  a hare, a partridge, and various Mediterranean fish.  Oddly, most of the species represented did not live in the Sepphoris region when these mosaics were created.  Since identical motifs appear in mosaics found in other Roman cities, however, the mosaics of Sepphoris were very likely created by traveling artisans from some other part of the Roman Empire.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

1. The Sepphoris mosaics are not composed exclusively of types of stones found naturally in the Sepphoris area.
2. There is no single region to which all the species depicted in the Sepphoris mosaics are native.       无关
3. No motifs appear in the Sepphoris mosaics that do not also appear in the mosaics of some other Roman city.
4. All of the animal figures in the Sepphoris mosaics are readily identifiable as representations of known species.
5.  There was not a common repertory of mosaic designs with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire were familiar.

请问E 是什么意思？
