以下是引用superacumen在2006-6-7 13:37:00的发言：A medieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides. Of these, ten called the “select plays,” are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medieval manuscripts; this group includes some of Euripides’ best-known works, including the Medea. The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order, without commentary. The Electra is one of the alphabeticals. Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the Statements given? A. Only Euripides’ best-known works are accompanied by ancient commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts. B. The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides’ works. C. No commentaries were written about Euripides’ Electra in ancient times. D. Euripides’ Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary. E. Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a com- mentary in any extant medieval manuscript.
答案是E,但我觉得选D,请NN指教!谢谢 真气人,被ETS玩得天旋地转, 干脆翻译成中文后再看: Q18. 中世纪手稿L包含了 希腊剧作家E写的、所有现存的18个悲剧. 其中,10个"精选剧本"在手稿L中有古人的评注, 并且它们(指这10个剧本,是否包括评注不知道,因为该句主语是ten)也出现在其他中世纪手稿中;"精选剧本"里包含了E的一些最著名作品,如Medea. 其余8个按字母顺序排列,且没有评注.Electra是这8个其中之一. 问可以推出什么可靠的结论?
A. 在所有现存的手稿中,只有E的最著名作品才有古人的评注.------------错,题目只说了手稿L的情况,其他手稿什么情况并不知道.
B. 这10个精选剧本被古人评注 那是因为它们(指这10个剧本)是E写的最著名的作品.------------错, 精选的不一定全是最著名的,题目只说Medea最著名,而"精选剧本"中的剩余9个是否著名不知道. 可能就有那么一个是不著名的,且它被评注是因为政治因素.
C. 古时候,从来没人写过Electra的评注.------------错, 有人写了并且遗失了不行啊? 况且题目只说手稿L中Electra没有评注,可能在其他手稿中就有评注.
D. 任何中世纪手稿中,只要出现Medea,就必同时出现它的古人评注.------------错,简直扯蛋, 题目没说其他手稿一定包含Medea的古人评注.
E. 在任何现存的中世纪手稿中,Electra和它的评注(注意没有限定古人评注,而其他选项都限定了"古人评注")不会同时出现.------------错, 可能有个现存的中世纪手稿N中就有Electra和它的评注, 或者某某剧作家现在就写一篇. 无语............没一个结论可靠!@#$%^&* 要我看如果问"最可能的结论",那么就只能是B了, 只要默认"assumption:精选的全是著名的"就行.
