885 SEC C-18(THEN)

longman上查到的

then用来表示动词的先后

xjlv128

那就把这题当特例吧， 觉得其他题里then还是挺传统的

xuseraph

then 在表示动作上时间先后，和位置上的先后时还是可以连接动词或句子的，当然还是副词，只是表示一种先后关系

以下是引用jnlvo在2004-3-10 11:32:00的发言：
我认为可以这么理解：then还是作副词修饰动词，如有两个动词并列出现通常需用and连接，如：Eric moaned something and then lay still
但当两个动词中间有过多的修饰成分，距离太远，这时and可以省略用，号代替如When she recognized Morris she went pale, then blushed.
本题也可以这么理解，这样then看上去就像连词一样连接两个动词，但它绝不能这样连接两个名词。

好像挺有道理的！

这里我想请教NN一下，逗号和and之间的关系：在托福里，逗号就意味着and，例如a big,fat  rat=a big and fat rat

这条规律在G里适用吗？

此题THEN根本就不是连词,

by是介词后面要接动名词或名词，所以是putting ，后面的installing是对前面的内容作进一步的解释，不是与

filling的并列结构！！

这里也不需要连词,同OG154题一模一样! THEN仅仅是动作转换的过程而已

154. In 1791 Robert Carter III, one of the wealthiest plantation owners in Virginia, stunned his family, friends, and neighbors by filing a deed of emancipa­tion, setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.

(A)  setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered

(B)  setting free more than the 500 slaves legally considered as

(C)  and set free more than 500 slaves, who were legally considered as

(D)  and set free more than the 500 slaves who were
    legally considered

(E)   and he set free the more than 500 slaves who
    were legally considered as

This sentence requires that the participial phrase setting free... connect to the gerund construction by filing a deed...; it was the filing of a deed that made possible the setting free .... Choices A and B establish this connection, but only A, the best choice, completes the participial phrase appropri­ately. In choices B and D the misconstructed phrases set[ting] free more than the 500 slaves ... mistakenly suggest that Carter set free slaves that were not his own. Choices C and D distort meaning by paralleling stunned and set free, as though these were two separate and independent actions. E begins a second independent clause, which--though grammatically acceptable--again distorts the meaning. In choices B, C, and E, considered as is unidiomatic.

楼上的说得很好。补充一下并列并不是一定要连词的，没有也可以。

我想请问一下，平行和并列有什么区别，我记得OG里面说过，几个事物平行时，最后一项之前要加连词and，那么根据楼上的意思，是不是意味着这条定律也变得不一定了呢？？？

我觉得那个then是表示时间先后，那个人先把压缩机放在房子里，然后装了电扇和管子......
只是那个then后面是不是省略了by？表示方式的

请大家指教～

不同意26楼的说法

putting和installing 引导的两个动作不是解释和被解释的关系，而是一个过程的两个部分，这个从句意上能判断，而且从来没见过 then+修饰的...我觉得是因为既然要表示两个递进的动作，就没有必要用分词来修饰，所以这个还是平行问题，但这道题真是长见识了...
