以下是引用atasl在2003-12-11 18:18:00的发言: 我的想法是,B说:不是来自共同祖先;C说:不是与共同祖先无关,即来自共同祖先。 ets的解释中:In C, the expression a type whose development was independent of a common ancestor states the opposite of the original point-that the type of mammal mentioned was thought to have developed independently of the main stem of mammalian evolution, but still to have descended from a common ancestor. 注意破折号后的that从句是解释the opposite而不是解释the original point,因为在the opposite of the original point中the opposite 是中心词。 另外,C中的independent of的意思按字典上解释是“独立的,不依赖他人或他物的,不受他人控制的”;而B中的developed independently from主体词是developed from,independently只是修饰develop表示develop的方式。
这种想法不知对否,还请大牛们指教。谢谢啦!
我被绕晕了, 看了gemj NN在另一贴字的解释, 仍不理解... 撇开这题的答案不谈, 到底破折号后面的话是 original point 还是 opposite of the original point. 我觉得就是original point, 因为B 就是这个意思:
" common ancestor"-----> main branch ----> here |----------> rather than here
"the opposite of the original point-that the type of mammal mentioned was thought to have developed independently of the main stem of mammalian evolution, but still to have descended from a common ancestor."
好迷惑啊, 请指教!
