还有一题类似的指代问题  答案E中who 不会指代了US吗？  因为我记得有一题语法笔记是用这样的指代错误杀掉的……

prep那題, D and E在意思上不同.
"to"一般都是表目的. 所以D有點怪...像說那個deal的目的是為了令到那buyer公司變成the largest manufacturer.
E在語意上比較合理 - 那個deal將會令到那buyer公司變成the largest manufacturer.

louislao

那B呢 为什么不能用同位语呢？

AlienX

B錯是因為這個purchase是在未來發生, 所以"make it the largest manufacturer in the office color-printing market"一定是在purchase之後, 所以一定要用未來式.

同位语有几种结构;BY说的....

1. 名词性同位语. n.., n;     n,a/an +N, the, +n, n

$950 million, a part ( 根据NN 们的总结, 这样的同位语两个东东必须完全对等..)

  可是, LZ 反问一下自己,  a part 和 million 能对等吗? ..这里是不可以的..

我做的的时候也错啦.. 后来想想明白啦.

2. 概括性同位语, 用一个概括性的词去概括前面解释的对象: a program/information/an effort/ a practice  that.....

   an increase 在第二题中就可以概括性的说明前面的东东...所以, 可以用an increase

 

------关于,

(D) million as a part of a deal to make 

(E) million as part of a deal that will make        

D, E 我也想了半天...

    后来觉得, to make 放在这里有歧义..   原来应该是修饰DEAL 的, 可是, 在C中, 变成表目的啦, purchase to make

   E 中却没有这个缺陷.

(D) million as a part of a deal to make 

(E) million as part of a deal that will make        

D, E 我也想了半天...

我觉得这里的a part of a deal不是第一种同位语却是第二种:就是指代前面整个公司的收购事件The computer company has announced that it will purchase the color-printing division of a rival company for $950 million是DEAL的一部分,这样的话B是不是就成立了?

请大家讨论!

xiado, 我讚同妳的看法.  可是B的時態不對. 看6樓.
