885---补充---230！！！

230.    In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell, and they are.
(A) have been priced to sell, and they are
(B) are priced to sell, and they have
(C) are priced to sell, and they do
(D) are being priced to sell, and have
(E) had been priced to sell, and they have

为什么 一定认为 省略的一定是 sell 呢？ 如果是 price呢？
即 如 a：have been priced to sell, and they are sell

是不是也对呢？？？

In choice C, the best answer, do is correctly used in place of th full verb do sell; in this verb, do is a conjugated form and sell is in the infinitive form, corresponding to its previous use in the sentence( in the phrase priced to sell)....

如果 认为 a 中的 are 与 have been priced 对应， 那么and they are 是 and they are priced 的省略， 为什么不可以。

129.    In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell, and they are.
(A) have been priced to sell, and they are
(B) are priced to sell, and they have
(C) are priced to sell, and they do
(D) are being priced to sell, and have
(E) had been priced to sell, and they have
In choice C, the best answer, do is correctly used in place of the full verb do sell; in this verb, do is a conjugated form and sell is in the infinitive form, corresponding to its previous use in the sentence (in the phrase priced to sell). In choice A, the omitted word is selling; in B, D, and E, it is sold. Neither of these forms corresponds properly to to sell earlier in the sentence. Also, in E, the past perfect had been priced signifies that the wines had been priced to sell before the prices were cut.

OG的意思是用they do 来代替 they do to sell.  少见的用法，但合理。
你要表现这句话的sell 该怎做？
1. they are to sell.   ? they = to sell ?
2. they have to sell.   意思不同了？
所以只剩C的表现方式较好吧！

a 没有表现出sell。
就算要表现price，也应改成they have. (a) 选项很少这样错，除非是句意不合逻辑。


That’s my two cents words.
