[讨论]再论OG 149中and的用法!

八戒

以前有人讨论过了,但感觉还不是很明白...

希望大家多多指教!

谢谢!

149. Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast. and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands.
(A) so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did
(B) so fast, and in some parts even faster than, those
(C) as fast, and in some parts even faster than, those
(D) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, those
(E) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than what they did

答案是D,没有问题!

我的疑问是OG中对and部分的解释:
Answer to Question 149
The properly completed sentence here must (1) use the proper form of the comparative conjunction, as fast as;(2) enclose the parenthetical statement and... even faster than in commas; and (3) preserve parallel structure,clarity of reference, and economy by using those to substitute for land values in the completed comparison. D,the best choice, does all these things correctly. A and B use so unidiomatically in place of as. A and E omit the comma needed after than and use the confusing and unparallel what they did instead of those. C omits the second as needed in the comparative conjunction as fast as.

我查了字典:

and有一种用法是:

表示补充说明或则限制,常含有强调意味.

eg:

1\For example, in Maria Campbell’s account of growing up as a Canadian Metis who was influenced strongly, and often negatively, by the non-Native American world around her, one learns a great deal about the life of Native American women, but Campbell’s individual story, which is told to us directly, is always the center of her narrative.

2\ First, a firm must be shown to possess monopoly power, and second, that power must have been used to exclude competition in the monopolized market or related markets.
(好不容易找到几个例子,应该是这一类型的用法).

我的疑问是:
and这类用法是否是作为插入语的形式,虽然和前面的名词并列,因为是作为一种补充说明或则限制,从而并不会对后面的谓语动词单复数的词态产生影响呀!

就像前天刚刚讨论过, and hence的用法,

谢谢大家!

2\ First, a firm must be shown to possess monopoly power, and second, that power must have been used to exclude competition in the monopolized market or related markets.


这个句子应该不是这个类型的吧？！应该是取其then，afterwards 的意思的吧，是吗？  ^-^

同意八戒的理解，同时还可加上and的另一个含义： as well as, also  
个人认为在这种用法中，强调的作用的最根本的

插入语不影响主谓一致，不过这里值得注意的是，and引导插入语，表示补充说明。谢谢LZ辛苦找例子拉。
