老帖新问,关于Ron说的歧义问题,我不是很能赞同,望拍砖
Ron的原话:
1) Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored because they enhance reproduction or survival, but simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments. --> this is the most obvious reading
2) Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored because they enhance reproduction or survival, but simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments. --> counterintuitive if you know anything about evolutionary biology, although grammatically ok -- so, a competing interpretation, but not reasonable.
加粗部分是一个unit的意思
但是我觉得虽然语法上看有第二种解读的可能性,但是我觉得because加but这个东西逻辑不对呀?因为但是这是什么逻辑?而且句子意思but后面的内容也不是转折because后面的呀。我很纠结Ron的解释。忽然一看很有道理,但是我在读句子的时候根据语义也不会那么想唉。。
我倒是比较认同说be动词否定位置的特殊性,以后要是见到了be动词的not but平行结构,特别是not but中间有插入的修饰成分要小心对Be动词的补出。 |
