OG10-39,OG11-24 For members of the seventeenth-century Ashanti nation in Africa,animal-hide shields with wooden frames were essential items of military equipment,a method to protect warriors against enemy arrows and spears. (A)a method to protect (B)as a method protection (C)protecting (D)as a protection of (E)to protect OG10对此题正确答案的解释是: Choice C is best because the participle protecting begins a phrase that explains what the shields did. OG11对正确答案C的解释进行了修改: C Correct. In this sentence, protecting properly introduces a modifying phrase revealing the purpose of the items. 这两句话有一个重要的区别,protecting的修饰对象从shields,变成了items. 也就是protecting短语成分从状语变作了定语。 --- 同时prep语法1-81的笔记中有说:伴随状语不能修饰主句系动词: 原题如下: In the major cities of industrialized countries at the end of the nineteenth century, important public places such as theaters, restaurants, shops, and banks had installed electric lighting, but electricity was in less than one percent of homes, where lighting was still provided mainly by candles or gas. (A) electricity was in less than one percent of homes, where lighting was still (B) electricity was in less than one percent of homes and lighting still (C) there were less than one percent of homes with electricity, where lighting was still being (D) there was less than one percent of homes that had electricity, having lighting that was still (E) less than one percent of homes had electricity, where lighting had still been 对D项为什么错误的解释是:having...修饰对象不清楚。而且有脚注:伴随状语不能修饰主句系动词。 ----- 但是如果伴随状语不能修饰主句系动词的话,39题中的protecting就是做定语修饰items了,那么protecting前面为什么要加逗号呢...省了更加直接... 所以我得出结论:伴随状语不是不能修饰主句系动词,而是不能修饰“表语不是名词”的主句的系动词。 但是这个结论又与OG11说protecting修饰的是items有所出入... 虽然很多语法点是不能有定论的,但是这个修辞的语法点我想如果修辞方式太多,肯定怎么排句子结构也会出歧义的...所以这里必然应该有一个定论。 望大家帮忙帮我看看我上面的结论是对是错.. |
