我也不懂，看前辈的讨论吧：http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&replyID=108266&ID=15954&skin=1

还是不明白~~呵呵，鸭鸭明白了吗？说说你的看法？？

肯定是B,同位语是优选项。A，D中过去分词，C为定语从句。如果是过去分词，就不应该加逗号，加了逗号，会有修饰不明的感觉。定语从句are时态有误，应该用were。而且2个that，读上去很不顺口。E中 having be 多余。

最重要的是这里主要考形容词与副词的修饰关系。“削”的动作完美，翅膀（被削的)光滑。削的这个动作不可能光滑阿！中文可以讲的通，但是细心理解一下，的确B的说法最精确。

A中的问题与OG253类似
253.Analysts blamed May’s sluggish retail sales on unexciting merchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.
(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed
(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing
(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed
(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing
(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed
Choice B is the best answer. It is concise and idiomatic, and which has a clear referent, the weather.

hi, dreadpower, i read the previous discussion. it is  not clear. but my opinions are:
1, 'smooth' refers to the quality性质 while 'perfectly' refers to the 'form'形状。 they are different
2,  for sure, A is not right. In A, the redundant comma makes it wrong. furthermore, "something is shaped" should be followed by an adj.
3, i don't believe that 'perfect' includes 'smooth', discussed before
4, the whole sentence should be 'wings, wings that are shaped  so smooth and so perfectly shaped that ...'. a similar example would be:

In the traditional Japanese household, most clothing could be packed flatly, and so it was not necessary to have elabrate closet facilities.
B, flat, and so elaborate closet facilities were unnecessary.

  1,2,3点都认同
  
   4，有点难理解：wings, wings that are shaped  so smooth and so perfectly shaped that ...这样不是不平行吗？？？

   还有，你所举的那个例子中flatly和flat的意思是不同的，不光是副词和形容词的区别

Snazzy

sorry, i guess i must have misled you guys. i am even confused by NO 4. but i think the example exactly illustrated the point:  pack sth flat --> shape sth smooth

agreed?

smooth is similar to flat.

smooth modifies the result of the action.  smoothly modifies the action itself.

eg. smooth-shaven  脸上刮的光光的，讲的其实是shave 这个动作的结果。
