再讨论OG-129，昏昏昏。请NN指点。

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

看过以前的OG总结，还有一个问题。

答案中的they 指什么呀？ 如果指wines 好像比较说的过去。但是，前面的their 明明就是指vinters 呀。 这里不是违反了指代一致的原则嘛？

还有省略的原则究竟是什么呀？为什么OG解释说，省略的是sell, 而不是priced to sell 呢？如何判断哪个词被省略了？

答案C。

i think that what ETS want us to solve in the question is about tense. So you can look at choice a&b&d&e again.

in (A),  have been priced to sell, and they are(前面现在完成时, 省略的是一般现在时）
in (B) are priced to sell, and they have（前面一般现在时, 省略的是现在完成时)
in (D) are being priced to sell, and have (前面现在进行时,省略的是现在完成时)
in (E) had been priced to sell, and they have（前面过去完成时, 省略的是现在完成时)

only in (C) are priced to sell, and they do, 前后两个时态都是一般现在时, match.

btw, 省略的原则是前后一致.

同雪山姐姐的问题。好像还没有得到解答：（

请指教。谢谢

同一句话里面代词的指代应该是相同的，这点相信ETS不敢自己又打自己一巴掌。

句子逻辑：酒商要减少库存，那么他们想的办法就是定价销售，结果酒商确实卖的不错。

they 和 their 在指代上可以不一样，我在一道OG的提干中看见过，一直对这个影响深刻。

Avantasia

violetyang83可以把例子贴出来吗，感谢！

按照答案c，完整的表达应当是

In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines have been priced to sell. and they (do) reduce their inventories.
