关于og的一些细节问题求助og45 51 61

og45,
 

according to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that  many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

我的问题是： had feared eariler in the year, 为什么这里用过去完成时，前面又是will 。为什么不能用过去时？

og51

the olympic games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.

B  world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month

OG给的解释是B中proclaim 不清楚谁在proclaim，因此不对。

我的问题是，必须是人在proclaim吗？the Olympic Games 不能做proclaim的主语吗？（抽象拟人的含义）

og61

Since 1986 enrollments of African Americans, American Indians, and Hispanic Americans in full time engineering programs in the Unites States have steadily increased, while the number of other students entering th field has fallen.

划线句为本题的正确答案D，og答案中提到，while表对比，因此选平行对称的选项，时态平行，主谓一致

我的问题是：1 while引导的比较一定需要平行吗？

                     2 为什么enrollments 和the number 可以对应平行?

谢谢各位大虾

版主，帮帮我吧，就三个小问题

#45, OG上完全沒提為什麼用past perfect tense, 而不用past tense, 我當時選了D =.=||; anyway, 看了很多post(不同的website), 唯一比較acceptable explanation是had feared在強調過去feared正在不fear.
#51, 不常用proclaim這個字還等別人來說...(quickly searched nytimes, 看到都是一個人/一個group proclaim something)
#61, 能parallel是好, 可是while/whereas不要求.

谢谢版主，版主你真是太好了。

但是版主，关于proclaim的那个解释我还是没弄清楚，能详细讲讲吗？

如果 the group proclaim的话，那么og上的解释——必须是有谁在proclaim的讲法，不是不正确了吗？

AlienX

umm...probably I didn't express clearly =P
我是說如果proclaim是in active voice, 我只看到someone/some group proclaims something. 所以olympic games不能proclaim, 所以OG說不知道誰在proclaim.
任何passive voice的都是一個unknown agent在execute...

B  world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month

版主，og的意思是不是proclaim前既有The Olympic Games，又有 states，不知道到底是两个中的哪个在讲啊？

还有版主，下面一题中，enrollments 和 the number of ...为什么可以平行啊？

AlienX

umm...OG11#51, 跟妳說的有點接近...proclaim用active voice時的邏輯主語是人/一個group, olympic games不是一個人, 也不是一個group.  the pugnacious states of the Greek world免強可以看成一個group, 可是"pugnacious states主張休戰"好像不make sense.

enrollments的s告訴我們它是可數的, 所以是數量上的平衡, 應該okay.

仔细看看主语，enrollments of ~~~和the number of other students entering the field   ，都是强调数量的，不是对称的吗~我觉得主语对称不完全是一两个单词的对称，也是是意思的对称。
