再问OG60

以下是引用bryony在2004-3-28 21:20:00的发言：

Those who have visited the Grand Canyon have typically seen layers of sediment in the gaping canyon, with different colors that mark the passage of time like the rings in a tree trunk.

    正好证明weiyu 的解释。

如果是(, like....)那莫就可以修饰the passage of time, 也可以修饰 layers of sediment.


dreadpower版主的引用:

Choices B and C alter the meaning with the use of like, that is, they suggest that the tissues are not tooth and bone, but only like them.[注意不用LIKE的原因！！！]

按照OG的解释，like在这里是表示：象。。。,不能表示举例


这里是说, 如果用了like, 那么bone and tooth就不属于tissues这个类别, 而只是相似. 可是来看看 Stars like the sun


star本身就有恒星的意思, 而太阳本身也是恒星. 那为什么太阳就不属于恒星, 而只是和star相似呢? NN们, 快来解答;

所以我怀疑这个句子本身写的就不idiomatic. 呵呵。

             看这个OG的句子：



     Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs hang like socks on a clothesline.


(D) seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging（答案）


此处有点迷惑了，with arms and legs hanging显然是个独立主格结构，后面加like怎么解释？作什么成分？？

    

113. Visitors to the park have often looked up into the leafy canopy and saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs hang like socks on a clothesline.

(A) saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs hang

(B) saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs were hanging

(C) saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging

(D) seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging（D）

(E) seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs have hung

Choices A and E also confusingly use the present tense hang and the present perfect have hung, respectively; neither verb conveys clearly that, at the time the monkeys were spotted sleeping, their arms and legs were hanging in the manner described. 请问黑体字的意思是什么???

             TO     weiyu



         就是说：当猴子（复数）散乱的睡在树上，他们的手和脚已经按照描述的方式挂在那里了。


         表达的意思是：see 猴子 doing sth, 是现在进行中的动作，而后面的时态和前面不呼应

说猴子的手脚垂下来，就像挂在晾衣服绳子上面的挂的袜子。

1，Spot在这里应该是：to notice someone or something, especially when they are difficult to see or recognize。如：Police finally caught up with Serrano when he was spotted eating in an Upper East Side restaurant. 所以这一题spotted是个过去分词。

2，like短语在这里做方式状语。fficeffice" />

dreadpower

         作者要表达的是：arms and legs 象 socks ，对吗？？


     一般的，like比较的是名词，作状语。但是我不能理解状语直接接在一个独立主格结构里面。。。


     with arms and legs hanging。。。是否可以理解为独立结构作定语，修饰monkeys ？


     我查了一下薄冰的语法，说独立结构可作状语和定语

tianwan

方式状语修饰句子，可以理解为修饰动词。

这正好说明了like sth只表示相似性, 而不表示类属性. 这不正是OG的解释吗..
