以下是引用cocoabean在2004-4-5 1:10:00的发言：186. Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to a hotel. (A) to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to
(B) that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to
(C) under which members of the jury are allowed to go home at the end of each day instead of confining them in (D) that would allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than confinement in
(E) to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to
In this sentence, members of the jury are presented with two options: they may (1) go home or (2) be confined to a hotel. The rejected motion would have allowed them to do the first rather than [to] suffer the second.
Members of the jury must be the logical subject of both options, and both must be expressed in parallel form, that is, as infinitive clauses. E, the best choice, observes these requirements. 主语一致 In A and C, the phrase members of the jury is not the logical subject of the second option, to confine them or confining them, since jury members are not doing the confining.
In B and D, confined and confinement are not infinitives and thus do not parallel
to go in the first option. zhoushao在2005-4-21 20:19:00的发言：

其实OG已经说明白了，就是希望他们回家，我觉得to allow 。。。。是表示目的吧，应该不是修饰谁？他们denied motion从而容许。。。。。 我想了又想，觉得zhoushao说的不对，蓝色的部分应该是说虚拟语气，是说被否决了的提议是希望允许他们第一个（回家），而不是第二个（呆在旅馆里），也就是说，Judge Bonham不希望他们回家 我想的对不对啊，请大家帮忙指点一下。谢谢。 |
