430.    Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992, Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
(A) Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992, Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
(B) Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence was pledged by Project SETI.
(C) Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, Project SETI pledged a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
(D) Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the initiation of Project SETI five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992.
(E) Pledging a $100 million investment in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, on Columbus Day 1992, the initiation of Project SETI took place.

答案选C,
难道C没有结构性语法错误吗?
five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World是什么成分,分句,还是并列句,怎么不用连词与后面句子连接?

首先想问LZ选的是什么答案，如果是A的话 有个逻辑问题是欧洲人并不是1992年才到的新世纪，而是1992年之前5世纪

关于C ,five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World,是Columbus Day 1992,的同位语结构，可以从句子中忽略的成分。 所以initiated的罗据主语是projest SETI 而不是five centuries.

participal 的逻辑主语 一定要是一个后面跟了动词的主语， 而不是什么紧跟着它的一个名词

有点乱 将就着看哈

michaelalei

你这么一说同位语有点明白了,
也就是说这个句子做Columbus Day 1992的同位语了,
句子可以做同位语的?呵呵,记不清了,
谢谢楼上啊!

five years after XXX arrived 这不是句子！

看到你我才无奈的知道我为啥错了。。。谢谢！

阿丫丫丫

个人见解哦：前面的部分不是句子，是动词分词形式引导的短语，修饰project的，initiated 需要从XXX时间点开始。

(A) Initiated five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World on Columbus Day 1992的意思是这个project从“five centuries起”

(C) Initiated on Columbus Day 1992, five centuries after Europeans arrived in the New World, 的意思是，这个时间点“从哥伦布日这个时间点”起，

两者意思是不同的

并且前面那个意思不符合逻辑哟，因为压根five centuries不是一个时间点，也没有介词

所以C的结构就非常清晰，逻辑也很顺
