又一个语法考点的总结（现在分词伴随状语的正反向考法）

LES

以下是引用dancingforum在2004-5-1 3:01:00的发言：

Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors.

(A) merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors

(B) merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors

(C) merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do

(D) and merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in unclear reactors

(E) and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart

很明显，is这个动作和merge这个动作不可能是同时发生的，也不可能是前一个句子的整体导致后面动作的发生，所以使用merge就错了。大家可以注意到，ABC三个选项都在引诱你使用伴随状语，这就是ETS的险恶用心。所以答案必须在DE中筛选。

正确选项是E。

又想不通了！nuclear fusion: 核子融合－这是一个过程；atomic reactor:原子反应炉－这是一个设备。用unlike连接的两个部分应对称，这两个东东对称吗？到底对称是什么概念?

楼主说

所以我们在以下两个情况下要使用伴随状语

1、 前一个分句的整体对后面某一个对象的作用

2、 两个同时发生的动作

但后面怎么只看到第一种情况的正向考法和反向考法，第二种呢？

这个帖子太经典了，请再把这个疑问解决一下，谢谢！

我想这题就只能用“选5个选项里最好的”的原则来解释了。

前3个选项用楼主的方法已经排除了，D的is done有歧义，不知是指 merge还是split，只能两害相权取其轻，选E了。

davidcopper

Nuclear fusion is the force that 表示一种事实, merge the nuclei of atoms 表示贯穿全程的动作, 怎么不能同时发生呢, 在考试时理解为不能同时发生太难了,这个例子远没有第一个例子好理解. 可能只有凭语感了.

这个就涉及到物理常识了，nuclear fusion是核聚变，但atomic reactor指一般的核反应堆，用的方法是核裂变，所以这两种核反应方式是相反的过程，所以原文中说unlike。

楼主总结的太好了，向楼主致敬！

OG253 doesn't comply with the rule:

1、 前一个分句的整体对后面某一个对象的作用

2、 两个同时发生的动作

how to explain 'slowing' ?

OG253 - Analysts blamed May's sluggish retail sales on unexcitingmerchandise as well as the weather, colder and wetter than was usual insome regions. which slowed sales of barbecue grills and lawn furniture.
(A) colder and wetter than was usual in some regions, which slowed
(B) which was colder and wetter than usual in some regions, slowing (KEY - B)
(C) since it was colder and wetter than usually in some regions, which slowed
(D) being colder and wetter than usually in some regions, slowing
(E) having been colder and wetter than was usual in some regions and slowed

这里不是状语啊!是修饰which来的

ring_cheng

同意楼上的观点，这里slowing是作为which 定语从句中的一部分，即 which (weather) slowing.........

注意在英语中所有的修饰语原则上都是紧跟在其修饰的对象后面（或前面）。

来一个实际中的例子，新东方补充教材新版本204题：

Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors.

(A) merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors

(B) merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors

(C) merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do

(D) and merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in unclear reactors

(E) and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart

很明显，is这个动作和merge这个动作不可能是同时发生的，也不可能是前一个句子的整体导致后面动作的发生，所以使用merge就错了。大家可以注意到，ABC三个选项都在引诱你使用伴随状语，这就是ETS的险恶用心。所以答案必须在DE中筛选。

我有一个跟分词无关的问题：

E选项 and merges之前有逗号，那会不会有歧义呢？merges 即可以看作是与前面的谓语 is 平行，也可以看作是与powers平行呀。

我记得OG里好像有一题就是因为将从属于定语从句的“but+句子”用逗号隔开，而是but引导的句子与主句平行引起歧义。

上面我说的题如下：

939． With its abundance of noun inflections, Icelandic is one of several Germanic languages that is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English.
(A) is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English
(B) are compact when they are written, but they can lengthen considerably when they are translated in English
(C) is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when being translated into English
(D) are compact when written but can lengthen considerably in English translation
(E) is compact when it is written but can lengthen considerably when translated in English

参考答案D

我觉得

原句想表达的意思是，but they can lengthen considerably when they are translated in English 和 are compact when they are written并列，都是属于that引导的定语从句的内容，修饰languages。但是在B中，but之前加了一个逗号，就把but后面的这个句子变成了一个独立的句子，与Icelandic is one of several Germanic languages that is compact when written 并列了。改变了句子的原意。

Avantasia的观点和我一样。http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=25341

到底能不能将定语从句中的并列分句用逗号断开呢？
