应该说是一个句子结构层级的问题。 C: that the beginning of the universe was an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago that has expanded 其中,the beginning of the universe was an explosive instant 是一个【主系表】结构,是句子主干。然后that的话,修饰就指向了这个结构中的近邻名词,instant。 D: the beginning of the universe to have been an explosive instant ten to twenty billion years ago that is expanding D中the beginning of the universe 【to have been an explosive instant..】这个【】中的内容,是the beginning of the universe的一个修饰语,that引导的从句也是一个修饰语。所以,在这道题里,可以认为其实【to have....】和【that从句】都起着同样的作用,所以修饰的对象应该相同。故是the beginning of the universe -- by 会员 superbat28 (2012/2/7 17:58:37)
请问一下,那这里that为什么不修饰universe呢?我看了一下OG中的其它句子(因为that的例子没有找到,所以我找了which的,如果这两者中在这里的用法会有什么不同的话,希望你能指出来~O(∩_∩)O谢谢): 1.In ancient Thailand, much of the local artisans' creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined. 2、Construction of the Roman Colosseum, which was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater, began in A.D.69, during the reign of Vespasian, and was completed the Colosseum with a one-hundred-day cycle of religious pageants, gladitorial games, and spectacles. 我之前还看过一篇帖子,http://forum.chasedream.com/archiver/GMAT_SC/thread-441459-1.html,上面说A of B,wihch结构和其他A+介词+B,which不太一样,A of B,wihch结构中which就近指代B,而非核心词A。
那么这道题中,the beginning of universe that is expanding中为什么OG答案上要解释说是指beginning,而不是像其它句子里一样就近指代universe呢?而且在两者都make sense的情况下,不是应该遵循就近指代的原则会比较好吗?
