纠结的Emily Dickinson’s letters

二丫zheng

4、Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

A. Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering

B. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

C. Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886 and outnumbering

D. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering

E. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber
还是想不通A 为什么不对，doing放在SVO 后面一是表伴随状语，一是表结果状语。如果outnumbering是做Emily Dickinson’s letters 的伴随状语不可以吗？恳请大家解释下啊……

这个， outnumbering不能表结果啊， 信什么时候被写， 与out 不out 没有关系，所以outnumbering不能是were written的结果哈

因为当前面的分句是被动语态的时候，现在分词是不能用来表示前面分句所产生的直接或者间接结果的。而且这道题里，outnumber的事情并不是前面写信所产生的直接或者间接的结果，因此是不能用ing形式，所以A不对。

建议楼主参看考manhattan论坛里Ron的解释：

如果这个outnumbering不是表结果，只是表达Emily Dickinson’s letters 的状态，做其伴随状语。这样解释有错吗？

哦，我好想懂了，这个letters应该不能自己“outnumber”，不是它主动发出的动作，不可用doing的形式表伴随吧……

如果不从严格的语法角度说，从逻辑看是"信"占了大部分，E选项的重心在信上，而A是"信被写"不大合逻辑啊！

a类信 Outnumber b类信。这样比较的结构就对了。

对，重点强调的是“给S的信比其他人都多”
