请教一道没答案的语法题(GWD-11-10)

scrogon

我选的是B，但很坚定地认为，but which绝对是错的

至于it得指代问题，说实话，偶现在也没弄清楚。OG的解释也从没有清楚过，要不就是一句话“指代不清”糊弄过去，要不就是“从逻辑上来看，这句话得指代是清晰的”

that从句不是修饰a tool，他直接修饰radio

赞同！

选C. Marconi conceived of the radio (as a tool for private conversation) that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

that是修饰radio的, 后置前句子是: Marconi conceived of the radio that could substitute...as a tool for private conversation

这道题的C选项有个严重的意思错误：

原文： a tool for private conversation是修饰telephone,而C选项却用去修饰a radio.

Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

C    Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

难道选C的XDJM们不觉得这个说的很有道理吗？radio as a tool for private conversation 这确实是好笑啊~~

淡蓝色的回忆

没有错呀! 早期的radio 是用来无线对讲的。

Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

A.       Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is (it 指代Marconi’s conception，illogical)_

B.        Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is(but 后面是从句，前面没有平行对象)

C.        Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become（that could substitute for the telep修饰a tool for private conversation 的中心词没有歧义；it指代前面主句的宾语，也没有歧义；has become表示一个渐变的过程，优于is）

D.       Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become(which引起歧义)

E.        Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is, （a tool for private conversation明显修饰telephone，虽然意思差别不大，但是和原句还是有出入；what相当于the thing that，如果没有逗号，带进去it明显多余，而如果有逗号，这个表达ye也略显redundant）

感觉C好一些，any more comment?

更正~~~ 应该说 it 语法上会有歧义 不知道指哪个~　．Marconi ／ the radio ／ tool ／private conversation ／ telephone 太多名词拉

应该选C~~~Marconi是指无线电报的发明者~~~更何况conceive这个动作只能是由人发出的~~~看longman的解释就知道拉~

conceive: think of a new idea or plan, and develop it in your mind~~~~

it怎么可能用来指人呢?~~~~

B选项but which, which的指代对象更是不清楚的多~~~~

相比之下~~我还是觉得C比较好~~~读起来也比较顺~~~

C相对比较好

乌龙茶

我在C和E中间徘徊，为什么E不对呢

C
但是我认为您想太多了。that就是修饰tool。

因为如果修饰radio就变成限定修饰，让人以为有很多种radio，而其中有一种是可以代替电话。整个句子变很怪：
M认为"那种可以代替电话的radio"是一种私人对话的工具；instead，it("那种可以代替电话的radio") has become precisely.....
这样解会不会扯太远了??
