compared是分词结构,这里不是compare的过去时.

open to discussion.

如果从你的角度讲-ing and -ed形式的分词可以并列，但是中间是不是缺少连接词呢？

那么cost,get,allow and have,都是位于动词。但是个人观点认为，原句的意思在于minivans &  most sport utility vehicles比较后出现的如下优势。这么理解是不是有点改变原句意思。个人还是认为这句话的结构在于A ，carrying……，compared with B,cost less,get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

请juan明示。

Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

A.     Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

B.     Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, they cost less,

C.     Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they

D.     Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

E.      Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they

我的意思是D中的compared不可能是compare的过去时，做这里的谓语动词，因为如果是谓语动词，就该是一般现在时。那么这里的compared就只能理解成分词形式了。如果是分词形式，那不就是和carrying….并列了吗？你说的没错。compared成分词形式后，前面得加个and，所以说这也是D的一错呀。不知道我这样说有没有清楚？多多讨论。

谢谢你的解释，但是这里有一点不知道我有没有表述清楚。也许是我的理解错误。原句的意思是minivans和most sport utility vehicles比较后才能够得出cost……，不知道我这么理解对不对。

juan

你的理解没错啊。正是通过minivans和most sport utinily vehicles比较，才能得出cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride。所以更应该选A，因为carry as many as 7 passengers根本和后面这一串比较级的DD没联系，所以应该用A, carry.....and, compared with sth.,cost less.....你觉得呢？

leo1111

我不太确定是不是有这样的存在你说的这种结构。感谢你的帮助。

juan

你指的是我说的哪种结构呀？

leo1111

就是do and,do ,do and do

juan

我觉得不能纯粹看着这个结构。而应该结合逻辑意思。这题因为carry as many as 7 passengers和后面的比较是完全不同的2个范畴，所以用and隔开，分开讲。

个人意见。呵呵。。

我弃暗投明, 投奔tianwan, mariezhu, 等诸多NN的阵营, 改选A !
原因: 用现在分词结构"carrying as many as seven passengers"放在Minivans的后面, 感觉很奇怪 -- 找不到什么好理由为什么这里要用现在分词.

非限定修饰是不是一个理由？Minivan可以坐7个人，这是Minivan的特点，用分词和定从修饰都不算过分。SUV大都只能坐5个人，和4门的sedan一样。其实，这个句子想表达的意思有很强的对比性，即：Minivan虽然可以坐多达7个人（比SUV多），但是却比SUV省油，等等。所以，A选项在语气上本身存在问题。如果第一个and被改为but，A还可以作为一个选项，否则平行结构混乱。
