以下是引用linlang在2008-12-1 15:46:00的发言：

A new phenomena, which is visible at Managua’s major intersections, are waves of vendors and beggars, which include many children and mob cars at the stoplights.

我理解的是：which修饰phenomena,"are"不对，应改为is，这样主谓一致。第二个which修饰 vendors and beggers. 原句中可以看出include和mob是平行并列形式，发出者是vendors and beggers.(所以C中who指代的是vendor and beggers )

我的问题是：如果改为 a new phenomena , which is visible at Managua's magor intersection, is waves of vendor and beggars,who include many children and mob cars at the stoplights. 这样可不可以呢，会有歧义吗？我没看出，

或者改为 ......vendor and beggars, including many children and mobbing cars in the stoplights. 这样可以吗？我不太清楚，如果不对，是因为，改为including....的话，including其修饰主语是phenomena吗？

确实，are应该改成is。原句的第二个which是优先指代waves，但是waves include many children逻辑不对。

后面改为who以后，who也只指代beggars而不能指代vendors andd beggars.

改为including many children也是不对的...including短语做定语修饰waves，前面是主系表，Ing短语在句尾只做定语，因为不能伴随。

ps:你对这句话的改动有点大...没必要这么改...只要弄清楚ing短语和定语从句的修饰关系就可以。关于修饰关系，OG上说得很清楚。

嗯，嗯，明白了，尤其是-ing那个，谢谢：—）

我觉得vendors还是作为小摊贩讲比较好，这样意义上才能和作为乞丐讲的beggars并列，而且如果是贩卖机怎么会有children呢。

PS我们都叫贩卖机vending。

who个人认为是修饰vendors and beggars的。都好中间的是插入。

thanks to all of you~~~~~

who 也可以指代vendors吧

本题目中 many of them children 为什么不加一个动词are呢？

这个用法在OG89中，使用则是有is。二者有啥子区别？

89.
                Presenters at the seminar, one who is blind, will demonstrate adaptive equipment that allows visually impaired people to use computers.

(A) one who

(B) one of them who

(C) and one of them who

(D) one of whom

(E) one of which

Idiom

The writer is trying to include information regarding one of the presenters at the seminar; the phrase must correctly refer back to presenters. The pronouns who or whom should be used to refer to people. In this situation, the correct pronoun is whom because an objective case pronoun must be used following the preposition of

A   One who could only be used after an introductory word such as including

B   One of them who is awkward and ungrammatical

C   And creates the impression that the blind presenter is not part of the group; one of them who is awkward and ungrammatical

D   Correct. This sentence uses the proper objective pronoun whom; the phrase clearly conveys the idea of one person out of a larger group.

E   The pronoun which can only refer to objects, events, or unnamed animals; it cannot be used to refer to people

The correct answer is D.

ONE of whom is blind对，为什么用is，因为is没划线。
还可以表达为one of them blind.
而one who 我暂时正在查，什么叫用在比如including one who ..我的理解是此时incg加one，WHO引导从句修饰one.whom不能引导从句。而我又设想one who did this caught her heart对不对，若按one who 必须在介绍性词后的原则，可能 上句会冗余而改为the one did ...

希望高手解答

ryanyong

one who did 没有限定性，用法上比较不常规，该有the，即the one。突然自己想到是不是这个原因导致没有冠词的one，由于指向性差的原因于是只有在有”前行特指”的情况下才不加冠词，而往往，前行特指似乎都是介绍性的表达如including.

feifeizoe

A new phenomenon visible at Managua’s major intersections is waves of vendors and beggars, many of them children, who mob cars at the stoplights.

有两个问题：

1. 就是句子中：phenomena是复数名词，为什么可以用a new phenomena来修饰呢？

这样不是表示一个单数的形式了么。

2. 就是C选项中的who mob the cars at the stoplights. 这里到底是就近指代children,还是指代‘vendors and baggars'.

谢谢。

这里的VENDOR是指小贩还是自动售货机？
