以下是引用scorpio0001在2005-3-22 15:56:00的发言：

这里的namely that 从句并不是做主语从句的同位语，而是做feature的同位语，仔细体会本句的意思，如果你看懂句子的意思，那么你就能体会到它是做谁的同位语了。

我非常同意这种看法：namely和that之间省略了feature

原句补全了我觉得应该是：

(That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar) highlights an (interesting and often overlooked )feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely (feature) that they vary considerably.....


namely that ... 是同位语结构。

这道题其实没有比较深入地讨论过。请教NN B选项中的namely that they vary considerably中的that在这里起什么作用？namely的用法有什么讲究吗...
Q31:

The fact of some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary considerably on a spectrum of genetic relatedness.

The fact of some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary considerably
That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely that they vary considerably
With some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar, it highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely considerable variation
With some fraternal twins resembling each other greatly and others looking quite dissimilar, it is a fact that highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely a considerable variation
Because some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly and others look quite dissimilar, this fact highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely they vary considerably

a选项有误，逗号后面，没有连词，namely 不是连词。
b,d,可以考虑。e 中用because不合适，因为后面是fact, 原因与事实挂钩，显然不恰当。
d中 with n.1 and n.2, it is a fact that verb.(s)...n.3, namely n4.显得结构冗余，it is a fact that ..很奇怪，不算是强调结构，因此整体来看，显得冗余别扭。
b中，namely that 后面跟的从句----名词性从句，补充说明了解释了这个...的feature .

b 的结构 我认为是这样：  名词性从句1（一个存在的现象） hightlights 了一个 feature, （可称为（namely)） 名词性从句2。

贴的国外帖子 解释的比较令人信服
here are some splits.

* "namely" must be used either before a noun or before a noun phrase / clause.
you can't use it directly before an independent clause.
because of this principle, you can't say "namely they vary...". however, "namely that they vary..." and "namely considerable variation" are both fine.
this kills (a) and (e).

* "the fact of X doing Y" is universally incorrect.
this kills (a).

* the sentence openers starting with "with" are incorrect. to work properly, they'd have to be followed by a subject that's actually "with" those things.
example: with five all-state players in its backfield, ballard high looks to shut down opposing offenses completely --> this makes sense, because ballard high actually has five all-state players in its backfield, thus justifying the use of "with". there's no corresponding sense of possession / belonging here.
this kills (c) and (d).

* the structure of choice (e) indicates that "this fact" is something other than the cited fact about fraternal twins' resemblance.
that kills (e).

* "it" is a pronoun with no antecedent in (c). (by contrast, in (d), "it" is fine because it's part of the special construction "it is a fact that...", which behaves in the same manner as constructions such as "it is surprising that...").

--

the correct answer is (b).

make sure that you understand that "that X does Y" is a noun clause, and can function as a noun; indeed, it's the subject of the sentence in the correct answer choice.

* the structure of choice (e) indicates that "this fact" is something other than the cited fact about fraternal twins' resemblance.
that kills (e).
我没感觉出来，THIS 不能指代前面BECAUSE从句吗？

Luannwang2011

我觉得可以把namely看成一个"=", B: That...=that... A:the fact of...(名词短语)和they...(句子)不等

不需要对等啊，这里的namely that修饰的就是feature；看几个例子：
The other change, namely the increase in electronic equipment, has slowed down.
One group of people seems to be forgotten, namely pensioners.
On the next trip, I solved part of the problem, but after discussing the situation with AB on the phone an alternative solution was at hand; namely, that from 1987 onwards I would spend my winters playing for Quenslan.
我们可以看出来，namely的用法是很灵活的，可以1）补充说明前面离他最近的名词成分；2） 补充说明句子主语；3）namely后面跟从句解释前面的名次成分。
其实，不一定非要从句对从句；这道题目就属于第三类啦

[QUOTE]That some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar highlights an interesting and often overlooked feature of fraternal-twin pairs, namely that they vary considerably
这道题的主干参看黄色突出的部分，第一个that引导主语从句，第二个that对应于第一个that。而some fraternal twins resemble each other greatly while others look quite dissimilar，这里的look对应于resemble，都是动词，中间意思转折用了while；一些孪生子彼此极其相像而另外一些看起来十分不同。
