不明白为啥这么多人选E的。 虽然网上找到了类似的原句, 但注意,E的写法和原句还是有本质区别的。 原句; Over commitment to a course of action is likely to make executives miss certain warning signs or misinterpret them when they do appear. 不得不承认,如果ETS照着原句出题的话,就没有这么多争议了,因为原句非常清楚的用了commitment做主语,非常好。但是: E. Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear. 光光从逻辑的角度,就可以看出,这里不仅没有必要用being committed做主语,更没有必要用分词强调现在进行的状态。 而且用being committed 来做is likely to make的主语,多少有些awkward. 不如C:
C. An executive [who is heavily committed to a course of action] is likely to miss or misinterpret signs of incipient trouble when they do appear, especially if it has worked well in the past. sombody is likey to do sth是比较常见的用法,没有逻辑搭配的错误。
问题又出来了。
E里面being committed 即使退一万步,能够做主语,能够和lilkely to make搭配,它能够明确指代是executive做commit的主语么? ----好像从没有看到过类似的用法啊。
我对C仅有的不满是it指代
it前面还有个单数名词 incipient trouble, 而且a course of action 实际上是在定从里面的,等级肯定比 trouble 低。 这里似乎只能从逻辑意思的角度来理解其指代course of action 了。
唉,罗嗦了一大堆,估计也没人看。
