我对于tianwan NN 的解释不理解的地方:(引用的地方用玫瑰色)
1, the cap of those women; the caps of those women
个人认为:前面的是指每个妇女头上的一个帽子;而后面是指妇女们的帽子(复数),可能有歧义。参考OG252、大全896、GWD 9-1(同12-1)
OG252:
Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.(A正确答案)
D In the United States, three out of every four automobile owners owns bicycles.
OG解释:In D, the singular owns does not agree with its plural subject three... owners. Furthermore, the plural bicycles detracts from clarity by suggesting that multiple bicycles are owned by each person in question. E项可能有歧义,误认为每个人有多辆自行车。
大全896:Unlike other arachnids, which have their nerve cells evenly distributed along their body,…每个动物只有一个身体,如果是bodies说明它们每个有多个身体。
GWD9-1:E正确答案。A mixture of poems and short fiction, Jean Toomer’s Cane has been called one of the three best novels ever written by a Black American—the others being Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man Answer:
这是在美国教语法20+年的教师的解答。2. Each book was written by a single individual, not by a group. Therefore, it should be "written by a Black American" rather than "by Black Americans".
the economy of B, F and G; the economies of B,F and G
请注意意思的区别。
2, 不能用the economy of B, F and G,要用也只能用that of…。名词不应该重复,不简洁。
如果用that替代,that应指代Dutch economy,而非economy,代入后会出现逻辑错误。所以我认为此种解释不通。
