请教OG 182 （them 代词问题）(多谢！）

roberta

182. Consumers may not think of household cleaning products to be hazardous substances, but many of them can be harmful to health, especially if they are used improperly.

(A)  Consumers may not think of household cleaning products to be

(B)   Consumers may not think of household cleaning products being

(C)  A consumer may not think of their household cleaning products being

(D)  A consumer may not think of household cleaning products as

(E)   Household cleaning products may not be thought of, by consumers, as

D是正确选项。可是我觉得E相对D指代更明确一些，因为E中上半句的主语是household cleaning products,和后面many of them中的them 相对应，而且是不是说这种一般都是优先指代主语的（即是household cleaning products)??不过我也承认E中用的被动语态看起来有些awkward.

而选项D虽然在此句中也不太容易歧义，因为D中前句的主语是单数形式的a  consumer，后面的them也会是指代a consumer，可总感觉有一些变扭，毕竟说是指代一般优先指代主语，是不是这样呢？？

不知大家是如何判断这个的，还请多多指教啊，谢谢！！

D是正确选项。可是我觉得E相对D指代更明确一些，因为E中上半句的主语是household cleaning products,和后面many of them中的them 相对应，而且是不是说这种一般都是优先指代主语的'优先指代主语' is not as good as 'exactly指代主语'; （即是household cleaning products)??不过我也承认E中用的被动语态看起来有些awkward.

谢谢stone斑竹帮忙把重点标示出来了！！

这看起来更pp啦～～～

不好意思，刚刚才发现自己少打了一个“不”字，我愿意是想说"them也不会是指代a customer 的，可是总觉得有些变扭....", hehe...,在此改正过来。

再次感谢stone斑竹的答复，明白了

想知道：E中是不是后面的them有可能被误认为指代sonsumers从而存在指代不清？OG好像没有对此做出解释。谢谢！

agk99

E當然也可算是指代不清

這在AB有同樣的問題

谢谢！目前正以OG为圣经的我对于一切OG中没有提到的都希望能得到确认。

But D,I do not think that there is ambigity because "them" and "they" are the same pronoun of "products",or they can not be said "are used improperly".

后面的them指代products

og 的解释并没有提及指代歧义问题。那么og应该认可通过逻辑判断限定了指代的唯一性。但通过逻辑限定避免歧义的规则是什么？请NN赐教

附上og解释

A correct sentence will follow the idiomatic form of expression to think of X as Y. Only D, the best choice, uses as in the comparison. The infinitive to be in A and the participle being in B and C cannot grammatically and idiomatically connect those choices to the rest of the sentence. Moreover, in C the plural pronoun their does not agree with the singular noun referent, consumer. E is awkward and wordy in its use of the passive voice
