以下是引用tweib在2004-8-3 23:04:00的发言:11. Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, “the good goddess.” (A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers (B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts (C) With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis (D) By the accounts of various ancient writers they used(E) (E) Using accounts of various ancient writers 查了一下,有关问题,见http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=55820 但我想求教的是:(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts 如果去掉it 也可以的 即理解成scholars basing on various ancient writer's accounts,才有后面scholars have painted a sketchy picture -- 所以it我反而觉得是不是多了才错的,但OG却认为B选项是因为it没有清晰指代对象才错的! OG对C选项的解释很模糊,就一句C and D are also wordy and awkward,我认为With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis是修饰主语scholars的伴随状语,错在used for a basis,可能修饰writers了,有点混淆了,正确的用法应该是Using accounts of various ancient writers for a basis,这将会比E更好!不知大家同意否 (B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts 如果去掉it 也可以的 即理解成scholars basing on various ancient writer's accounts,才有后面scholars have painted a sketchy picture -- 所以it我反而觉得是不是多了才错的,但OG却认为B选项是因为it没有清晰指代对象才错的!
