大家消消气啦.......呵呵....
试试解解看:
Q33: After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.
A. tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help E. tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help
首先, 我同意(A)
After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit. that的跳跃修饰在OG不是没有, canoe那题, 法庭require男女equal pay那题, 还有市场out of.......那题, 再加上RC里有一些也是跳跃修饰......
这里为何跳跃修饰, 是因为英文语法里避免头重脚轻, 想想 jet engine后面拖一个那么长的that 从句(ADJ clause) that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit
后面再接一个is being tested的确让人混乱, 所以这种跳跃修饰是合理的
其次是逻辑问题: jet engine的that从句用了情态动词could, 代表假设的成分, 换句话说, 这个"可能(could)"....怎样的jet engine 正在被测试, 逻辑上我不觉得有何问题
说说(E)吧!!
E. tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help
1.共用同一个主语, 就不用再用代词来再描述, 这里的" , and it" 用起来不是很简洁
2.could和have the capability意思重复多余, 这在OG里的例子也不少, 像today.....now, potentially.......may....., 也是很不简洁
3. 纵观(A)(E), (A)的确简洁 |
