yeah, exactly! <br />u r welcome<img src="/static/legacy-emoticon/0.gif" emoticon="[em:0]" alt="" /><div style="text-align:right;">-- by 会员 <u>babybearmm</u> (2012/3/23 8:36:11)</div><br /><br />

<br />baby, <br /><br />请问OG-21的选项D及E是因为不符合下面的哪个原则而不能在句末跟", drawing"吗? 因为关于D选项时态的解释显然和OG-78自相矛盾。<br /><br /><strong>(A)</strong><br /><strong>it MODIFIES THE ENTIRE ACTION of the preceding clause, and it APPLIES TO THE SUBJECT of that clause;</strong><br /><strong></strong><strong>AND</strong><br /><strong></strong><strong>(B)</strong><br /><strong>one of the following is true:</strong><br /><strong>(1) the "ing" action is SIMULTANEOUS with, and SUBORDINATE to, the main action;</strong><br /><strong>- i ran down the sidewalk, flapping my arms wildly</strong><br /><strong>(2) the "ing" action is a DIRECT AND IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE of the main action.</strong><br /><strong>- i got a 100 on the most recent exam,bringing my average up to 91</strong><div style="text-align:right;">-- by 会员 <u>mongmong</u> (2012/4/4 18:47:50)</div><br /><br />

<br /><br /><strong>(B)</strong><br /><strong>one of the following is true:</strong><br /><strong>(1) the "ing" action is SIMULTANEOUS with, and SUBORDINATE to, the main action;</strong><br /><strong>- i ran down the sidewalk, flapping my arms wildly</strong><br /><strong>(2) the "ing" action is a DIRECT AND IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCE of the main action.</strong><br /><strong>- i got a 100 on the most recent exam,bringing my average up to 91</strong><br /><br />不符合以上我highlight的文字。你不妨仔细体会一下,是否simultaneous with?是否"direct and immediate consequence"?相信你能体会到。<br /><br />Again,我认为这不是rule,不是说把Ron这段话背下来就能保证v-ing不出错。你随便找一篇NYT, economist, etc.上的文章,我敢说这里面几乎不可能没有"comma + v-ing"。因为这个结构在英语里太常见了!看多了,判断思路就是:句子想表达什么意思?ok,理解了句意,那么这个意思用"comma + v-ing"表达是否makes sense? 比如OG-21的D和E就都不make sense. <br /><br />但是,我觉得你问的问题非常好,要感谢你<img src="/static/legacy-emoticon/0.gif" emoticon="[em:0]" alt="" /><br />因为看你的提的这个问题,我才明白了为什么那么多同学会坚持跟我说什么“主句是完成时,那么就不能接comma+v-ing"。原来都是来源于OG-21 D/E。<br />但,我要谴责xdf,那说法误人子弟!OG没错,但xdf这说法是属于只抓住皮毛,而未抓住精髓。为什么?咱从时态角度来分析。<br /><br />Having read a bunch of Ron's threads on v-ing and verb tense, I conceive of v-ing is such that:<br /><strong>IF v-ing serves as a verb form, i.e. not a gerund or an adj.</strong><br /><strong>THEN <span style="background-color:#feed9b;">the v-ing action is attached to the pertinent time frame</span>. </strong><br /><font size="2">Speaking of "<strong>time frame</strong>", I mean - somewhat similar to the <strong>reference frame</strong> in physics: we always define the reference frame (with respect to the observer) when working with any mechanics problem. Same principle applies to the verb tense issue in the English language. </font><br /><br />Here I provide some simple examples:<br /><strong>Example 1: </strong>when is the action of "cleaning the street" taken place in each of the following cases?<br /><em>I saw a man cleaning the street.</em><br /><em>I see a man cleaning the street. </em><br /><em>I will see a man cleaning the street. </em><br /><br /><strong>Example 2:</strong> OG-12 QUESTION 95, correct sentence as below:<br /><em>The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, <strong>with crests and troughs that <span style="background-color:#2690fe;">remain</span> stationary although the air that forms them <span style="background-color:#4af7fe;">is moving</span> rapidly</strong>, is known as</em> <em>“standing waves.”</em><br />Question: why does the author use "is moving" not "moves"?<br />See here for Ron's response: <a href="http://www.beatthegmat.com/the-peaks-of-a-mountain-range-t12830-15.html" target="_blank">http://www.beatthegmat.com/the-peaks-of-a-mountain-range-t12830-15.html<br /></a><br />以上两个例子,是想说明一个很重要的concept,关于v-ing:<br /><strong><span style="background-color:#feed9b;">the v-ing action is attached to the pertinent time frame</span></strong><br />基于此,你就能理解Ron说的:为什么要是<strong>simultaneous</strong>,或者要是<strong>immediate</strong> consequence?<br />就是因为必须是attached to the time frame!!!!<br /><br />那么看OG12 Q21 的D/E选项:<br />Neuroscientists have amassed bla bla <span style="background-color:#dffeaa;">over the past 20 yrs</span>, <span style="background-color:#a8f32a;">now</span> drawing bla bla. <br />见上句的highlighting,这两个动作所在的time frames根本就不同,相当于力学里我们在A参照系里研究事件X、然后又在B参照系里研究事件Y,所以就压根不能用v-ing来表述后面那个事件,因为后面那个事件根本就CANNOT be attached to the time frame A. <br />这就是为什么OG说的是:<br />The final descriptor in present tense, now<br />drawing conclusions … does not fit the<br />opening clause, which is in present-perfect<br />tense (have amassed a wealth …)<br />而根本不是像xdf那么归纳的所谓"v-ing"不能连完成时。他们只能看到外衣,没能体察灵魂!<br /><br />对比一下OG12 Q78<br />Fossils of the arm of a sloth, found in Puerto Rico in 1991, <span style="background-color:#fef4c4;">have been dated</span> at 34 million years old, <span style="background-color:#fee573;">making</span> the sloth the earliest known mammal on the Greater Antilles Islands.<br />看看这里, 就是attached to the pertinent time frame。对不对?"making ..."这个事件是和"have been dated"这个事件位于同一个time frame. <br />所以说这里v-ing就是makes sense. 而不能说什么v-ing就不能跟着完成时。<br /><a href="http://www.beatthegmat.com/the-peaks-of-a-mountain-range-t12830-15.html" target="_blank"></a><div style="text-align:right;">-- by 会员 <u>babybearmm</u> (2012/4/5 7:18:32)</div><br /><br />

<br /><br />Thanks baby <img src="/static/legacy-emoticon/0.gif" emoticon="[em:0]" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />我其实还有疑问: <br /><br /><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">关于OG-21题的DE选项和78题的时态的矛盾,我觉得是不是这样的:</span></font><br /><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">1) 关于78题, 我们可以确认的是,一,从句子意思上分析,“making ...” 不表伴随, <u>表结果</u>, 二,其主句时态是完成时态;</span></font><br /><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">2) 21题", drawing..."不表伴随(从句子意义上分析,</span></font><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">havin</span><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">g amassed a wealth of knowledge 不可以要求drawing solid conclusions伴随);</span></font><br /><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">3) 21题", drawing"也不能表结果, 原因有三个,</span></font><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">一是1)推理来的</span></font><img src="/static/legacy-emoticon/0.gif" emoticon="[em:0]" alt="" /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">, </span></font><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">二是我感觉句末表结果的verb通常是“无实意的动词”比如bringing (the number of ... to 34)-OG47, making (the sloth the earliest known mammal...)-OG78. 如果是drawing solid conclusions这样的“实意的动词”,就不适合做结果了。</span></font><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">三是</span></font><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">来自</span></font><a href="http://forum.chasedream.com/space/601410.html" target="_blank">99qiuqiu</a><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">的解释,我觉得也有参考意义: “</span></font><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;"><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">now drawing 和drawing 在语气上是有区别的,作者有强调后面句子的intent,所以are now drawing 是main verb.</font></span><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">” </span></font><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;"><font size="1"><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#d4f8cf;">http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-695474-1-1.html?postid=16132153&searchmode=TopicContent&searchtext=Neuroscientists%20havin#last</span></font></font></span><br /><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;"><font size="1"><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br /></font></font></span><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;"><font size="1"><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"></font></font></span><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">我疑问地是,主句是完成时时,",ving" 在句末是错误的这个规则倘若存在,是不是仅限于", ving"表伴随时?</span></font><br /><br /><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">我觉得关于</span></font><u>完成时态</u><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">后面不能跟,ving的说法很奇怪,那为什么独独只对完成时有这个要求,</span></font><u>一般过去时</u><font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">也是描述过去发生的事,就可以跟,ving。看了baby给出的解释和例子,有点明白了。</span></font><div style="text-align:right;">-- by 会员 <u>mongmong</u> (2012/4/5 9:27:58)</div><br />

<br />我觉得你说的关于这两道OG题目的这些123点很有道理啊,没错就这样的。<br />"<font face="Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:#fbfeff;">我疑问地是,主句是完成时时,",ving" 在句末是错误的这个规则倘若存在,是不是仅限于", ving"表伴随时?</span></font>"<br />I would be cautious in saying that.... <br />Frankly, I would not consider this a rule and remember it; rather I would make my own judgement based on the particular sentence that I am facing, i.e. based on <strong>case-by-case logic</strong>. This approach would make SC study much simpler. As Ron and a lot of NN abroad agree, there are <strong>only a handful of rules</strong> in GMAT SC. So, <strong>just make it simple</strong>. <br />Logically speaking, <strong>Occam's Razor</strong> (<a href="http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/OCCAMRAZ.html" target="_blank">http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/OCCAMRAZ.html</a>) applies here. |
