请问og150题 the rise of the moon

fr6102790

虽然不是斑竹,看在同命相连的份上(我问的问题也没人理),试解答一下.

先贴一下问题

150. In the mid-1960’s a newly installed radar warning system mistook the rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets.

(A) rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets

(B) rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack

(C) moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets

(D) moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack（B）

(E) rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attack

此题拙见应以逻辑意思为根据决定使用moon 或 the rising of the moon来作为宾语核心.

首先,此题句意为"60年代中期新安装的雷达报警系统把月亮的升起当成了苏制导弹的攻击."故B项言简意赅.

其次,mistake的用法如下:

1
to understand something wrongly
She mistook my meaning entirely. Ken mistook her concern, thinking she was interested in him for another reason.
2
you can't mistake somebody/something
used to say that someone or something is very easy to recognize
You can't mistake her. She's the one with the long red hair.
3
there is no mistaking somebody/something
used to say that you are certain about something
There's no mistaking whose children they are - they all look just like Joe.
mistake somebody/something for somebody/something phrasal verb
to wrongly think that one person or thing is someone or something else
A woman mistook him for a well-known actor, and asked him for his autograph. The doctor mistook the symptoms for blood poisoning.

不难看出,mistake sth(sb)或 mistake sth(sb) for sth(sb).这也是选B项的原因,并由此排除A.C,E两项.

而D项逻辑不通.

The original meaning of the sentence is "mistook the rising...for a massive Soviet missile attack". In another word, the rising of the moon is wrongly considered a massive Soviet missile attack.

But by making "for a massive Soviet missile attack" directly follow the verb, "was rising", D distorts the the above statement. It comes to convery a new idea that "the moon was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack", which means "for a massive Soviet missile attack" is the goal of the moon's rising.

多谢MM热心, 但是我觉得这个for是不是有什么特殊的用法呢? 其它的介词好像不会产生这种歧义吧.

不太明白楼上的在问什么,

但如果是问D项中的for,则试解答如下:

a newly installed radar warning system mistook the moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack.这个句子从字面翻译如下:

NIRWS把月亮误会了,当IT为了一个苏制导弹的攻击逐渐升起的时候.

这里IT的指代对象既可以是NIRWS也可以是月亮,但当你把二者中任何一个带进去会发现,逻辑意思均不通.

另一个解释:

mistake the moon... for a massive Soviet missile attack

这时你会发现,月亮和攻击在概念上不等,无法比较或并列.

查了Longman，rise作动词时有专门一个词条表示太阳，星星，或月亮的升起，而作名词时则没有这个意思：

sun/moon/star
            to appear in the sky [≠ set]:

The sun rises in the east.

 

所以，rise of the moon是nonidomatic的

tigercaiqun

当一个动词有相应的名词形式时,表示静止状态或结果时用其本身的名词形式,当表示动态过程(正在发生,尚未完成)时,用动名词.

具体到本题,关键是rise的用法.查字典:rise做名词时表示数量,金额,价值,薪水等的上升,没有实际物体空间位置上升的含义.这也是OG说rise of the moon是nonidiomatic的原因.而rising 是动名词表moon上升的动作过程,可同missile attack做比较.

再看OG52, A中的the rising of cost不正确, 是因为表示cost的上升应用rise的名词形式却用了rising动名词.所以OG又说The rising of costs is unidiomatic ,而C中的the rising cost, rising做形容词修饰cost表正在进行的状态,中心词是cost满足主谓一致.

查字典:rise做名词时表示数量,金额,价值,薪水等的上升,没有实际物体空间位置上升的含义.

你确定？

用google搜一下还是有　ｔｈｅ　ｒｉｓｅ　ｏｆ　ｍｏｏｎ的用法的

不好意思啊，我实在不明白你们为什么都说rise没有实际物体空间位置上升的含义，我查了下Encarta, W-M, 都说rise在做名词时，可以表示emergence (as of the sun) brove the horizon啊!!!!!!!!!!

牛津高阶上的解释：

rise   none

When you are talking about the thing that has risen, the most usual preposition to use after  rise  is  in .  

Don't say 'a rise of something', say  a rise in something :  

There has been a 2% rise in the rate of unemployment.  

  Remember:  when  rise  is followed by an amount, the correct preposition is  of :  

There has been a rise of 2%.
