OG 186，以前也没有弄明白的

tweib

186. Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to a hotel.

(A) to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to

(B) that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to

(C) under which members of the jury are allowed to go home at the end of each day instead of confining them in

(D) that would allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than confinement in（E）

(E) to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to

我想问的是　将A改成to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than( to )　confine them to

此时应该与E一样也是正确选项吧，且是to allow 和( to )confine them to平行，逻辑主语是motion！

请大家评判

rather than 后面如果接不定式，to一定要省。语法规则，no why。

LES　MM感激，我遗漏了，已改了
我主要是想问三个不定式在一起时，它们到底是哪两个平行，共用一个修饰词，也就是逻辑主语
刚刚想到的上面的话，特精炼，颇得意，呵呵

(E) to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to

将A改成to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than to confine them to

和E相比，改后的A有另一个问题，那就是allow members of the jury (to go home ...) rahter than (to confine them ...)，第二个括号内的内容不合乎逻辑，我们可以说allow sb to go home，却不能说allow sb to confine them ...

偶觉得这个改法不对，因为根据语法来说confirm them to的逻辑主语还是members。偶判断如and，but，(rather) than等并列连词的并列成份，是从连词的右半段看起，与其左半段最靠右的相同结构为并列的部分。(表达的有点拗口，这点也不一定正确，因为是偶自己找的规律。)

个人认为，这道题怎么改都有可能牵涉到to allow, to go home和to be confined三者的平行关系，从语法角度似乎很难确定关系，但从句子的逻辑性上判断，我们可以得出to allow是顶层的，而to go home和to be confined是平行的且是下一层的，允许回家，允许不被限制在宾馆了；对于montion后的不定式，偶从这道题开始形成了一个个人经验，那就是在心里将to置换成that，经验看法，仅供参考。

补充：呵呵，好象大部分是stoneren以前说过的话

motion 后接to 或that有区别么？

motion to 强调目的；motion that 强调motion的内容。

两者的区别在使用时，有时很难感觉出来，因为目的和内容似乎很难分清，所以to/that不是关键问题，平行是决定性因素

以上已收入本人菜鸟手册，作为经典注解

讨论：a motion是允许members回家的（a motion），而不是限制members 在一个旅馆的（a motion），

我改的相信大家也承认语法没问题，关键是逻辑，stoneren　XD，我可不是顽固派

将A改成to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than( to )　confine them to

我想是没有问题的，简化成a motion to allow---(to) confine them

而E正确选项简化是 members to go home---(to)be confined to，正如stoneren解说E为什么逻辑对

脸皮厚的又来参与了

我的意见:不好.

语法上一眼看不出to confine和哪个to并列, 另外逻辑上也是E更好.(象不象ETS说的?)
