According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a "soft landing," followed by a gradual increase in business activity. (A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come (B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come (C) in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come (D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come (E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
所有的问题主要就是集中在OG对于B/C/D3个选项的解释上 (B)What cannot replace that ; the economy to avoid the recession is awkward and unclear; rather to come doesnot complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically. Q1:the economy to avoid the recession is awkward and unclear 看了Manhattan forum Stacey的解析,说这个confidence in economy 不符合语言习惯,应当使用that引导从句,自己也查了下longman,确实木有发现confidence in sb to do的,基本上都是confidence in sb/sth,所以说就是因为后面跟了to do这个表达方式就是不符合习惯的对咩咩??????? longman上面confidence的例句: Our first priority is to maintain the customer's confidence in our product.The survey reveals alack of confidencein the police.She had complete confidence in the doctors.Opinion polls show that voters havelost confidence inthe administration. 可以看出"confidence in sb./sth." in后面的东西是直接导致confidence的原因。
还有一个是不定式to do的用法,参考ManhattanP250: 'Infinitives may serve as nouns, adjective, or adverbs.'下面是三种用法的例句。 noun: I love to swim. Adj.: The person to meet is here. Adv.: Sue paused to eat lunch.
然后我们再看这题B/C其实可以用语意去解决。 A. the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidencethat the economy will avoid the recession. B. the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence in the economyto avoid the recession. A/B的意思是有差别的。 A想表达the gains reflect confidence what kind of confidence?the confidence that the economy will avoid the recession
而B表达的是the gains in the stock market reflect growingconfidence in the economy the gains in the stock market reflect confidence in order to avoid the recession('to avoid" serves a verb modifier, a goal,目的状语) B是表达不出A的那种意思的,因为confidence in sth. to do sth.没有这个搭配。所以rather后面的那个并列结构也是错的。而且rather是adv.,不能用作conj.并列两个部分,至少前面也要加and。
Q2: rather to come does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically. 这个问题没得到满意的解释,再顶。。。。顶。。。。。
上面Q1回答了~~~(C) instead to come does not complete the second part of thesentence idiomatically。 同Q2回答,就是前面confidence的问题。(D)the recession must be followed by that Q4:这里这个定从 的that不能省略,因为要避免并列的歧义?可是有啥歧义呢?
同位语从句的that是不能省的,我翻了一下Manhattan和笔记都没有找到具体的rules。但是我是记得同位语从句的that是不能省的。not complete thesecond part of the sentence idiomatically. Q5:同B/C,不明白,顶 跟Q2、Q3一样。
