gwd12-31,32新疑问？

ztlbox

嗯，又掌握了一个很重要的语法点

bose0008

Q31, A is wrong if we compare the balance of sentence structure of A & E.

A: Emily's letters to Susan were written over a period ... outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

E: Emily's letters to Susan... outnumber her letters to anyone else.

The focus of expression is different in the above two structures. E is more sound & logical than A.

We can only understand the tense in E as an expression of a fact, not as sth happened in the past. (reluctantly)

同意楼上的观点。从平行的角度考虑，确实是E更优一些。

vincentcpu

這題 A 跟  E 實在有點棘手

A 的缺點

     1) 整句的句意重點變成 信在那一段時間是重點 outnumber 變成句意的伴隨發生 不合邏輯, 因為你把伴隨的動作 outnumbering 拿掉後

      2) 如果說明信在哪一段時間寫的是這句話的重點 那就大大違反另外一個 主動優先的原則 ED's letters were writen in...... ==> ED wrote the letters in ....... ETS 不會允許前面這種被動語態的表達方式的

Q32:

Prospecting for gold during the California gold rush was a relatively easy task, because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for anybody with a pan or shovel.

1. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for


2. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of


3. owing to erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that had thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of


4. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for


5. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach of

覺得沒有人討論這一題？？？答案如果是E的話，意思怪怪的…
E===>…因為侵蝕，史前冰河的移動與古代有金子的河床被火山活動推擠到地表上…
紅色的部份被推擠到地表上…這樣不是很怪？

since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for
我選D===>因為侵蝕，史前冰河的移動與火山活動將古代有金子的河床推擠到地表上…
紅色的部份將有金子的河床推擠到地表上
藍色部份putting修飾since子句的名詞…

不知道這樣對不對？？？

sorry, I knew what the problem is...^^

以下是引用ztlbox在2004-10-3 12:50:00的发言：

Q31:

Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

1. Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering
   
   



2. Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber


3. Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886and outnumbering


4. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering


5. Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

the answer is e, i am wondering why not a?

outnumbering做伴随情况状语。e中，我认为时态是有问题的，outnumber 是过去发生的事情，应该是outnumbered 才对。

还有一个问题，末句中her letters ，her指代什么，前面的Emily Dickinson’s 是所有格形式出现的,后面的her肯定不能指emily, 但根据逻辑意思，它只能指emily, 难道又一个语法规则要被打破？

Q32:

Prospecting for gold during the California gold rush was a relatively easy task, because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for anybody with a pan or shovel.

1. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for


2. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of


3. owing to erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that had thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of


4. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for


5. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach of

请教一下，since 后面必须跟句子，不能只接名词，是这样吗？

但e中，erosion, movement 是动作性名词，riverbed是具体名词，不符合平行结构的要求啊，nn能解释一下吗？

谢谢

Q31 的E outnumber的时态不对应该直接cancel. A is correct

小女公子

同意选E，但是为什么这里outnumber不用过去时呢 ？

Avantasia

可以理解为一个对于事实的讲述，没必要用过去时。

怎么就是没有人肯回答楼上诸楼对32题的疑问啊？

华籍美人

32题：Since引导原因状语从句，结构清晰；within reach of符合习惯用法; thrust的过去分词和原形一样，所以是修饰riverbeds；

其他选项：

A because of只能引导短语，不能引导从句

B/C 的because of / owing to结构+that从句是种很啰嗦的用法，且and 连接的结构不平行； C中更有讲owing to 与putting并列之嫌

D中since一般引导的是从句，而且putting 变成了只就近修饰surface，逻辑意思不对了。
