OG150

byebyelove

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

I want to know  "the rising of the moon"  = "the rising moon"

However,in OG52 ,why "the rising cost " is better than "the rising of costs"

Thanks for help!!!

不同习惯表达。

没有the rising of costs这一用法，可能的表达是 the rise in costs.

但没有the rise in moon. 有the rise of moon，但和the rising of moon意思应该有所不同。

我的疑问正在这里，

the rise of moon  和 the rising of moon 有什么区别啊？

记得在其它题目中OG说过当动词本身可以作名词的时候，用其本身必用ving要好。（回头找出例子）

可是这里OG又明确地说：Choice E also employs the nonidiomatic rise of the moon.。但是rise是可以作名词的。

请问谁能帮助解释一下。谢谢先。

I have the same question as 3rd floor has.

关键还是看对核心词的理解；还要看句意中强调的是动作本身还是一种状态；

og52中核心词是cost，rising修饰cost；rising of cost变成强调rising了！

og150中，强调的是rising，所强调的是一个动作或单个行为，这一点可以从for a attack体现；同时也体现了gmat的思想：越对称越好；rise表示的是一种状态，放在句中，显然和语义及逻辑不符。

至于用动词同源的名词比动名词好，这是lzm的说法，太绝对，未必正确。

在longman中rise做名词rise　of有两种解释１the achievement of importance, success or power　２an increase in number, amount, or value　本句rise要体现的是动作，故the rising of moon 要好于the rise of moon

中心词的概念说的真详细, 谢谢,

但我还是不懂为什么 OG 要说是 Nonidiomatic?

and what's the difference between Nonidiomatic and Unidiomatic 呢??

谢谢指导
