我一共对这个问题贴出两个问题,先上第一个。关于in the economy to avoid the recession 的to作为定于修饰economy还是confidence的问题。我先贴出
bat的观点:魏小妞说to avoid修饰confidence,我有疑问:为什么可以跳跃指代economy?我对to do放在句尾的理解是:to do要么做定语修饰其邻近名词(如这里to do修饰economy),要么做句子状语修饰全句(这里做状语修饰reflect,to avoid发出者为句子主语gains)。但因为本身这种to do结构放句尾就是歧义的,所以一般都是错的。(而这也是我为什么认为to avoid在这里是错的的理由,而不是魏小妞说的to do的动作发出者是confidence,故错。) 而且最残酷的一点是to avoid在这里还不是做the economy的定语,而是其状语,表明economy去avoid和come。。to do要存在这么多的可能的话,那它一定是错的了。。。。
抓抓的观点: .关于to avoid: (1)“to do要么做定语修饰其邻近名词(如这里to do修饰economy)”
这个不定式的修饰对象从逻辑上来说不可能是economy,而有可能修饰confidence是有原因的~
印象中to do不定式很少直接单独修饰一个noun,而是经常和其他的动作连用,因为它带有一个目的性,通常我们要先有一个动作、依赖这个动作来达到一个目的,有时候看上去是修饰最近的noun,但是最近的noun很可能只是另一个重要的动作的宾语。(xohe:洗完没有断章取义老大的意思··)
我的观点:to do肯定是可以做定语的 先贴一个 og12 11题是 There are several ways to build solid walls
至于修饰confidence还是economy的问题,我觉得根据逻辑意思来判断,因为作为名词的modifier在这里是两个词都可以修饰的。根据逻辑这里只可能是economy。所以在这里B的错误就相当于because of 后面加名词和because后面加句子一样。所以og说awkward and unclear
还有一个是关于that做定于从句的 主要是这里D的解释是must休息下 。。。。下次送上····
请NN指导
