GWD 9-15 再问一下

我也是弄不清A过去完成时态，才选了D

现在觉得还是A最好

想桐桐的蝎子

多么希望自己能多对一道题啊，但是看来看去，尽管我原来是选D，因为受到injure影响和那个逗号，现在都明白了，所以最后支持A，只是考试就很难在短时间内想得那么明白了,thx!!说下面的话的NN

这题说一点我的看法：很多人质疑为什么在本题中，A选项中明明并列的两个动词injured 和discharged之间用了and还要用“，”；也有人问because she had become too ill to serve不可能发生在什么时候之前。

把两个问题综合起来看就清楚了：首先，she become too ill to serve 应该是指发生在was discharged in 1783之前，而既不是join也不是injure之间，换句话说就是仅修饰最后半个句子，所以作者在这里特意用“，”把后半个句子和前面一堆东东区分开就是为了避免歧义。

GMAT的题真是越看越有味道，有时让人有种拍案叫绝的冲动

and was discharged in 1783 because she had become too ill to serve.

这个句子用完成时态是不需要考虑那么多的,

表现在持续完成的动作：I have become too old to join the army.

表过去持续完成的动作　　Ｉhad become too old to join the army in 1998.

injured 可以做为形容词，injured three times 形容词短语做插入语，类似于下题的用法

42. The current administration, being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports
                    failing to increase as a result of deep cuts in the value of the dollar, has formed a group to study ways to sharpen our competitiveness.

(A)  being worried over some foreign trade barriers being removed and our exports failing

(B)  worrying over some foreign trade barriers being removed, also over the failure of our exports

(C)  worried about the removal of some foreign trade barriers and the failure of our exports

(D)  in that they were worried about the removal of
                some foreign trade barriers and also about the
                failure of our exports

(E)  because of its worry concerning the removal of
                some foreign trade barriers, also concerning
                the failure of our exports

Choice C is best because its phrasing is parallel and concise. A, D, and E begin with unnecessarily wordy phrases. Choice C also uses the idiomatic expression worried about rather than worried over (as in A) or worrying over (as in B); worried about is preferable when describing a condition rather than an action. Whereas C uses compact and parallel noun phrases such as the removal... and the failure ... , the other choices employ phrases that are wordy, awkward, or nonparallel. D is also flawed in that the plural pronoun they does not agree with the singular noun administration.

如上，如果可以排除injured 的主动被动性的问题，我觉得D中的时态was discharged because she was too ill to serve要比A中的was discharged because she had been too ill to serve 要好一些。

所以D中，全句的结构就是she joined...and was discharged..., injured 是形容词短语做插入语

觉得还是D好一点，请指教

injure字典上例句：There are two people injured in the car accident.  直接就是受伤，明显没有伤害别人的意思。

对于A，认为完成时没有必要

以下是引用果果428在2004-11-18 18:56:00的发言：

Dressed as a man and using the name Robert Shurtleff, Deborah Sampson, the first

woman to draw a soldier’s pension, joined the Continental Army in 1782 at the age of 22,

was injured three times, and was discharged in 1783 because she had become too ill to

D. 22, injured three times, and was discharged in 1783 because she was

E. 22, having been injured three times and discharged in 1783, being

D为什么不对？injured 问什么要用被动？ 还有问什么原因状从用完成时？谢谢！

看了前人那么多帖子，我来说一下我自己的认识。我觉得injure是及物动词如果是D的话，后面一定要接一个宾语才行，这样几个动词并列。所以只能选A

以下是引用onebowl在2005-10-8 17:40:00的发言：

in‧jure / ˈɪndʒə $ -ər / [transitive]
1
to hurt yourself or someone else, for example in an accident or an attack
ￚsee also woundAngus injured his leg playing rugby yesterday. be badly/seriously/critically injured Two people have been critically injured in a road accident.
2
injure somebody's pride/feelings etc
to say unfair or unpleasant things that hurt someone's pride, feelings etc
see usage note damage 2


所以我还是保留选D的意见

你的hurt的例子 似乎都是及物动词吧

我觉得hurt的用法有点象rise等动词.  The price has been rised.......///// We will rise the cost of the product.......

被动的时候就不及物了, 主动的时候 后面要有对象, 比如rise sth.  or   hurt sb.

这道题我也选了D

不过现在看样子A更准确, 而且because和第三个分句除了句子意思联系紧密以外, 中间也没有逗号或者其他间隔.

请指正!

以下是引用xiangqinzh在2006-10-22 20:03:00的发言：

and was discharged in 1783 because she had become too ill to serve.

这个句子用完成时态是不需要考虑那么多的,

表现在持续完成的动作：I have become too old to join the army.

表过去持续完成的动作　　Ｉhad become too old to join the army in 1998.

.

Ｉhad become too old to join the army in 1998. 这句话有个潜台词----till then.

即:Till then,
        Ｉhad become too old to join the army in 1998.

也就是说, 过去完成时态也是结合上下文的情景才使用的. 如果仅仅是表示过去某以时刻的状态, 我想还是直接用一般过去时比较好, 这就是它为什么叫"simple past" tense 了
