The Waller stein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.
A.occurring when a child B.occurring when children C.that occurred when a child D.that occurred when they were children E.that has occurred as each was a child
OG上的解释为: A:The original sentence has two problems. (1)The phrasing implies that the young men and women had divorced in childhood.(2) The word child does not agree with the plural antecedent men and women. E:Each does not agree with men and women.
问题: 1、黄色底色部分的解释不太明白,为什么the phrasing implies that the young men and women had divorced in childhood? 2、红色底色部分的解释不太明白,each的单复数不用和men and women一致吧。。。
1.when a child 修饰 that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring。而when they were children 修饰 that occurred 。
另外关于each,有一种说法是:因为each指代the whole phrase,所以这里是:"each man-and-woman-as-a-unit" (or maybe as a pair) ,但是我们实际上是想让 each 指代: "each man" and "each woman."~ 但是我个人认为这种解释有点难以理解,至少考试的时候很难想到~,其实从as和时态就可以排除E。AS表示同时发生的动作,这里明显不合适~
