我的疑问也是这样:
前面加逗号的现在分词,在句尾,可不可以做定语修饰前面的名词?
前面加逗号的过去分词,在句尾,可不可以做定语修饰前面的名词?
我手头有一题,请大家看看:
The growth of he railroads led to the abolition of local times, which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing from city to city, and to the establishment of regional times. (C) which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing (D) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differed (E) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
正确答案是E,我觉得这里的determined和differing就是做定语修饰前面的local times,
刚刚又和一个GG讨论了同样的问题,他的例子是:
The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.>>
(A) world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month>>
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival's month>>
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month>>
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
上面这道题,OG11给出的答案是D,它给出的选项B错误的原因是:It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming; a clause is preferable to a phrase here.
是不是可以得出结论:
前面有逗号的现在分词,在句尾,既可以做伴随状语,又可以做定语修饰前面的名词。
而我们作题的时候就要注意这一点,要具体环境具体判断到底是做什么成分。
,大家讨论一下吧!
