OG13 SC 120救命！！

meesh

   120. The WorldWildlife Fund has delcared that global warming, a phenomenon most scientistsagree to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels, will createhavoc among migratory bird by altering the environmeng in ways harmful to theirhabitats.
(A)a phenomenon most scientistsagree to be caused by human beings in burning fossil fuels，
(B) a phenomenon most scientists agree that is caused by fossil fuels burned by human beings,
(C) a phenomenon that most scientists agree is caused by human beings’ burning of fossil fuels,
(D) which mostscientists agree on as a phenomenon caused by human beings who burn fossil fuels,
(E) which mostscientists agree to be a phenomenon caused by fossil fuels burned by humanbeings,

      这题选c， 我能理解为什么that一定要紧跟在phenomenon之后。我feel confused的是：
      1. c选项中，“most scientists agree" 算是个什么成分？
      2. agree后面难道不用加个that吗，变成a phenomenon that most scientists agree that is caused by human beings’ burning of fossil fuels不会更通畅吗？
     3. agree后面紧接的就是is，两个动词可以直接这样接吗？就是感觉很奇怪啊。。。
       窝基础不太好。。还请各位大神帮助在下搞清楚一下啊～～！！！！

此句法叫嵌入式关系分句

a phenomenon后面的that既是phenomenon定语从句的先行词，在定语从句中做主语：a phenomenon that is caused by…；

也是一个宾语从句的引导词： Most scientists agree that a phenomenon is caused by…

噢好像懂一点了～ 但是还是想问一下“ most scientists agree" 在这里是个什么性质的phrase啊，它是后置定语修饰” a phenomenon" 吗？

不是后置定语。
可以理解为定语从句和宾语从句糅合在一起了，most scientists agree是宾语从句的主语，而宾语从句嵌到了定语从句之中；

复制一段prep08语法笔记：

一个普遍的误读是：说most scientists agree 是插入语，虽然是没加逗号！（此解释绝对是误人子弟！！！）
    今天我翻遍章振邦的《新编英语语法》（CD上有下载），在1193—1395页赫然发现一个语法词条——嵌入式关系分句，详解如下：
    “有一种关系分句（即定语从句），它既是先行项的后置修饰语（即定语），同时又是另外一个分句结构的宾语（即宾语从句）”此分句结构就被嵌入在定语从句中，即嵌入式关系分句。
    该书举例：In his breast-pocket he had a patch of scarlet, which i suppose was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief.
注意两点：
1）从句which was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 首先是 patch of scarlet的定语从句。         
2）从句which（patch of scarlet） was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 也是i suppose 的宾语从句，即I suppose that the patch of scarlet was the paper cap serving as a handkerchief 。
综上所述，当一个定语从句同时是另一个主谓结构的宾语从句是，就可以写为嵌入式关系分句

不知道LZ初中。。或小学的时候。。就是Han Meimei 的那种课本里，有一个句型叫  Which one do you think is better?  句子就等于Which one (do you think) is better? 把do you think 理解成一种插入语。 跟这题的a phenomenon that (most scientists agree) is... 一样的

噢！楼上说的好浅显易懂！学到了~：）

你说的真透彻，我原来以为C项少了一个“that”，因为我觉得phenomenon要做agree的宾语的话应该再在agree后面加个”to which“或者”that“，然后后面的定语从句需要”that“做主语，所以我觉得应该有俩个that，不过从这里的分析看that+句子可以直接做agree的宾语，所以C项对而B项不对；但是我还是想问，在D项中，which引导的非限定从作为插入语不行吗？
