偶第一次在语法区发贴，刚才仔细阅读了班规，假如还有不和要求的地方，麻烦各斑竹和朋友提醒，偶一定及时改正。

1.        The filibuster, a parliamentary device that slows the snail’s pace that prevails even in the best of times in congressional sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems more and more an anachronism in the age of telecommunications.

(A) sessions and tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems

(B) sessions and tests the endurance of everyone who is associated with it, seeming to be

(C) sessions, tests the endurance of everyone associated with it, seems

(D) sessions, that tests the endurance of everyone associated with it and seems

(E) sessions, testing the endurance of everyone associated with it and seeming

偶不明白的地方：

1，同位语从句中，第二个that(pace后面的那个）在句子中作什么成份，有引导了一个什么从句？

2，snail的愿意是蜗牛，在这里应该怎么解释呢（是不是不该问这个）

lilyzy

1) 是定语从句修饰snail's pace.

2) 减慢蜗牛的速度.

mutegirl

谢谢斑竹

可是我还是觉得在这里理解为 减慢蜗牛的速度好像解释不通阿，前后好像都在说国会的一个device

mutegirl

The key is (A), however, I ruled out (A) because that is not used between and and tests. Why there is no that ? is it acceptable to omit that ?

这是之前的一个帖子，问得也是这个题目

我把他贴过来

大家可以一起讨论

lilyzy

that 在不会引起歧义的时候, 是可以省略的,

减慢蜗牛的速度: 是一个比喻.

以下是引用lilyzy在2005-1-18 23:45:00的发言：

that 在不会引起歧义的时候, 是可以省略的,

减慢蜗牛的速度: 是一个比喻.

他的意思是说在text 之前 加一个that ?

greatvampire

好像that只有在表语从句结构中才一定不能省略吧

比如...are that... and that...

此句的第二个that就一定不能省

而在定语从句中是不是一定要省略that呢？

因为我感觉ETS都是prefer简洁的

就像虚拟语气中的should是一定要省略的
