By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official national and international speed records, and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
By 1940, the pilot Jacqueline Cochran held seventeen official nationaln ad international speed records,and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be of dangerously experimental design.
(A) and she earned them at a time when aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
(B) earning them at a time that aviation was still so new for many of the planes she flew to be
(C) earning these at a time where aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
(D) earned at a time in which aviation was still so new such that many of the planes she flew were
(E) earned at a time when aviation was still so new that many of the planes she flew were
答案说B C选项时是这样解释的:The word earning takes the pilot herself, not the records, as its subject. However, earningis close to the records, not to Jacqueline Cochran, making this sentence hard to understand.
疑问:
1,根据曼哈顿第90页的下方解释,V.ing用法是既修饰动词又跟被修饰的动词的主语有逻辑关系,在B中,earning的主语可以看做是 the pilot JC,JC earn 这个逻辑为什么不对?为什么OG解释说record 是earn的主语?
2,我理解为 V.ing在这里是P held seventeen official nationaln ad international speed records 这个动作的一个伴随结果或者是一个伴随动作,为什么V.ing在这里这么解释不通?
