146. A patient accusing a doctor of malpractice will find it difficult to prove damage if there is a lack of some other doctor to testify about proper medical procedures.
(A) if there is a lack of some other doctor to testify
(B) unless there will be another doctor to testify
(C) without another doctor's testimony
(D) should there be no testimony from some other doctor
(E) lacking another doctor to testify
请教这里C中without another doctor's testimony是应该修饰主语a patient 还是damage?
E lacking有应该修饰主语还是做定语修饰damage呢?
lacking直接跟在damage后,优先做定语修饰damage,逻辑意思错误.
定语的修饰对象有:名词、名词短语、代词
状语的修饰对象有:动词、形容词、另一副词、介词、连词、整个句子。
在此我认为without another doctor's testimony应该是修饰前面整个句子,表示伴随状态。
那分词在有可能作定语,又有可能作状语的情况下,应改作什么?还是可以理解
为修饰有歧义?
是的,有歧义。
所以如果“with/without引导的介词短语前面是名词”,就要仔细看下,逻辑上能不
能当定语和状语。
今天看了菜鸟手册里也有解释说with短语一般优先向前修饰主语,其实也就是你
说的那个意思了。
分词就是优先作定语,但是要看看逻辑上是不是作状语修饰主语。
