77. Though the term “graphic design” may suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging work, from package designs and company logotypes to signs, book jackets, computer graphics, and film titles.
(A) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging
(B) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, it has come to signify a wide range of
(C) suggest corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified widely ranging
(D) have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a wide range of(B)
(E) have suggested laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging
Choice A contains an agreement error: the term requires the singular it has in place of the plural they have. Furthermore, widely ranging is imprecise: graphic design work does not range about widely but rather comprises a wide range of activities. Choice C contains widely ranging and, like D, fails to use a verb form such as laying out to define the activities, instead presenting an awkward noun phrase: corporate brochure and annual report layout. The present perfect tense is used inappropriately in choices C (has signified), D (have suggested... has signified), and E (have suggested) to indicate recently completed rather than ongoing action. Additionally, E contains the incorrect they have and the imprecise widely ranging. Choice B is best.
og 解释说:D fails to use a verb form such as laying out to define the activities, instead presenting an awkward noun phrase: corporate brochure and annual report layout.
关于“the term “graphic design” may suggest ”,我认为the term“graphic design” 是个noun,它suggest的内容也应该是noun(phrase),而不是activities。
请大家来讨论。
graphic design(图形设计), 重心在design上, “动作感”强,应对应一个“动作感”强的名词。layout更倾向于设计出来的结果,“状态感”强。下面的equations可以帮助理解:
"graphic design" = the activities of laying out brochures and reports (对, 图形设计是“设计手册和报告(的活动)”)
"graphic design" = the layout of brochures and reports (错,图形设计显然不是“手册和报告的设计(样式)”)
