Based on accounts of various ancient writers , scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, “the good goddess.”
(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers,
(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts,
(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used for a basis,
(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers they used,
(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers,
答案选A,想请教大虾们:
1,OG上解释说B的basing it on 中,it 指代不明, 我不明白它为什么指代不清;
2,D中,using accounts of 是什么含义哦,看起来好awkward额 ,
感激不尽,望解答.....作者: seanceserene 时间: 2011-3-16 20:03
我刚也在这道题上卡住了,答案应该是E
B中的it是指代不明,它有可能指后面的主语scholars,也有可能指宾语,所以不对
E中,Using作为动名词出现,accouts of various ancient writers是一堆的,用来修饰
thx for 楼上的对第二个问题的解释,
但是B答案中中 it 怎么可以指代复数的 scholars 呢?我感觉它只能指代a sketchy picture 额,还是不知道OG的指代不明之说的由来....作者: dontwannalos 时间: 2011-3-17 20:40
试回答:
1,OG上解释说B的basing it on 中,it 指代不明, 我不明白它为什么指代不清;
it没有指代对象。句子意思是:基于很多古代作家的描述,学者画出了一幅略图.....
A的意思是学者基于描述而产生,语义上不通。
应该是略图基于描述而产生。所以B中的it本应该指代a sketchy picture,但此处从语法上来讲it没有指代对象。
it这种代词,一般是指代上文出现过的东西,不可能指代的对象都还没有出现,代词it就先出现了。B选项it前面没有什么名词。比如:
正确:i have an apple,and i eat it.
错误:i have it,and i eat the apple.

供讨论:
认为楼上后半部分解释合理,
对于base on, 字典解释, if you base one thing on another thing, the first
thing develops from the second thing. 根据句意,这里it 指代sketchy picture 相
