220. For almost a hundred years after having its begin-ning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.
(D) During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,
(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,
一直对D,E很迷惑,看了解释也没明白。
Choice D is awkward and unidiomatic, and nonsensically suggests that a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788. Precise and idiomatically phrased, choice E is best.
可以看看刘振民的语法改错精解的最后一题.During + 具体时段.如:during the first decade, during the late 1950's. 而a hundred years 是模糊时段.Over + 具体/模糊时段.如ver 20 years, over the next 3 years, over a period...作者: maryland 时间: 2002-11-9 13:36

不好意思,刚发现后面还有这么热烈的讨论。只是更糊涂了。
(E) Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788
这里的beginging修饰years还是period,如果修饰years不是还是把a hundred years 定义为开始于1788年。还是分词修饰的话,就不是给前面的名词下定义,而只是起修饰作用?
