选3。
平行结构:要省全省,要全都全。
1)as well as 应该是and;pass laws应该是 to pass laws
2)pass =》to pass作者: ymtdh 时间: 2002-11-25 14:43
[em19]1是对的。
平行结构中的动宾平行,一般宾语是不同的,所以用动宾结构平行表述。若宾语相同,则一般并列动词,而不并列动宾(有重复之嫌)。所以三中的表述不理想,改为allows voters to propose ,pass and repeal laws会更好些。
与之相比,1的表述是规范的。allows voters to propose and pass laws, as well as to repeal them 。一方面是表达两个相反的意思,所以把propose,pass和repeal分开;另一方面,用them代替laws避免了重复。作者: yiyuan05 时间: 2002-11-25 19:01
