计划发展7。5英亩海滩，Cleveland 是 Great Lakes 地区众多 社区中唯一一个想凭傍水的条件去提高城镇生活水平和吸引新的企业的。作者: Louisa_xy 时间: 2003-1-4 12:20
1.在A里 as a way 是多余的
look to sb. to do 是固定搭配
2. 我猜想 but 不是only的意思，而是表示否定
整个句子意思是：Cleveland计划开发7.5英亩的海滩，不是 Great Lakes 地区众多 社区中想凭傍水的条件去提高城镇生活水平和吸引新的企业的。

agree with Louisa_xy. I doubt how hardfish got the "同理" as in "only one of sths. that .... 从句谓语用单数。同理， but one of sths that ...也应用单数。可是。。。". Actually, if you are sure of LZM's rules, the rules can save you a lot of time. Why not understand and remember and use them? Don't 死记硬背 though.作者: hardfish 时间: 2003-1-5 03:29
The reason why I said "同理“ is that I thought "but" is equal to "only" in this case, and I am still not convinced to drop it.作者: justag 时间: 2003-1-5 14:13
A is but B-->A is nothing except B; A is just B.作者: freagle 时间: 2003-1-5 16:53
"but" cannot serves as adjective,so it modifies the verb "is". however "only" of "the only one" directly modifies "one".therefore, in cases of two different modifications,the following clause has different antecedents. when "but", the modified word is "communities",but when "only", it is "the only one".作者: justag 时间: 2003-1-6 05:08
agree with freagle. Applause, pipapipipa~~~~~
