请教各位OG12 Diagnostic Test里SC 第42题

42. The Supreme Court has ruled that public universities can collect student activity fees even with students' objections to particular activities, so long as the groups they give money to will be chosen without regard to their views.

Correct answer: from students who object to particular activities, so long as the groups given money are


因为这句话的意思怎么都理解不了，

so long as和前面半个分句的逻辑关系我也不是很清楚，

另外就是最后一个their的referent是什么也不清楚。


求高人指点！谢谢。。。

B, if they have objections to particular activities and the groups that are given the money are
C, if they object to particular activities, but the groups that the money is given to have to be
D, from students who object to particular activities, so long as the groups given money to are
E, though students have an objection to particular activities, but the groups that are given the money be

这是选项，求解。。

题干中最后一个their指代的只能是groups 因为最后半个句子是完整的主谓结构 通过指代原则 只能指代groups

被楼主一说的话 我发现so long as解释起来我也不是很明白 求解

首先回答你们的疑问，so long as和as long as一样，都表示条件。所以A选项用will，错！而且能省去不用定语从句，尽量不要用。
选项BC，they指代大学的话，逻辑上说不过去。
选项E，but the groups that are given the money be中使用be原形，没有依据。


对于整句话的意思是说：法院判定大学可以向学生收取活动费，尽管这些学生对其中的部分活动表示反对，而这一切的条件是the groups given money to are chosen without regard to their views。最后半句不知道，group应该是活动承办方（被给钱），their应该是代指学生，因为前面谈过学生反对，就涉及了学生的观点。强翻的话，就是：不顾学生的想法，选择那群拿钱举办活动的团体。
