GWD-15-Q39:

Five hundred million different species of living creatures have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them vanishing.

1. Five hundred million different species of living creatures have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them vanishing.

2. Nearly 99 percent of five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth have vanished.

3. Vanished are nearly 99 percent of the five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth.

4. Of five hundred million different species of living creatures that have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent of them have vanished.

5. Of the five hundred million different species of living creatures that have appeared on Earth, nearly 99 percent have vanished.

答案是E,  我自己选择了B, 不是非懂 E 中的 of the five hundred.... 是什么结构的。。。

请NN 帮助。谢谢了

Of 一大串....., 是形容詞子句形容後面的主語, 可以想成nearly 99

percent of the five .....have.....

由於形容詞子句太長放在主語後面會造成主語跟謂語距離太遠, 所以og喜

歡把形容詞子句放到句首, 讓主語跟謂語靠近. 在og的比較句也是一樣的

手法, 把like/unlike置句首,主語拉到後面跟謂語靠近.

这是一个倒装句，nearly 99 percentOf the five hundred million

different species of living creatures that have appeared on

Earth, nearly 99 percent have vanished.

由于 living creatures 的修饰语太长，所以前移。

这个问题貌似以前也看到过， have appeared on Earth, nearly 99

percent have vanished.这个两个时态一样怎么解释呢，应该是先appear

然后再vanish吧。上次看到也么有一个肯定的答案。请NN给个确定答案

我觉得，Nearly 99 percent of five hundred million different species of living creatures that appeared on Earth have vanished中， that appeared on Earth 既可以修饰99 percent of five hundred million different species of living creatures ，又可以修饰five hundred million different species of living creatures ，因此是有歧义的。

E就使得句子消除了歧义。

大家觉得呢？
