标题: OG 41 [打印本页] 作者: teyvhf 时间: 2004-9-7 12:40 标题: OG 41
41. Under a provision of the Constitution that was never applied. Congress has been required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it by the legislatures of two-thirds of the states.
(A) was never applied, Congress has been required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do it
(B) was never applied, there has been a requirement that Congress call a convention for consideration of possible amendments to the document when asked to do it formally
(C) was never applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention for considering possible amendments to the document when asked to do it formally
(D) has never been applied, whereby Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do so
(E) has never been applied. Congress is required to call a convention to consider possible amendments to the document when formally asked to do so
The predicate has never been applied refers to a span of time, from the writing of the Constitution to the present, rather than to a past event (as was does), and the phrase is required indicates that the provision still applies.
这句解释我不明白，我还以为是从 never上看出要用完成时态的，可是为什么og的解释说，是从is required看出呢？作者: himba 时间: 2004-9-7 12:48
它是说谓语has never been applied 值得是一段时间（从the writing of ...倒现在）而不是指过去的事件，is required 表明the provision 仍然实施着
