在国外的一个论坛看到这道题,好像始终没有讨论出答案

66Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home...


Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home, they featured the preparation of great quantities of ceremonial food, the wearing of many layers of colorful clothing adorned with silver, and the recounting of traditional tribal jokes and stories.

  1. Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home, they featured

  2. Festivals were held in Aho, a Kiowa matriarch’s home, which featured

  3. Aho, who was a Kiowa matriarch in her home, held festivals featuring

  4. In her home, Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals that featured

  5. Aho, a Kiowa matriarch, held festivals in her home that featured

争论的焦点在于D/E   但我现在认为似乎C才是正确的   大家讨论讨论吧

的确很奇怪阿

我会选D 这样的that定于从句只能修饰festival E里面that从句可能修饰home 。。

我觉得D更好些.

D的意思是说,在她的家乡,A,一个Kiowa matriarch,举办节日,这些节日是怎么样怎么样的.

这里,会很清楚的知道在哪里什么人做了什么事情.

而E的意思是说: A,一个KM,举办节日在她家that...这里in her home的位置改变,导致两个地方歧义: 1是这个festivals是被举办在her home的.2是从听句子的人的角度,会觉得that的修饰不是很清楚,要想一下才明白是修饰F而非HOME.而A则很直接..

读起来,也是D更顺一点.

LS分析的E中的第一个歧义我觉得D也会有,甚至D中的in her home的修饰对象更模棱两可   到底是修饰held festivals还是a Kiowa matirarch

我个人更倾向于C,C的意思也更符合逻辑"A,一位家中的K族女家长,主持了个什么什么样的节日。”

我觉得D比较顺
C中who was a Kiowa matriarch in her home, 介词短语in her home就近修饰了a kiowa matriarch,这和原文含义不符,in her home在原文中是修饰festivals的,而不是aho自己的

D/E中: 在书面语中that不能修饰前面的整个句子,而只能就近修饰前面的词。E中that修饰home,排除E

我认为这里的E中的that从句并不一定就是歧义,OG中正确的句子里出现that/which从句跳跃一个介词短语修饰先行词的情况屡见不鲜

Out of America’s fascination with all things antique has grown a market for bygone styles of furniture and fixtures that is bringing back the chaise lounge, the overstuffed sofa, and the claw-footed bathtub.

Dr. Sayre’s lecture recounted several little-known episodes in the relations between nations that illustrate what is wrong with alliances and treaties that do not have popular support.

In good years, the patchwork of green fields that surrounds the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of whom are in the area just for the season.

上面全是从OG里找到的例子

而且通过逻辑判断  that featured应该是比较明显地在修饰festivals  所以如果不存在歧义的话  D和E几乎就没有区别  但两个选项不可能同时正确

 所以我会想是in her home的位置问题  原句本身in her home的位置就照成逻辑上的不太合理  而C就好一些(我个人认为,后面的选项不改变原句的意思的前提是建立在原句逻辑合理的基础上的)

个人的看法 不一定正确  希望大家继续讨论

支持E.

首先,只要后面的从句不会引起指代的混乱,that就可以跳跃修饰。本句中后面的featured...从意义上看只能是修饰Festivals,而非home.

其次,D选项有太多的逗号分隔,违反conciseness原则。并且Aho在句中意思不明确,可以理解成her home的名字。
