Whereas the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and cannot be retracted from the skin, because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therefore able to be pulled out and used again.
A. because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therefore able to be pulled out and used B. the comparative smoothness of the yellow jacket’s stinger allows them to pull it out and then can therefore use it C. the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therefore be pulled out and used D. in comparison, the yellow jacket’s stinger is smooth, and thus able to be pulled out and used E. in comparison, the yellow jacket has a smooth stinger, thus allowing it to be pulled out and used 答案是C,我选的是E。 我的问题是:既然C中的and之前有逗号,按照prep语法笔记中的讲解,and之前用逗号分隔就不能和and之前的分句并列、共用主语,而应该主谓齐全(本题情况应在and后补出it),否则应去掉逗号使and前后并列。(如见prep1_56的解释) E的allowing做伴随结果状语,it的指代确实可能有歧义(jacket&stinger),但是prep中有提到代词的就近指代原则,也就是说代词的问题有商量的余地,但是C的问题是句子结构问题,我认为更严重。
请大家指教。
那是因为你没看到第一句话句首的whereas 它也是个连词 所以它决定了and后面的句子只能和中间
的句子连
没看懂!
我的思路是whereas/然而但是尽管 引导了一个对比的含义,呼唤一个对比的成分马上出来(主语)跟the honeybee's stinger对应,所以,C很显然是一个正确的倾向。
个人做法:
in comparison重复了whereas的意思,直接排掉C、D。
whereas表比较,所以stinger对stinger。
我的理解是加了逗号是为了把这个句子的逻辑意思分成两个成分,逗号前面是两个东西的比较,比较后再说后者如何
如果不加逗号,这个后半部分全是和 蜜蜂刺的比较不太合理
D 有几个错误,it 指代应该优先指yellow jacket 不对
两个比较中强调的东西不同,前者强调刺得特点,后者强调有(has)刺
C没有问题, the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and(the yellow jacket’s stinger) can therefore be pulled out and used 可以省略。
E中it指代是有问题的,并且in comparison多余。
