如题,例子是the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women have not risen to a comparable extent.(这是划线句子)
给的答案是: the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms has not risen comparably
OG认为错误两处:第一have 改成has,这没问题。第二处句尾处OG认为答案更concisely
为什么who are women不紧跟judges and partners呢?作者: myice 时间: 2011-2-12 10:18
我也有点晕,同问一下作者: JoshwuS 时间: 2011-2-12 18:44
who are women 指代不明,是修饰law firms?修饰judges and partners ?还是修饰the proportion ?而且都说不通作者: laurawang2234 时间: 2011-2-13 06:48
不一定,
关键在于意思,与是否歧义,逻辑与句子意思是王道
这个是gmat考试中的正确句子

下面是一些个人理解
楼主说的这句话中
judges and patners后面跟了两个修饰语 at major law firms 和
who are women
按照Manhattan4th 的说法,这两个都算noun modifier
noun modifier的原则是touch rule —即modifier要和noun 紧邻 既然这两个都是noun modifier 那么作者应该按照要表达的意思安排这两个modifier的意思,如果把 who 引导的从句放在介宾短语前就会改变句意了~~~
希望牛人看到表达下看法吧~~~
我也在复习中~~~待求证
