Thelonious Monk, who was a jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work both rooted in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith and Duke Ellington, yet in many ways he stood apart from the mainstream jazz repertory.
a) same
b) Thelonious Monk, the jazz pianist and composer, produced a body of work that was rooted both
c) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, who produced a body of work rooted
d) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work that was rooted
e) Jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk produced a body of work rooted both
O.A is D.
On the first glance, I went with B as well.
But after i saw the answer, i realized:
Correct Idiom is:
Both X and Y
OR
Both in X and in Y.
X and Y are parallel.
Here,
we need:
Both in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith
and
in the stride-piano tradition of Duke Ellington
Or
Both
in the stride-piano tradition of Willie (The Lion) Smith
and
in same of Duke Ellington.
So "Usage of BOTH" is wrong here, since non-underline part is not parallel.
I mean, we don't need anything self-understandable. One can argue that
[in the stride-piano tradition of] Duke Ellington
is self understood. Yeah it is, but when u read with both, it should be something like
Both X and Y ==> Both X and Both Y.
But D seems to have a major flaw, meaning.
Jazz pianist
and composer T.M
Seems like 2 different person produced a body of work.
Still a Good explanation will really help.作者: zongtong 时间: 2011-7-23 21:25
关于为何BOTH不需要:
如果把句子这么看就清楚很多 -- XXXXXXX, produced a body of work both rooted in the stride-piano tradition (of Willie Smith and Duke Ellington), yet XXXXXX
