标题: 请教关于定语从句修饰的问题 [打印本页]

作者: gongbing66    时间: 2012-8-9 06:52     标题: 请教关于定语从句修饰的问题

OG12,102页:
49. As an actress and, more importantly, as a teacher of acting, Stella Adler was one of the most influential artists in the American theater, who trained several generations of actors including Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro.

错误解释中有一条:"The clause who trained… describes Stella Adler, yet a relative clause such as this one must be placed immediately after the noun or pronoun it modifies, and this clause follows theater rather than Adler." 说明原句who就近修饰"American theater"是错的。

而在OG12,98页的43题和OG12,102页的50题中:
43. Despite the increasing number of women graduating from law school and passing bar examinations, the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women have not risen to a comparable extent.

正确答案是C,the proportion of judges and partners at major law firms who are women has not risen comparably。此时who已经跳过"major law firms"修饰"judges and partners".

50. By developing the Secure Digital Music Initiative, the recording industry associations of North America, Japan, and Europe hope to create a standardized way of distributing songs and full-length recordings on the Internet that will protect copyright holders and foil the
many audio pirates who copy and distribute
digital music illegally.

正确答案是A,即题干。同样说明that没有就近修饰"internet"而是跳过修饰"a standardized way".

“引导定语从句的关系代词就近修饰”为何有时成为排除错误选项的依据(49题),有时又不成立呢?望各位大牛不吝赐教。多谢!

第一种情况:名词1+介词+名词2+that定语从句,可跳跃修饰名词1或者就近修饰名词2,取决于逻辑分析;
第二种情况:one of+名词复数+that定语从句,这个从句肯定是修饰one of之后的名词的,即从句中的谓语动词要用复数;其他情况都是就近修饰原则。

n1.+prep.+n2. +that从句中that是不是一般都修饰n1呢?

求指教

我觉得第一题、第二题是因为who无法指代物,所以只能指代离who最近的人
才会产生所谓的“跳跃修饰”

第三题借用Manhattan中关于跳跃的解释
一般来说,名词修饰语(Manhattan只分名词修饰语和动词修饰语,定语从句属于名词修饰语)应该就近修饰,其中一个例外是
要修饰的名词后面有个很重要的定义其性质的介词短语,如第三题中的way of blabla....
因为假如去掉了of后面的东西,way就是个完全没有意义的词,所以way of XXX结构中that不应该就近修饰,而应该修饰前面的核心词way
所以此时产生了跳跃修饰
但是究竟什么叫做很重要的定义其性质的介词短语,Manhattan上面没有界定,但是way of这个例子其中例举过

个人愚见

第一题og没有解释说修饰theatre, who指代人,既可以指代SA 又可以指代the most influential artists,有歧义,第二题前面只有judges and partners 是人,所以没歧义。第三题 n. of n. that可以跳跃修饰
