OA:A

我想问两个问题:

1、A中的同位语从句用了一般现在时,可是dinosaur是已经灭绝的物种,似乎应该用过去时吧。记得OG11上有道题也是讲灭绝的动物在它们存在的时代的事情,选项强调用过去时而不能用一般现在时。请问大家面对这种灭绝物种生前事情的题,怎么取舍时态,有什么规则?

2、C中结构为“名词1 of 名词2,名词2的同位语,定语”的结构,意在用“定语”修饰“名词2的同位语”,这样的结构本身是否会造成:“名词2的同位语”是一个插入语,而“定语”跳过插入语去修饰“名词1”的歧义?

请各位帮忙解答,谢谢。

所以楼主认为Majungatholus atopus是一个插入语,完全不影响句子的结构。

这样解释说得通。

我做此题时搞混了一个知识点:逗号隔开的状语/分词结构连用,会造成多重修饰对象的歧异。

 

看来同位语,特别是插入语式的同位语不会产生此歧异。

谢谢版主!

谢回复。

1、现在暂时没找到。但是对此题我的脑中有印象,我再继续找。

2、本题C中,“the bones of a meat-eating dinosaur, Majungatholus atopus, distantly related to Tyrannosaurus rex ”distantly related是majungatholus atopus的非限定定语而不是限定定语吧。这个能不能接受呢?会不会语法上修饰到bones去?

1. LZ記得是OG的那一題嗎? 個人認為, 主要是看那個動作是現在還是過去. "a meat-eating dinosaur that is a distant relative of Tyrannosaurus rex and closely resembles South American predatory dinosaurs"是一個scientific的結論, 而那個巳不在的dinosaur並沒有發出任何動作.
2. 限制性的形容修飾是優先修連接的名詞...所以可以接受
