Q16:
The nineteenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early
experiments in his “Essay on Heat and Light,” a critique of all chemistry since Robert
Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.
E选项是不是会引起歧义呀? critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own
envisioning of :会产生两种解释 (1)结构为:critique(动词) +all the chemistry..(名词短语)as well as +his own envisioning of (名词短语),那么结构就是“critique”连接两个并列的名词短语做宾语 (2)结构为:critique(动词) all the chemistry..(名词短语)as well as his own envisioning of (名词短语),也可以理解为是“critique”引导的动宾短语与名词短语并列 句子的原意是“19世纪化学家HP在“ESSAY on Heat and Light”一书中展示了他的早期研究成果,这本书是对自RB之后所有化学的批评,也是HP希望发现的新化学的展望”。因此,“对于。。。的批评”和“对于。。。的展望”是并列的。那么E选项是不对的。 A选项也是引起歧义:即AS WELL AS 之后的名词短语可能与all chemistry并列 C/D都违背了平行结构 |
