superbat呼叫~OG12 09 关于指代问题

Steven0124

题目：Like the idolization accorded the Brontes and Brownings, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf are often subjected to the kind of veneration that blurs the distinction between the artists and human being.

C. Like that accorded to the Brontes and Brownings,
D. As it is of the Brontes and Brownings

对于C和D比较不平行我没有疑问。可是在C和D的解释里都提到，that 或 it 是ambiguous。而且JJ和VW是和that或it去进行比较。

问题是，这道题了，that和it能指代什么从而产生ambiguous啊。。我肿么觉得他俩就没可指代的呢。。。

有的时候没有明确的指代对象也是指代不清吧？

可是OG那时候不是会说have no reference么？~问题是，它解释里还说到，JJ

和VW是和it或that对比。。。

C的解释: That is ambiguous, and Joyce and Woolf are compared to that rather than to the writers.
D的解释：It is ambiguous; as it is of is awkward and wordy; the twentieth-century writers are compated to it rather than to the nineteenth-century writers.

指弹之水

句子主语是  James Joyce and Virginia Woolf  
这两个是人，所以划线部分和他们比较的对象也要是人。
用 it 用 that 都不是人。所以不能用 it 不能用 that 。这就是OG所谓的ambiguous
