OG-73

[micht]

73. The British Admiralty and the War Office met in March 1892 to consider a possible Russian attempt to seize Constantinople and how they would have to act militarily to deal with them.

(A) how they would have to act militarily to deal with them
(B) how to deal with them if military action would be necessary
(C)what would be necessary militarily for dealing with such an event
(D) what military action would be necessary in order to deal with such an event
(E) the necessity of what kind of military action in order to take for dealing with it

Ans: (D)

In choices A and B, the pronoun them has no antecedent; furthermore, the if clause in B must take should rather than would . In C, necessary militarily is awkward and vague . E is wordy and garbles the meaning with incorrect word order. Choice D is best: its phrasing is clear, grammatical, and idiomatic. Moreover, D is the choice that most closely parallels the construction of the nonunderlined portion of the sentence. The sentence states that the Admiralty and the War Office met to consider x and y, where x is the noun phrase a possible Russian attempt. D provides a noun phrase, military action, that matches the structure of x more closely than do the corresponding noun elements in the other choices.


我對答案(D)沒有什麼疑問
我只是想要理解 上面紅色部分 為什麼ETS會說 要用should not would

而我是這麼想的

我覺得比在作 抉擇 whether to take military action or not.
而不是作 假設 if they should take military action?

因為後面有"be necessary" 需要? or 不需要? take military action or not?

大家覺得呢?

我的想法是類似if中以現在式代未來式的想法
if中要以現在式代替未來式的原因,旋老師的講解為必先有一動作,然後才會有另一動作,所以即使兩者皆尚未發生,但未來必先發生某一動作,其後才會有另一動作出現...

所以若是用would變成military action將必要,然後how to deal...變成兩者都是不確定未來感
改用should變成military action必要時,該如何去deal!!

個人猜想!!

我的感覺是用should表 萬一

念起來感覺就是should比較順一點 千萬別打我....

因為面有possible 表示會不會發生尚不確定

所以後面用should表萬一比用would好

因為would語氣比較肯定,這邊不適用

多指教

?

假如The British Admiralty and the War Office met in March 1892，那就表示這已經是事實了，用would並不恰當，已經是事實怎麼會可能性小?
