OG-Q135

[QQcandy]

135. Intar, the oldest Hispanic theater company in New York, has moved away from the Spanish classics and now it draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the United States.

(A) now it draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those

(B) now draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors, both those who live abroad and those who live

(C) it draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors now, both those living abroad and who live

(D) draws now on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and who are

(E) draws on the works now of both contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad and those

In choices A and C, it intrudes between the halves of the compound verb has moved... and [now] draws to introduce a new grammatical subject, thereby creating a run-on sentence: the inclusion of it requires a comma after classics to set off the new independent clause. The placement of now is awkward in C, and the construction living abroad... and who is not parallel in C and D. Misplacement of words creates ambiguity in E: for example, the positioning of both immediately before the phrase describing the authors suggests that there are only two contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad. The logical word placement and parallel phrasing of B, the best choice, resolve such confusions.

我想請問這題解釋

1. 為什麼 A 裡加個 it 會不對 it 同樣也可代那鍋 Intar 呀 ! 以 and 連接 合理呀 ? 為啥也會構成 run-on sentence ???

2. 為什麼 E 會讓人覺的 contemporary Hispanic authors living abroad 只有兩個人 ? 一樣是 both.... and.... 呀 ??? 是基本文法嗎 ???

A裡如果有it的話就變成了兩個句子。連接兩個句子時and前面必須有逗點。
第二個問題蠻難解釋的，
B是『,both those...and those..』兩個群體的作者
E是『both authors living abroad』兩個作者
這樣可以感覺得出有不一樣嗎？

請各位前輩進一步解釋...

E不好的地方包括
now 的位置不好
both 的兩個對象不好(人家B可是those who ...and those who...)
OG解題也相當有道理，基於both的位置是在 the work of 之內(這是非常不好的表達方式，特別是在此句意之下)，再加上those who lived直接改分詞，就變成living形容authors，both則表達數量。

[Pufa]

謝謝agk大哥
恩..這篇咖啡館的三美圖都到齊了

[QQcandy]

嗯~ 謝謝樓上兩位大哥 :D

第二個問題還可理解....

但是我想在問第一個問題, 那不能看成只是主詞沒有提公因式, 用it 還是對呀 ! 而且為甚模 and 前面要有個逗點.... 不是三者以上才打逗點呀 ! 兩個為啥要打 ?

我可以理解正確答案是最好的, 但是 解飾上的說明A 無法說服我那是錯的

[illuna]

QQ妹...以下是我的想法...

and連接兩個子句如果是同一個主詞「可以且必要」提公因式出來....(簡潔原則)

因為如果又加入it的話給人的感覺是跟前面的主詞不同....那這個it到底是指誰?

太久沒摸...有錯請見諒...

[QQcandy]

嗯~ 我嘗試去理解...

又參趙 og 152 的 a b 選項...

就文法結構及句意來說並沒有錯... 但就修辭來說便不佳, 並唯反簡潔原則 且跟據og解飾會視為兩個不同的句子 所以只要是主詞相同的都要提公因式, 這就是修辭

[sleek]

請教(A)選項

(A) now it draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those

如果去除了"it" 的錯誤,此選項對嗎?
both of...and of those中的"those"會不會不清楚呢?
"those" 指--1.contemporary Hispanic authors"? 還是
2.contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad " ?

如果是指第2個,那就句意就會有問題了吧~??
是不是(A)這樣寫就是容易造成誤會呢?

請問各位的高見~感謝~

[cg]

用google查了一下
是有both of A and of B 的用法
可能還是要請版大們做確認了

不過 把(A)中的it的去掉並簡化 Intar...now draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the United States.

這裡的both在語意上指的是 works
不會不對 因為是原題目
不過跟正確答案強調是contemporary Hispanic authors有些出入

也想聽聽其他人的見解

[Lian]

Intar...now draws on the works both of contemporary Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the United States.

in the United States修飾those,句意錯, 因為在美國不等於住在美國

[afra_hung]

請問此題5個選項中, 有那幾個的"now"位置不佳的?又原因為何?
因為OG解釋裡只有提到(C)的"now"放不對,
那是表示其他選項的"now"無論放那個位置意思都一樣嗎??

[gilesman]

E不好的地方包括
now 的位置不好
both 的兩個對象不好(人家B可是those who ...and those who...)
OG解題也相當有道理，基於both的位置是在 the work of 之內(這是非常不好的表達方式，特別是在此句意之下)，再加上those who lived直接改分詞，就變成living形容authors，both則表達數量。

請問 now 的位置關係 (B)

(B) now draws on the works of contemporary Hispanic authors, both those who live abroad and those who live

如果把 now 移到 draws 後面呢??
譬如: draws now on the works ...... , both those who....
這樣的答案會被允許嗎????
還是會因為now的位置不同, 不能選呢??

thx

在老莫於民國79出過的一本修辭書上記載到：

凡是兩個對等子句(獨立子句)由and, but, for, nor, or, so等連接詞連接而成為合句時，連接詞前面要用(,)來劃分，也就是

S1 + V1 ,and S2 + V2

不過，當主詞一致時，就變成主詞省略，(,)也省略，也就是本題正解的結構：

S1 + V1 and V2

本題(A)的結構：
S1 + V1 and S1 + V2，被OG視為run on，被要求要在and前面加入(，)在文法上才正確，不過由於S重覆，仍然沒有(B)的S1 + V1 and V2簡潔。

[dibert8]

用平衡法可以快速找到答案:
and 平衡句子兩端, has moved ..., and +V, 所以找動詞開始的句子, 刪除 (A) (C)
選項 (D) (E) 裡面的 and 兩邊也不平, 刪除
剩下答案 (B): both (those who ...) and (those who ...)
但是心中有一點困惑: both 是當同為語嗎?

[dibert8]

查了字典, both 當形容詞似乎講得通(修飾 those... and those...), 而those ... and those ... 才是 authors 的同位語.
