請教OG15

[kigosam]

(a)distinguishes mood swings, which may be violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis .
請教一下,
這個選項有點困擾....
要如何分辨distinguishe between A and B與distinguishe A from B?
不好意思...修辭實在沒概念....

由OG解釋(a)選項:"their in A is intrusive and unnecessary"

另外以下轉貼自CD，供大家參考:

携隐在2004-9-20 11:20:00的发言：
distinguish between A and B是要分辨出A和B的不同之处,强调要分出A和B的细微差别,重心放在两者本身的性质和特点上.

distinguish A from B是要把A和B分开,挑选出A来.它并不强调A和B本身的特性有多么接近,性质有多么微妙相同,它只要求你能把A挑出来就可以,不管AB差别有多大.

buddyk在2004-9-20 11:35:00的发言：
前者强调区分二者的区别；后者强调区分的动作。

distinguish right from wrong
明辨是非
distinguish good from evil
分辨善恶

而且，通常使用distinguish A from B的时候，通常A,B 是不同类的，而且强调只有A才有某个特性。
There is something about music that distinguishes it from all other art forms...

這樣說，媽媽可以在菜市場分辨出好吃的西瓜跟不好吃的西瓜要用distinguish between A and B

然而，小孩子可以從菜市場中分辨出西瓜跟芒果的差別則用distinguish A from B，應該這樣比喻沒有錯吧。

Ans : C

關於B和D, OG上面提到,

and the modifier of mood swings in B and D (perhaps violent) is awkward and less clear than the more developed clause which may be violent.

為什麼這裡which be不能省略呢?

頂一下

[dibert8]

(B) (D) perhaps... 形容詞片語的結構修飾不清,比起用 which 子句,後者明確修飾前置詞 mood swings.
(i.e. 問題不是出在 perhaps 這個字,而是修飾結構)

(B) (D) perhaps... 形容詞片語的結構修飾不清,比起用 which 子句,後者明確修飾前置詞 mood swings.
(i.e. 問題不是出在 perhaps 這個字,而是修飾結構)

如果我說

(B)(D)mood swings, perhaps violent...

(c) between mood swings, which may be violent...

這題因為是非限定用法，

如果把which be 省略掉，雖然看起來起較簡潔，但是修飾不清，

造成awkward, unclear

這樣同意嗎？

(我想關代省略的文法部份，我要好好再看看了。)
