[問題]GWD3-29

[cynthiachan]

Contrary to A, B~~ 中 的A和B一定要同類嗎?
這題的選項(c)是否還有其他錯誤地方??
我怎麼記得莫老師在講解考古題P.90頁#5說過Contrary to對比不需同類耶?!

5.Contrary to popular belief, victors in the ancient Greek Olympic Games received cash prizes in addition to their laurel wreaths.
選項A正確答案 .
popular belief (非人) 與 victors (人) 不同類~~

我在字典上看到contrary to+N
要表達動詞概念應該用句子比較好(Even though)

[suechi915]

查了一下longman對於contrary 的解釋
1.contrary ideas, opinions, or actions are completely different and opposed to each other
contrary to
The government's actions are contrary to the public interest.
2.contrary to popular belief/opinion
used to say that something is true even though people believe the oppositeContrary to popular belief, a desert can be very cold.

以上可知，contrary to
1.+ 事，不接人
2.為了突顯即使一般人所接受的概念，還有可能有相反的情形發生

本題重點在突顯Barnara(人)的看法不同，強調他為什麼得Nobel
而不是他的想法
可由topic=Barbara 觀之

不曉得各位大大覺得?

補充一下，莫北北說contrary to可以"比較不同類"喔!

這題小弟也錯了 我也是選C 我真的覺得Contrary to 可以比較不同類
問了老外也說C沒問題 就是那個being 稍微比較不好一點 但老外說他念起來很順 (重點是 這老外是加州土生土長老美
還是Berkeley BBA + MBA 大牛一隻)

但是關代+ were 改成 being本來就不可缺少 這在ETS考點裡面也常出現
所以我找不到C除了這個以外還有哪兒不好 ><

依照老外說法 C在前面 他應該會直接選C XD faint ~

[SELVICHY]

前面大家對於c的說法有點錯誤,
C並沒有考比較,這題有考到比較的只有A選項.
C錯誤的原因是因為他的主動詞省略不當.
C的原句是her colleagues who were convinced that...
省略掉who之後,其附帶的動詞were也要省略,
但是他把動詞留在那裡,並改成分詞形式being,
所以錯了.

同意

小意見, 大家參考看看
sb be convinced of N
sb be convinced that S+V
在這句話中, convince BM同事的是一件事, genes are relative simple and static. 而不是一個名詞genes being relative simple and static. 此外, genes being relative simple and static. 可以改為 relative simple and static genes.
所以選項剩ACD
A比較不同類
C colleagues being convinved 應該改為colleagues convinced (前面文章有提及)
所以我贊成(D).
