OG 153 VS OG 177句子焦点(句子重心)

153. A recording system was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office that even Theodore C. Sorensen, the White House counsel, did not know it existed.

(A) A recording system was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office that

(B) So secret was a recording system installation and operation in the Kennedy Oval Office

(C) It was so secret that a recording system was installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office

(D) A recording system that was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office

(E) Installed and operated so secretly in the Kennedy Oval Office was a recording system that

A, the best choice, correctly focuses upon the recording system by making it the straightforward subject of the sentence and the logical referent of the pronoun it in the last line. B makes installation and operation the subject, distorting the focus and leaving it without a clear referent. C distorts the focus with an awkward and confusing delayed subject construction. C also omits the conjunction that necessary to introduce the clause stating the result (even Sorenson did not know . . .). D, a long noun phrase with no finite verb, produces a fragment rather than a complete sentence. E awkwardly inverts the order of the subject and predicate in the main clause and thus cannot be logically connected to the remainder of the sentence.

OG上头的解释, 说 A选将焦点正确地放在recording system上,

偶想请教如何从原题中未划线的部分得知焦点所在呢?

像这题,B选如果句末有that,偶就无法排除它了.(虽然B选还有it无法指代的毛病,可是很有可能考试的时候,又把installation and operation视为一组( a pair )的名词而认为it可代)


类似的状况如

OG 177


177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.

(A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that

(B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are,

(C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained,

(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why

(E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why

A, the best choice, uses the idiomatic form So X that Y to establish a cause/effect relationship between clauses X and Y. In B, the subject of the as ... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, "As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs." C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause. In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). E exhibits subject-verb disagreement: young recruits ... explains why.

倘若D选句末去掉is why , 加上逗号 ,偶也会被混淆而认为是可以选的

以上大陸同學提的其實都是假設的問題，錯誤選項就是少這少那改這改那才會錯

事實上，只要是句子修飾正確，指代清晰，主謂一致，時態ok，當然就是標準的選項
這就牽涉到SC的作答原則是比較出來的，也就是相對理由勝過絕對理由

總之做SC是該從文法結構甚至是技巧練起，但進考場作答時，就該忘掉所有技巧，不拘泥規則，從容選出五個選項最好的答案

當然這就牽涉到你英語的真正實力，任誰都沒辦法輕易回答這問題了

以下都是你的問題說明
153.
B.倒裝,誤解主詞為 a recording system installation and operation跟原文說的不一樣..原文指的是a recording system.

177. that S+V 名詞子句後面動詞 are不對,照你方式說
that S+V , many bussiness....
前面又不能做後面的同位語,文法錯誤哩...

輕功水上飄一以貫之
分享各位一個大衛研發的心得
大衛自己取個名字叫"主軸一貫的動作概念"

在ETS的認定中
最簡潔的模式
永遠是一個"一貫的主軸"去進行一個"動作"
這兩提基本的核心概念是相同的
都是主軸一貫

而"主軸一貫的動作概念"主要有三點
一是"主軸移轉"概念
二是"主從結構"概念
三是"動作與狀態"概念

一就是主軸不要移轉
看起來沒蛇麼
但這可是ETS精髓
幾乎沒看過有哪提主軸移轉有對過的

二就是主要結構跟次要結構的概念
其實非常簡單
主辭、主要動辭及主要補語就是主要結構
三大程咬金(非限定關代、分辭補述跟同位語)就是次要結構
主軸只要看主要結構
次要結構都可以拿掉不影響主軸意義
這點是ETS結構意義
也是小弟輕功水上飄的奧義
目前似乎沒聽過哪位老師或大牛提出此點見解

三是動作與狀態概念
ETS認定中
動作與狀態相比永遠選動作
action is more direct than situation

各位可以試試看
幾乎所有的句意題
若時間不夠找不到答案
直接去找哪個選項是"主軸一貫的主辭"去"執行一個動作"
幾乎很少錯過
正確率超過九成

建立以上概念即可輕鬆解題

OG 153 VS OG 177句子焦点(句子重心)

153. A recording system was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office that even Theodore C. Sorensen, the White House counsel, did not know it existed.

本提原意主軸是要講"系統被如此神秘地安裝跟運作，以致連白宮資政都被蒙在鼓裡"
直接抓"一貫主軸"及"動作"是誰
是"錄音系統"及神秘地"安裝跟運作"
A直接就選了

(A) A recording system was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office that

(B) So secret was a recording system installation and operation in the Kennedy Oval Office

原主軸焦點移轉為"錄音系統的安裝跟運作"
是"狀態"
錯了
主軸應該是"錄音系統"才對
動作不見了
而且後面的it不能帶"安裝跟運作"
所以解答說指代不清

(C) It was so secret that a recording system was installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office

這裡主軸變成整件事
講"一個錄音系統被安裝跟運作"非常機密
中文看起來沒啥不同
但主軸強調點完全不同
變成強調"安裝跟運作"的"動作"很機密
so...that(因此..以至於)的位置錯還多一個that
完全改變句意

(D) A recording system that was so secretly installed and operated in the Kennedy Oval Office

安裝跟運作變成次要補述
so... that一個在次要結構一個在主要結構
將次要結構遮住不看將無法連貫

(E) Installed and operated so secretly in the Kennedy Oval Office was a recording system that

主軸變倒裝強調"被安裝及運作地非常隱密"的是"錄音系統"
完全改變主軸強調點

A, the best choice, correctly focuses upon the recording system by making it the straightforward subject of the sentence and the logical referent of the pronoun it in the last line. B makes installation and operation the subject, distorting the focus and leaving it without a clear referent. C distorts the focus with an awkward and confusing delayed subject construction. C also omits the conjunction that necessary to introduce the clause stating the result (even Sorenson did not know . . .). D, a long noun phrase with no finite verb, produces a fragment rather than a complete sentence. E awkwardly inverts the order of the subject and predicate in the main clause and thus cannot be logically connected to the remainder of the sentence.

OG上头的解释, 说 A选将焦点正确地放在recording system上,

偶想请教如何从原题中未划线的部分得知焦点所在呢?

像这题,B选如果句末有that,偶就无法排除它了.(虽然B选还有it无法指代的毛病,可是很有可能考试的时候,又把installation and operation视为一组( a pair )的名词而认为it可代)

兩件事不可以用it代
這不是肉粽
主軸移轉了
是要講"系統"被"安裝跟運作"的動作
變成是一個"安裝跟運作"的"狀態"




类似的状况如

OG 177


177. So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that many business executives fear this country will lose its economic preeminence.

這提也在考so...that
"如此"破的訓練"以致於"主管們擔心國家經濟主導地位喪失
A就對了

(A) So poorly educated and trained are many young recruits to the United States work force that

(B) As poorly educated and trained as many young recruits to the United States work force are,

as...as
向如此破訓練的年輕人
意思就錯了

(C) Because of many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained,

because講原因
但無法表達"如此...以致於"的概念
且because of這麼長一串
直接用because S+V+O就好了

(D) That many young recruits to the United States work force are so poorly educated and trained is why

句意完全改變
原句是要講"如此破以至於..."
變成講"年輕人受破訓練"是一個"原因"
且居然有兩個動辭?!
實在是太神奇了..大衛~

(E) Many young recruits to the United States work force who are so poorly educated and trained explains why

??
後面忽然冒出一個why
這件事情不會自己跑出來解釋
且跟原句意"如此破以致於..."完全八竿子打不著

A, the best choice, uses the idiomatic form So X that Y to establish a cause/effect relationship between clauses X and Y. In B, the subject of the as ... as clause (young recruits) should be the subject of the main clause as well (e.g., they). Furthermore, main clauses following concessive clauses must express a contrasting notion: for example, "As ill-prepared as they are, they nevertheless find good jobs." C offers a wordy, convoluted because clause. In D, the sentence form X is why is unidiomatic (X is the reason why would be idiomatic but needlessly wordy and awkward). E exhibits subject-verb disagreement: young recruits ... explains why.

倘若D选句末去掉is why , 加上逗号 ,偶也会被混淆而认为是可以选的

沒有that...that的用法
