大全987-958

[vivid]

958. Cartographers have long struggled with the problem of having the spherical Earth to draw on a flat sheet of paper.
(A) having the spherical Earth to draw on a flat sheet of paper
(B) having a flat sheet of paper on which to draw the spherical Earth
(C) how can one draw the spherical Earth on a flat sheet of paper
(D) how they could use a flat sheet of paper to draw the spherical Earth
(E) how to draw the spherical Earth on a flat sheet of paper




答案e

想問為什麼a不行
不是比較簡潔嗎

[Pufa]

have sth to do sth?
讓the spherical Earth去draw？
不合常理:-)

而且這句型也很不討喜。

這我選D
原因為having不選 C選項one不知道代誰
D E決選
後來我想到OG256

The nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.



(A)The nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.
(B)To the historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote two letters, being the only eyewitness accounts of the great eruption of Vesuvius. (C)The only eyewitness account is in two letters by the nephew of Pliny the Elder writing to the historian Tacitus an account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.
(D)Writing the only eyewitness account, Pliny the Elder's nephew accounted for the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters to the historian Tacitus.
(E)In two letters to the historian Tacitus, the nephew of Pliny the Elder wrote the only eyewitness account of the great eruption of Vesuvius.

OG11th解釋,D 的the great eruption of Vesuvius in two letters容易被誤會
火山在兩張信紙上爆炸 所以OG覺得D不好

同理此題E選項the spherical Earth on a flat sheet of paper
畫平紙上的地球....很像就犯了OG那題的錯

真苦惱....

沒錯沒錯
我也是想到 Earth on a flat sheet of paper
是否修飾語誤致
所以選D
結果錯!!

[訪客]

我選E
how to draw the spherical Earth on a flat sheet of paper
它的意思是怎樣在紙上畫圓---->符合一般口語

就跟WIRTE YOUR NAME ON THE PAPER一樣

[ck1109]

今天又看了一下這一題
發現 D 的確怪怪的

use paper to draw
用一張平坦到不行的紙去畫圓滾滾的地球→句意怪異
紙只能被畫吧
如果紙能夠畫東西那還要筆幹嘛

所以雖然E還是有點疑問
不過D可以排除了

我查過朗文[longman]關於use的解釋：
use something [transitive] if you use a particular tool, method, service, ability etc, you do something with that tool, by means of that method etc, for a particular purpose
換句話說
本題use paper to draw
就是用 draw with paper也就是用paper去draw 明顯不合理
因此排除D

(A) having the spherical Earth to draw on a flat sheet of paper

答案e

想問為什麼a不行
不是比較簡潔嗎

(A)錯的原因是have在此為使役動詞
應該改為having the spherical Earth drawn被動 on a flat sheet of paper.

Pufa大大的解釋我覺得很一針見血喔，可以參考：

have sth to do sth?
讓the spherical Earth去draw？
不合常理:-)
