Q112.
An unusually strong cyclist can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set a new distance record for human-powered aircraft in MIT's diaphanous construction of graphite fiber and plastic.

(A)can, it is hoped, provide enough power to set

(B)it is hoped, can provide enough power that will set

(C)hopefully can provide enough power, this will set

(D) is hopeful to set

(E) hopes setting
ANS is (A)


請教各位牛牛,(A)中的插入句, it is hoped,不會造成run-on嗎?

還是一種省略句型呢? 請指點脫線的LORY!!!!

這句背景類似日本的鳥人大賽
(如果有人看過這個節目,就是各學校會自製人力飛機,在海平面上比賽飛行,其中有的有腳踏車裝置,牽動螺旋槳,所以騎得越有力越持久飛越遠)

所以原句說
"一般人希望(it is hoped)
一個強有力的腳踏車手可以(can)締造出新的人力飛機飛遠紀錄。"
從文法等來看
只有AD值得考慮
但D卻變成
"一個強有力的腳踏車手有希望締造佳績"
把can和hope的意思故意混淆，看似簡潔，其實改變句意

例如:
"一般人認為, 英文好的人GMAT可以考高分"
這跟
"英文好的人, GMAT有希望拿高分"
句意不一樣
不但第三者觀點不見了
還把"可以"變成"有希望"

至於it is hoped文法問題
我講不出應該怎麼寫更好
但是如果補美加
徐文意有補充過一模一樣的句型
在文章中帶入一般人觀點
卻又不寫It is hoped that
改成it is hoped插入句中
可以故意混淆讀者的靈敏度

agree
解釋相當清晰

[yutsang_0611]

it is hoped表客觀(第三者觀點)
hopefully表主觀(個人觀點)
