53. In a 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court rules that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of their ancestral lands in the eighteenth century.

(A) that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of

(B) that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians because of their unlawful seizure of

(C) two upstate New York counties to owe restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for their unlawful seizure of

(D) on two upstate New York counties that owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians because they unlawfully seized

(E) on the restitution that two upstate New York counties owed to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of


正確答案是(A)
這一題老師有講過...可是現在再回來看的時候，又覺得怪怪的了
原則上 (C) (D) (E) 刪去沒有問題，問題是在(A)與(B):

如果說 (B) 是錯的 ==> because of their unlawful seizure of
中的 their 會有ambiguity的情形，那麼
(A)中的 for the unlawful seizure of their ancestral lands...
這個 their 又為甚麼沒有ambiguity的情形呢?

老師有說過 我也有聽 ==> 代名詞95%代替原題主詞 那麼 (A)跟(B)的 their
應該都代替 two upstate New York counties 啊! 而不是印地安人..

請各位高手指教!!! 謝謝!!

(A) 跟 (B) 之間考 1.簡潔, 2.代名詞
(B) 裡的 their 跟非劃線部份的 their 最好指同一對象,才不會讓讀者去猜哪個是哪個. 依句意,非劃線部份的 their 指 Indians.

rule (命令) that S + V 是不是應該用原形動詞啊?

[cooljay.lin]

沒錯!!

您的答案徹底解決了我的疑惑!!!

而且 你提出來的疑問也的確是問題

Rule + that + S + (Should) + V

V 應該是要原形才對 這是老師有說過的...

所以 小弟認為題目應該是有錯 ...

可是不影響結果 因為這樣一來 就沒有答案可選了
