GWD9-39

[FannyHsieh]

我記得這題去年底有人去問過莫北北，他給的答案是C

[candrow]

Q39:
Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, while in
Germany it is just over 33 percent.
A. while in Germany it is just over 33 percent
B. compared to Germany, which uses just over 33 percent
C. whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced
in Germany
D. whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
E. compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over
33 percent

這題答案是D還是C阿? :|

支持C

首先
the冠詞加在名詞前
一來可能是代表已經提過的東西
二來就需要限定

若採用D
Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany.
第一個劃線部分相當完美
the energy限定, 後面帶入produced是(which is)prodced的簡化
強調the energy是指法國生產的

但是第二個劃線部份就相當不清楚
所謂comes from並非關代解釋
只是單純說33%的energy是來自德國的核電
the energy沒有解釋就加了冠詞
代表先前提過的
變成指向法國的energy
句意出錯

如:
Over 75 percent of the money saved in my account derives from my salary, whereas just over 33 percent of the money comes from my father's salary in his account.

排除75+33=/=100
請問你會怎麼解釋這句話?
再回頭看題目
就知道D哪裡ambiguity了

想請問一下,
除了比較的問題外,
(A)(E)的it有什麼問題嗎?

乾恩喔....

A, E的it指代Over 75 percent of the energy

[mandy-lo]

這題我的理解…大家參考參考…
Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power
→由法國生產的能源超過７５％是來自於核能發電
C. whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany
→核能發電只佔了德國生產能源的33%
D. whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
→只有超過33%來自於核能發電的能源在德國

我覺得初看這二句話，真的會感覺沒啥差別，但仔細比較後發現
結合上句話，我覺得整句話的重點應該在“核能發電”上，
Ｃ將核能發電拉到Ｓ地位突顯核能發電在德國佔多少百分比
→明確在比較兩國核能發電比例上的不一
，至於Ｄ選，in Germany的位置真的離要修飾的位置太遠…
→整句話要翻時不知要擺哪裡???
所以,C選還是比較好…

想請問一下,

(A)(E)的it有什麼問題嗎?

乾恩喔....

A, E的it指代Over 75 percent of the energy

(A) it = 75 percent, 75% 不會自己又是 33%
(E) it 指代不清 (it = energy => energy > 33% 不合理; i.e. 什麼的 33%?)

[dibert8]

副詞放句尾的確容易有修飾不清的問題,所以 (D) 不好.
i.e. 是 whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from {nuclear power in Germany}
還是 whereas {just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power} in Germany

[ad264]

D這個錯誤選項原來讀起來是這樣的句意:

錯誤句子: Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany.

D is wrong because it says that 33 percent of the energy produced in France comes from nuclear power in Germany. How can energy produced in France come from Germany?
