GWD 21-19
Regardless of their form or function, all aerodynamically enhanced, curved objects made for throwing have been called boomerangs by non-Australians even since 1788, when Europeans saw Dharug-peaking men tossing “bumariny” in the area later known as Sydney.

試試看喔
我的排除方法是
c: their造成指代不清
是指non-Austalians 還是 objects
另外一個我不知道正確與否,我覺得1788離後面要補述歐洲人那邊太遠
了
並且把主詞換掉了
應該是強調objects才對
d: any ..object ,似乎有些改變句意
然後1788位置放的似乎不好
e: their跟年代的問題,同c

敬請指教

[stwang]

我覺得D的 regardless of its form or function有雙向修飾的問題耶
他會造成ambiguity(不知是修飾boomerang還是後面的bumariny?)
但我不覺得any ..object有改變句意的感覺耶

至於C,D,E的from 我也覺得怪怪的 可是說不出個所以然
同樣請教各位大大唷

[howhow]

請教各位大大，
這裡的even since 1788與ever since 1788
句意有何差別呢？

[pamelatsai]

even有甚至的意思~
ever才能表示過去沒有從....開始的意思~

[huihui300]

如果向樓上的大大所說
even since在這句裡面感覺很奇怪耶
"...開始被叫作回力棒...甚至從1788年歐洲人看到..."

從字典上看到ever since
continually since that time

剛剛還找到類似的句子
http://www.dandrollette.com/p_magazines.php?id_mags=21

Regardless of their form or function, all aerodynamically enhanced, curved objects made for throwing have been called boomerangs, ever since Captain Cook saw Tharawal-speaking men tossing "bumariny" on Botany Bay's shores. In what follows, however, the word "boomerang" refers only to those that return.

根據以上
覺得D比較好

----------------------------
題外話
我覺得21回滿多題目和答案都怪怪的
像這題
Dharug-peaking 就少了一個s
還有一題吃蜜蜂的鳥 把wax 打成 was.........


還有十幾天就要考了
是不是回去抱歐姬比較好呢........

[huihui300]

鞭自己一下
prep裡答案是A
不過GWD裡題目還是錯了唷
AB兩選項裏都是ever since

[giraffe]

C/D/E 裡面的 from + ,when 可以這樣用嗎.....

我看到這個就把C/D/E通通刪了..

[chour]

同意giraffe
from是介係詞,應該+名詞
when 引導的是一個副詞子句,所以不會有from when 的用法~

另外這題的畫線應該是有包括那個","吧~
所以C,D,E的長相是",from when" 而非",from, when"

個人看法
C跟E的句意均改變
non-Australians被稱為 all aerodynamically enhanced
應該是curved objects才對

B.their跟curved object 代名詞不一致
D.同意上頭的說法from+N

[dibert8]

如果這題打字沒錯, (C) (D) (E) 從 even since (既使自從) 換成 ever since (自始以來)也許可以用改變句意刪除.
如果不是考 even since vs ever since, 似乎只有 (A) 的 their 清楚的指代 curved objects.
(B) their 應該是 it (= object)
(C) their 指的是 boomerangs? objects?
(D) its 指的是 boomerang? object?
(E) their 指的是 non-Australian? boomerangs? 把 regardless... 放到句子中間: 1. 改變句意, 2. 雙向修飾.

[kai321]

我解CDE的方法

第一個：from when感覺很怪，刪除。

第二個：1788離when也都超遠，刪除。
