請問題目"...surveyed view..." , view應該是動詞, surveyed是怎麼來的呢?

[Calvin]

in the future..
用would 錯誤

[zuckzhc]

請問本題答案(E)錯在哪裡?

B.R.
Max

in the future..
用would 錯誤

這裡用would 錯誤應該不是因為in the future
而是語氣會變成有條件子句的成份在內
大全解釋如下
In choice E, would is faulty because it suggests without warrant that the stations would be made safe if some unnamed conditions were met.
但是我不懂,
1.為什麼用could 就可以,而且就算是如解釋中說的,又有何錯,句意上一樣說得通,是因為unclear嗎?
2.那個they不會被認為是代替 journalists嗎?

希望大家一起討論看看

1.could是用來表可能發生的事,would是應該會發生的事==>這是我的觀念,有錯請指正,謝謝~
2.journalists是原句主詞且在同一句中,代名詞應用themselves

[reohuang]

journalists是原句主詞且在同一句中,代名詞應用themselves

我是覺得they似乎有點問題
如果是think them blablabla 代名詞受格應該是要改成think themselves blablabla 我同意
可是這邊是要當that句子的主格,應該還是得要用they才對

另外D裡多的一個be似乎也有點多餘？

E的would可否當作是語氣弱的表示？
我傾向支持E也...糟糕...這個答案是ets官方的嗎@@

open to discuss

[小晃兄]

我覺得E錯是因為時態不同，動詞不能提公因式。

呵呵...對耶..這裡是think that....sorry~

[NEWUNIVERSE]

journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as.... but think that they will be or could made sufficiently safe
S V1 but V2
S=journalist
V1 n1=view nuclear power stations as
But 對等連接詞
V2=think
根據平衡對稱 nuclear power stations =they
不會是主詞 journalists
原本也寫E 但是思考一下 就有上面的想法
不對之處 請修正 謝謝

請問本題答案(E)錯在哪裡?

B.R.
Max

in the future..
用would 錯誤

請問用could不也是過去式嗎?
will be and could be 感覺並不平衡對稱
雖然看了詳解~還是覺得(E)would and could be比較好耶~
would除了假設語氣之外,是否也有語氣弱的表示呢?

[uniqueben]

一開始看到選項，就覺得D選項的they會有代替誰的問題，
按句意應該是指nuclear power stations，
所以我是選E。
可是看了大家的討論，似乎沒有一個很確定的答案或解釋...

[sweetymanman]

i support the answer is "D"

理由一： will be or could be 應該比 would or could be 好
理由和小昱大大一樣，我想be 應該不能提公因式

理由二：我覺得這裡的they應該很清楚
整個句子的複數名詞只有 international journalists 和 nuclear power stations 但是international journalists不可能be made sufficiently safe in the future 所以我覺得，一定這裡的代名詞they一定是指nuclear power stations

以上

提供自己的想法，當作參考喔

[dibert8]

Oxford
would, modal verb
used as the past form of will when reporting what sd has said or thought
She asked if I would help.
used for talking about the result of an event
Hurry up! It would be a shame to miss the beginning of the play.
used for saying what you want to happen
I wish you would be quiet for a moment.

could, modal verb
used as the past tense of can
She said that she couldn't come.
used to show that sth is or might be possible
I could do it now, if you like.

would 似乎多用於表達意願以及有預期事件要發生的情況. could 比較傾向表達可能性. 蠻符合前面christina的說法,"could是用來表可能發生的事,would是應該會發生的事"
the power stations would be made sufficiently safe in the future 言下之意, 安全的核電廠是出自作者的意願,句意並不合理.
依此, the power stations would be made sufficiently safe 言下之意, 安全的核電廠是出自作者的意願,句意並不合理.

另外,ETS經常強調對稱的觀點. but 前後結構要對稱: think that they will be or could be made sufficiently safe 跟 view nuclear power stations as unsafe 要對稱, 因此 they 就對到了 nuclear power stations (think 的對象 vs view 的對象)

另外,OG10有一題,說明would不能用於未來式:
161. A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction of the caribou into northern Minnesota would tail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more numerous than one wolf for every 39 square miles.
(A) would fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more numerous than
(B) would fail provided the density of the timber wolf population in that region is more than
(C) should fail if the timber wolf density in that region was greater than
(D) will fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is greater than
(E) will fail if the timber wolf density in that region were more numerous than



Answer : (D)
D, the best choice, uses a correct sequence of present and future indicative verb forms--predicts, will fail, and is--in the three related clauses. Density, an abstract "mass" noun, is logically construed with greater than. In A and B, would fail disagrees with the other verbs in tense and mood.
