[問題] OG 212

[evelight]

212.
The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of its distribution system.

(A) aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving
(B) aimed at the decreasing of operating costs and to improve
(C) aiming at the decreasing of operating costs and improving
(D) the aim of which is the decreasing of operating costs and improving
(E) with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

不好意思，我又來問問題了

請教各位高手
答案是A，但為什麼用aimed而不是aiming呢？
原句還原難道不是a policy which aims at...

[Pufa]

不管是aimed或是aims都可以，
aimed
http://www.geocities.com/iraqinfo/sanct ... aimed.html
aims
http://news.com.com/2100-1040-230907.html?legacy=cnet

BCDE是因為有其他錯誤所以不選。

先謝謝你的回應
我知道BCDE有錯誤，我答案也是選A，只是覺得A也有問題。 ^^;

因為OG說A: offers an adjective phrase unequivocally modifying policy
意思是這裡有各形容詞子句修飾policy。只是經過簡化，動詞變成分詞: 主動→Ving，被動→pp。
就算原句是policy which aimed at...，簡化後還是變成aiming呀

我的問題是，A選項使用被動pp在句意上不會有點怪怪的麼？

查了一下 Collins 字典

if an action or plan is aimed at achieving something, it is intended or planned to achieve it.

例: The new measures are aimed at tightening existing sanction.

if you aim a weapon or object at something or someone, you point it toward them before firing or throwing it.

例:He was aiming the rifle at Wade

感覺 aim at 主動跟被動意思不太依樣 參考一下

小弟的淺見以為
該句原句應為
policy which was aimed at....... 簡化之後就成了Ａ的aimed了
因為policy本身不會aim at......是被aim at 所以用被動

懂了....感謝 ^^

From Longman:
The pilot was aiming for the runway but came down in a nearby field.

美加莫老大的說法是: aim 主被動意思是一樣的

我想問(E)選項 with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve

如果我把片語改成 with the aim of 這片語是對的

但是OG10的解釋有說 Also, with the aim... improve can easily be construed as referring to the Baldrick Manufac­turing Company and so does not refer unequivocally to policy.

請問這是啥意思??我只會把它當形容詞優勢前面的policy 不會想到他所說的

還有

In E, the infinitives to decrease and to improve, while parallel, are less idiomatic than the prepositional phrase of decreasing ... and improving in modifying the noun aim
我也不懂 是說分詞平行比不定詞好嗎

[julanlu808]

(E) The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy with the aim to decrease operating costs and to improve the efficiency of its distribution system.

(1) OG的意思是用"with the aim....."會有修飾岐義的問題 (可修飾 The Baldrick Company,也可修飾 the policy)

(2) OG的意思是,當要修飾名詞時,用介詞片語比用不定詞好~
簡單來說就是....
of + Ving --->修飾名詞
to + V------->修飾動詞
在E裡,aim當名詞用,所以用of + Ving較優!

OG的意思是用"with the aim....."會有修飾岐義的問題 (可修飾 The Baldrick Company,也可修飾 the policy)


可修飾 The Baldrick Company 我就是想問怎麼可以修飾主詞??? 而且它跟主詞離那麼遠 如果修是主詞要怎麼翻譯阿

[dibert8]

這是 GMAT 特喜歡的考題.在句尾的副詞要特別小心,經常有修飾歧異:可以修飾最近的字,也可以修飾全句(句子主角當然是主詞囉).這類題多留意總結就不難歸納,但很容易疏忽!!

[lovekyoko]

對不起 我還是不懂 我比較笨

板主說 在句尾的副詞要特別小心,經常有修飾歧異 但是這 with the aim... improve 是副詞嗎??他不是介詞片語嗎??

而且如果修是主詞要怎麼翻譯阿????

可不可以在跟我說還有哪一題是同樣的情況我去比較一下 感恩

我還有個問題 (c)的解答上面有說 Using the before decreasing creates a gerund 是啥意思

另外比較一下OG(11th)111 or OG(10th)50 就是dibert8所說的 在句尾的副詞要特別小心,經常有修飾歧異:可以修飾最近的字

但是
A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500; an adult with such vision would be deemed legally blind.

他就是修飾主詞 可是這題放在womb不會造成ambiguously嗎??????
莫老師是說這是輕重問題 正確句子應該是
A baby with a rudimentary sense of vision would be rated about 20/500 emerges from the darkness of the womb 那我想請問
可是考試的時候如果沒有想到輕重問題把句子還原要怎樣可以避免錯誤

[dibert8]

我還有個問題 (c)的解答上面有說 Using the before decreasing creates a gerund 是啥意思

decreasing 前面加 the 變成名詞,原來的句意是動詞.
