SC885 sectionA-5

[蛙蛙]

With its abundance of noun infectlions, Icelandic is one of several Germanic languages that is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English.

(A) is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English

(B) are compact when they are written, but they can lengthen considerably when they are translated in English

(C) is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when being translated into English

(D) are compact when written but can lengthen considerably in English translation

(E) is compact when it is written but can lengthen considerably when translated in English

答對是D

請問一下 that 子句是形容 languages 嗎?? 如果是這樣的話 整句話不就變成 : several Germanic languages 被翻譯成English了....可是整題看起來好像是在描述Icelandic阿???

可不可以請網站各位大大教一下呢

並不衝突阿
冰島文是數支可以被英文翻得很長的日耳曼語言之一
冰島文是日耳曼文集合中的一個

樓主卡在那裡呢

我做這一題的時候選(A)

(A) is compact when written but can lengthen considerably when translated into English

(D) are compact when written but can lengthen considerably in English translation

可是我不懂為什麼(D)會比(A)好呢?
我覺得(A)感覺上比較平衡啊?
ex: "when written" v.s. "when translated"
請前輩指點我一下, thank you

1. 遇到 N1 of N2 that... 在 GMAT 裡, that 大多 (~80%) 修飾它緊鄰的名詞 N2
2. when 當...時;當譯成英文時才冗長? 應該是它的英文翻譯冗長比較合理.所以用 in English translation 修飾 lengthen
