100. Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have begun to enforce statewide bans prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings.
(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
(B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
(C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings
(D) that leaves, brush, and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills
(E) that landfills cannot accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
Choice C is the best answer. Either of the following constructions would be idiomatic here: x forbids y to do z or x prohibits y from doing z. Choices A and B violate idiom; D and E introduce constructions that, in context, are faulty. First of all, both bans that x cannot be done and bans that y cannot do x are unidiomatic formulations. Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is illogical.
在上述解釋的"First of all,...:小弟認為應該莫老師所指的"ban"後應使"must not"較"cannot"來的符合句意!
而小弟主要疑問為"Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is illogical."此句.看了CD後,覺得眾說紛紜,個人意見為"bans"為名詞,而後面的"that..."為that子句表同位,故在選項(D)及(E)中bans後的that子句為說明前面的"bans",that子句中說明禁令為"垃圾掩埋場不能接受樹葉,小樹枝及割下來的草"並無不妥,亦無CD上對此題討論的"雙重否定"而造成不合邏輯的問題,但,OG的解釋卻又著重於對"bans"後面加"否定"的批評---"negative...is illogical"...
想請教各位前輩對此題的看法如何?謝謝!
