[url]Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete[/url] one day may be partners the next.

A. Whereas lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, in the Internet industry they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete
B. Although the lines of competition are clearly defined in industries that are more established, they are blurred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as competing companies
C. The lines of competition are clearly defined in the more established industries, unlike the Internet where they are blurred and indistinct, as companies that compete
D. Unlike more established industries, where the lines of competition are clearly defined, they are burred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as companies that compete
E. Unlike more established industries, with clearly defined lines of competition, those of the Internet industry are blurred and indistinct, as competing companies

答案B
請問: B的competing companies one day may be partners the next是什麼句型?
請問: A除了,後應直接接主詞they而不是in the Internet industry外，還有什麼錯誤?

[juyu]

我猜可能是後面的as...吧, 因為好像(B)的as...的比較對稱和清楚..
competing companies對稱partners

答案B

我認為這題的答案是A.
more established industries比industries that are more established子句好.
另外companies that compete one day may be partners the next比competing companiesone day may be partners the next好,因為句意是"廠商今日競爭有可能明日成為夥伴",
而不是"今日的競爭廠商有可能成為明日夥伴",句意怪!!
最後,lines有指定就錯了,因為在established industries的lines跟Internet industry的lines是不一樣的,所以lines不可有指定.

看有沒有人跟我 想法雷同?

S兄 我挺你~
本題CD上面目前尚屬爭議題
老管給的是B CD上頭有個人解釋了大牛說法認為是A

但我個人也覺得句意凌駕於平衡 or 簡潔之上
lines比 the lines好 competing這個形容詞用在B這邊也怪

[pamelatsai]

支持A

[ariesmilla]

我看到B)industries that are more established就刪掉了,總覺得沒有more established industries來的簡潔...
但是有一個小問題...這邊的establish是動詞..如果用that修飾表被動是不是比放在前面好呢?

再考慮到B的as competing companies one day may be partners the next 時我猶豫了A 跟B很久..
A的說法 companies that compete one day... compete這邊可以單獨使用嗎?Longman的解釋後面都還會加介系辭against/for/with... ,
或者用competing compines....所以即使B的前面有點問題，我還是贊成B好(我本來也是選A的拉....)

[traveler]

more established industries 是被廣泛使用的...所以問題不是出在這...甚至因為更簡潔而有加分效果

另外一點, 我認為 'companies that compete one day may be partners the next' 比 ' competing companies one day may be partners the next' 要好

[littlebi]

可是我查了一下字典
compete這個字好像從來沒有單獨出現過也
一定要加上
for/with/against
如此compete才有意義
不然單單說compete會不知到你要跟誰比較 在那個領域比較 要比較什麼項目吧？

不知道這個說法對嗎？？
請指教

[ariesmilla]

你查的字典應該跟我一樣吧，呵呵....

(來亂的....)

[traveler]

請參考這一段話
"The biggest benefit to companies, whether they are start-up or established, is 'competition' - the idea that companies can compete one day and cooperate the next. That is really what made Silicon Valley great."

compete + 時間....看起來合理

[hvan]

B. Although the lines of competition are clearly defined in industries that are more established, they are blurred and indistinct in the Internet industry, as competing companies


我是這樣想啦：

此句屬對稱平衡：
1. the lines.... -> they....
2. .....in dustries that are more established -> .....in the Internet industry

比 A 的 in the dustry 位置不對稱來的好

參考一下囉 ^^

我認為這題的答案是A.
more established industries比industries that are more established子句好.

而不是"今日的競爭廠商有可能成為明日夥伴",句意怪!!

我原本也是選A
不過後來仔細看了一下每個選項,覺得還是B比較好
總結以下幾點:
1."lines of"+N的用法,就類似"numbers of"+N,這樣的話就變成"很多條的競爭"句意有點怪； "the lines of competition"才能解釋能"競爭的界定",這樣也才能跟後面的"define"吻合


2."competition"本身是uncountable N, (A)選項的"lines of competition are"的主詞是"competition"就不能用 are了, 再往後看,"，"後面的"they"也不能代"competition", 在(B)選項裡,主詞是"the lines",可以代替"，"後面的"they",而且還平衡


3."the more developed industry"我仔細想了很久,覺得"more"的修是可能會不清楚,到底是修飾"developed"還是"industry", 修飾"developed"的話就變成"比較先進或發展較好的工業",修飾"industry"的話就是"比較多的先進或發展較好的工業";再者,OG當中似乎鮮少發現使用"more+Adj+N"的用法,OG當中"more+Adj"比較多是考"more than"的比較(可以參考OG#112針對(B)選項的解釋)


4."compete"確實為不及物動詞,而且在Longman上面查詢"compete"還發現了"competing companies"的解釋:"companies that are trying to be more successful than each other",這樣的解釋放在這個句子更恰當不過了;再者,如果以be V前後要平衡的話,先看"may be"後面是"parners the next",(B)的competing companies(adj+N視為N)也會比(A)的companies that compete one day(N+關代子句,而且是個不完全的子句)來的漂亮

呼
這只是小妹酌見
拿出來跟大家討論討論
(真希望考試的時候也能在短時間內這麼詳細的剖析每個選項呢!呵呵 )

[媽媽教的好]

感謝chocola第3及第4點的解釋
讓我有豁然開朗的感覺

[hccill]

小弟我覺得答案還是A好耶~
各位大大可能忽略了最重要的一點,
選項B是用Although表讓步,而非表對照(whereas)..
實在是有改變句意的嫌疑耶~
再加上不簡潔(more established industries較佳)
以及冠詞問題(line不能指定,因為兩種line是不相同的)
即使真有competing companies這種用法,
還是A比較好吧~

還請指教嚕~

[hsudk]

Agree. 這題答案是A

(B)中的as competing companies one day may be partners the next 出現了兩個時間會產生歧異
