86.

An international team of astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to have 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet.

(A) astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to have 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter
(B) astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to be 5 to 15 times Jupiter's mass
(C) astronomers is working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain, having detected at least 18 huge gas spheres that are estimated at 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter
(D) astronomers, working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain, and has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated at 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter
(E) astronomers, working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain, has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres they have estimated to be 5 to 15 times Jupiter's mass




Ans: A

(C) (D) (E) 主要句意改變,不選.
可是答案是 estimeated to have (A)? gas spheres 會 to have mass? 不是 estimeated to be (B) 嗎?

[dibert8]

劃等號看看: gas spheres = Jupiter's mass ?
是這樣排除 (B) 嗎?

A) astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to have 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter
(B) astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to be 5 to 15 times Jupiter's mass

我沒有選(B)因為被比較的是"mass"--the mass of the 18 huge gas spheres and the mass of Jupiter;
我覺得如果把(B)改成at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to be 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter可能會比較順

[dibert8]

果真是!
(B) mass 不能與 Jupiter 同位; 改成 the mass of Jupiter 才對

[alva0930]

我排除(B)的理由是最後的the solar system's largest planet

(A)…the mass of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet
(B)…Jupiter's mass, the solar system's largest planet

(A)可明顯看出the solar system's largest planet與Jupiter同位
(B)看起來像是the solar system's largest planet與mass同位

[hwatai]

這題(B)如果把同位語問題拿掉，變成：

An international team of astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to be 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet.

就實在太刁了

A is estimated to be B 隱藏著 A = B 的概念

(B) astronomers working at telescopes in the Canary Islands and Spain has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to be 5 to 15 times Jupiter's mass

我沒有選(B)因為被比較的是"mass"--the mass of the 18 huge gas spheres and the mass of Jupiter;
我覺得如果把(B)改成at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to be 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter可能會比較順

我不能夠理解 mass of the Jupiter跟 Jupiter's mass有什麼差別耶
都是mass啊 的確 spheres不能和mass比較
但是改成 the mass of the Jupiter就可以了嗎????

另外,我知道spheres estimated to be Jupiter's mass
有隱含 spheres = Jupiter's mass 的意思
那C選項的gas spheres that are estimated at 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter
為什麼也有隱含spheres = Jupiter's mass 的意思啊?
請指教 謝謝

[dibert8]

mass of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet => planet 必須是 Jupiter
Jupiter's mass, the solar system's largest planet => mass 不是 planet

(C) ... gas spheres that are estimated at 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter
at + 度量衡 (e.g. 1 Kg); 5 to 15 times 倍數不是度量衡.

請問C選項,解答說gas spheres和the mass of Jupiter不對應,無法進行比較
那這樣正確答案A不也犯同樣的錯誤??

請各位指導!

be estimated to be/have both you can find in Longman, and you also can get estimate sth at sth

(A) ...gas spheres estimated to have 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter

(C) ...gas spheres that are estimated at 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter

(A) 或無對應，因它是用 be estimated to have
(C) estimate sth at sth 則是找不到被動的例句

請問可以再解釋一下（A）嗎？不太明白為什麼用estimated to have就可以避免掉不同類相比的問題？

另外，be estimated to have跟be estimated to be是一樣的意思嗎？（看這位樓主從朗文查到的解釋似乎是一樣的）

謝謝！

[dibert8]

這句其實沒有同類相比的問題,因為根本沒有比較啊!
estimated to have...是在修飾gas spheres,修飾而已啦.修飾就是形容它,不是和它比較哦!
盡量抓出考的重點,這一題考同位語. estimated to have 或 estimated to be 意思一樣沒關係啦!
