By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary
powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.
(A) enabling it to withhold from the public
(B) for it to withhold from the public
(C) for withholding disclosure to the public of
(D) that enable them to withhold from public disclosure
(E) that they can withhold public disclosure of

Answer to Question 222
Choice A is best: enabling ... clearly modifies powers, it refers logically and grammatically to the Central
Intelligence Agency, and to withhold from the public is concisely and idiomatically phrased. In choices B and
C, the preposition for is used unidiomatically in place of the "-ing" modifier to introduce the phrase describing
powers. In choices C, D, and E, withholding)... disclosure is wordy and imprecise, since it is really the
identities that are to be withheld. The plural pronouns them in D and they in E do not agree with the singular
Agency, and that in E mistakenly introduces a new independent clause rather than a modifying phrase for
powers.

C, the preposition for is used unidiomatically in place of the "-ing" modifier to introduce the phrase describing
powers

到底是要表達甚麼阿?

By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers enabling it to withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.

(A) enabling it to withhold from the public
(B) for it to withhold from the public

it 指 agency,
因為 awarded "discretionary powers" 使得他們可以 withold from the public....

若用for的話則表
因為 awarded "discretionary powers" 為了 withold from the public?

這兩句的意思有些不同...我想enable 不可以和 for 替換

請大家看是否有這意味?

enable
to make it possible for someone to do something, or for something to happen
enable somebody/something to do something
The loan enabled Jan to buy the house.

There are plans to enlarge the runway to enable jumbo jets to land.

- enabler noun [countable]

for (INTENDED FOR)
preposition
intended to be given to:
There's a phone message for you.
I'd better buy something for the new baby.
There's a prize for the fastest three runners in each category

金剛 魚偷懶沒把妳的解釋看完, 不過 ,應該不能一蓋而論吧

the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers [highlight=yellow]enabling it to [/highlight]~

= the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers which enable it to ~

句中的it 混清楚明白的是Central Intelligence Agency

反之,By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powersfor it to~ 這裡的it 不若(A)可清楚的判別,這才是主因吧 我想 :)

In choices B and
C, the preposition for is used unidiomatically in place of the "-ing" modifier to introduce the phrase describing
powers

原來我以前的觀念錯了....好險逛到這題。
不過字典裡確實有這用法。
Longman
for
used to say what the purpose of an object, action etc is
for doing something
1. a knife for cutting bread
2. What did you do that for? I've bought him a watch for his birthday. the 3. documents prepared for his defence

ETS不喜歡用for doing來表達某物的目的。

[訪客]

同意金剛的說法
不過我認為這題最難的不是B跟C的抉擇
而是你必須根據句意,知道it所代表的是agency
我覺得時間會浪費在這邊
每次做到這種代名詞,有時都會花個好半天的

慣用法。

我想題目的重點在於A答案是解釋 broad discretionary
powers的功用吧 所以才會說 In choices B and C, the preposition for is used unidiomatically in place of the "-ing" modifier to introduce the phrase describing powers.
要解釋的是power

用for 意思會變的不一樣,感覺比較像是整句話的目的

我覺得(b)選項錯的原因是it=withhold的執行者=power的執行者
it 要做不定詞的主詞則不可與原題主詞相同，所以b選項錯，供大家參考

我想請問一下withhold的用法
一班是withhold sth from sb/st
就像是withhold apples from students(不發給學生蘋果)
那可以變成 withhold from students apples嗎? 這2個等於嗎?
因為在這句當中withhold from the public the identities of its sources of intelligence information.很像withhold from students apples
的感覺..不知道是不是我誤會了..拜託大家了

我目前暫時找不到例子，不過從答案看來：
withhold B from A = withhold A B
有很多類似的用法。

withhold sth from sb/st是正確的用法沒錯

Withhold…from the public應該是倒裝結構，因為後面句子太長，原句應該是：withhold the identities of its sources of intelligence information from the public 意思是：保留自己的intelligence 資訊不用公眾所知道

希望有幫助 8-|

[copycat]

謝謝..我後來和朋友討論也是因為得到應該是句子太長所以移到後面去避免頭重腳輕..和我在前面所舉的蘋果的用法在蘋果里那樣的到中應該是不對的..withhold B from A 應該不等於 withhold A B 才對 ....前者才是正確用法 ...倒裝應該是因為句子太長所致..謝謝熱心回答的人

[revival]

我想問一個笨笨的問題^^"
為什麼在A中的it 可以比B更清楚指出是代替哪一個名詞呢 ?
因為前面都是兩個名詞阿 謝謝回答喔^^

the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers [highlight=yellow]enabling it to [/highlight]~

= the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powers which enable it to ~

句中的it 混清楚明白的是Central Intelligence Agency

反之,By a vote of 9 to 0, the Supreme Court awarded the Central Intelligence Agency broad discretionary powersfor it to~ 這裡的it 不若(A)可清楚的判別,這才是
主因吧 我想 :)[/quote]
