实例题目:
Published in Harlem, the owner and editor of The Messenger were two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader.
(A) Published in Harlem, the owner and editor of The Messenger were two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader.
(B) Published in Harlem, two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, were the owner and editor of The Messenger.
(C) Published in Harlem, The Messenger was owned and edited by two young journalists, A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, and Chandler Owen.
(D) The Messenger was owned and edited by two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, and published in Harlem.
(E) The owner and editor being two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, The Messenger was published in Harlem.
选项分析:
(A)Published in Harlem, the owner and editor of The Messenger were two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader.
【错误】 修饰成分:“Published in Harlem”不合理地修饰了“the owner and editor of The Messenger”,而语法上无法按本意修饰“The Messenger”。
(B)Published in Harlem, two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, were the owner and editor of The Messenger.
【错误】 修饰成分:见(A)。
(C)Published in Harlem, The Messenger was owned and edited by two young journalists, A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, and Chandler Owen.
【正确】 “Published in Harlem”作定语正确地修饰了“The Messenger”,定语从句“who would later make his reputation as a labor leader”明确地修饰了主编之一“A. Philip Randolph”。
【大意】 在Harlem出版,《The Messenger》被两个年轻的记者拥有和编辑,A. Philip Randolph,一个之后以工人领袖而闻名的人,和Chandler Owen。
(D)The Messenger was owned and edited by two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, and published in Harlem.
【错误】 句子意思:“and published in Harlem”本意上与“owned and edited”平行,但语法上也可以与从句谓语动词“would later make”平行,表意不明确。
(E)The owner and editor being two young journalists, Chandler Owen and A. Philip Randolph, who would later make his reputation as a labor leader, The Messenger was published in Harlem.
【错误】 简洁明了:独立主格“The owner and editor being two young journalists”使用了“being”,但“being”的存在不能添加任何合理含义(去掉“being”后的“The owner and editor two young journalists”完全可以继续作独立主格),因此不具有简洁性。
解题思路:
(A)、(B)修饰关系不合理,排除。
(D)中的平行结构产生了歧义,排除。
使用了“being”的(E)的简洁性逊于(C)。因此选择(C)。
