because of / Due to / With + N + Ving 的用法主要不好的原因是 - 如此使用失去講解整個因果關係的結構 GMAT 的偏好性是動詞 > 名詞，句子 > 名詞子句基本上如果題目出現 since/because + N + V because of / Due to / With + N + Ving 絕對有超過八成的機率是前者正確如果你跟我一樣修辭沒有下面兩位高手強那可以直接當考點來做至少我實際考試時我的確用了這個方法作了兩題拿了還不差的分數即使是前文舉的例子: Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold 原文和 Manhattan 解釋在此，就不全貼上了: http://ppt.cc/_Di7 基本上其他選項也都是使用 because of / Due to / With + N + Ving 的架構唯一不是的 (C) 選項是連文法都錯誤我相信也不會有人選以一般台灣考生而言要判斷 because of + N + Ving 而這個 N 或是 V 哪個是主要的因果主題那是太難了總結: N + Ving 當原因的句子有可能對但機率小且幾乎很少看過 N + V 的用法比不上 N + Ving 的答案解釋 ※ 引述《danyuchn (Javy)》之銘言： : ※ 引述《A2GMAT (A兔GMAT)》之銘言： : : whereas在官方版的解釋上是說副詞子句和主要子句盡量對稱（但不強迫）, 不過這邊給你 : : 一個技巧, 通常考對比時whereas常當正確答案！ : : 這題我會先刪掉c, 因為c的cooking with spices是表動作的動名詞（working verb）, : : 不過like/unlike後面接的名詞通常是一般性名詞, 表動作動名詞重點是在表動作, 在 : : gmat的標準英文中, 想表動作請用子句, 也就是whereas/although/but S+V+O : 補充一下： : 這也就是我們通常看到because of + N + Ving會是GMAT較不偏好用法的原因 : 比如此OG題： : In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza : were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair [due to moisture exhaled bv : tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the : stone was crystallizing] and fungus was growing on the walls. : (D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity : within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize : (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them : to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing : D選項的Ving有修飾tourists的歧義， : 就算是because of moisture raising ... : 也會形成句意斷裂：because of moisture (which raised...) : 「因為濕氣」(升高濕度變成了只修飾moisture的成份) : 而完整的意思應該是「因為潮濕升高濕氣(這個動作)」 : OG解釋： : the entire construction is awkward, wordy, and ambiguous : 正確選項E則用because子句，完整的「潮濕升高溼氣」的動作表原因。 : 同理Prep題目供你參考： : [Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as mobile : phones are increasingly common, many people] now using their mobile phones to : make calls across a wide region at night and on weekends, when numerous : wireless companies provide unlimited airtime for a relatively small monthly : fee. : 錯誤選項 : A. Because of wireless service costs plummeting in the last year, and as : mobile phones are increasingly common, many people : 正解 : D. With the cost of wireless service plummeting in the last year and mobile : phones becoming increasingly common, many people are : 不過有一個地方要小心： : (GWD-19-Q18) : [On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by : imprisonment that a United States citizen hold] gold in the form of bullion or : coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to : surrender all of the gold they had brought with them. : 正確選項D： : Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment : for a United States citizen to hold : 這裡的law本身是核心原因，因此making就算修飾law也不會有句意斷裂的問題。 : 供您參考。 : Dustin -- 每月專修及機經家教課程幫助各位複習數學更有效率更確實 GMAT 留學考試 - 勇闖夢想的新鮮人 http://ndxica.pixnet.net/blog -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.136.186.117 ※ 編輯: dounts 來自: 220.136.186.117 (09/25 09:50)
