Re: [SC. ] OG17-720.
※ 引述《newone16 (newone)》之銘言:
: 題目:
: According to a recent study of consumer spending on prescription medications,
: increases in the sales of the 50 drugs that were advertised most heavily
: accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug spending last
: year, the remainder of which came from sales of the 9,850 prescription
: medicines that companies did not advertise or advertised very little.
: (A) heavily accounts for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug
: spending last year, the remainder of which came
: (B) heavily were what accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase
: in drug spending last year; the remainder of the increase coming
: (C) heavily accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug
: spending last year, the remainder of the increase coming
: (D) heavily, accounting for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in drug
: spending last year, while the remainder of the increase came
: (E) heavily, which accounted for almost half of the $20.8 billion increase in
: drug spending last year, with the remainder of it coming

: 想請問
: 1. 關於正確答案(C)選項後面子句的文法問題。
: the remainder of the increase coming from...
: 我的想法是,逗號後面沒有and,所以後面本來就不是一個完整子句,用coming只是將整
: 句話作為前句的修飾。
: 但怎麼念這句都像fragment sentence
: 請問有相似的句子出現在其他題目(用一整句話作為片語修飾前句),或是有這種句型作為
: 正確答案時需要固定留意的地方嗎?
關於這一題,我在去年4月時有用語音錄過一段完整的實戰思路解析:
https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/NsHBeldkeWZOJ832fH27gw
聽完思路解析後,在這邊補充一個簡單易懂的觀念:
N + Ving/Vpp這種「獨立結構」(absolute phrase),
其實跟你平常所看到的「句首/句尾分詞結構」:
「Ving/Vpp...., 主要子句 , Ving....」是同一類。
平常看到的句首/句尾分詞結構,
其實原本是獨立結構N+Ving/Vpp在相同主詞省略後的長相。
如果主詞不同不能省略,則要保留,就會成為N+Ving/Vpp這樣的長相。
(關於這樣的演化,
我在:http://dustingmat.blogspot.tw/2016/08/scwith.html
有詳細說明。)
所以需要留意的地方只有一個:
觀察該結構的意思跟主要句子的語意關係。
請記住:
這種分詞結構放句首都是表前因背景或對主詞補充,
放句尾都是表伴隨結果或對前句補充。
比如這題正確句也是獨立結構,只是放在句首:
His right hand and arm(N) crippled(Vpp) by a sniper's bullet during the
First World War, Horace Pippin(主詞), a Black American painter,
worked(動詞) by holding the brush in his right hand and guiding its
movements with his left.
考試時遇到這種N+Ving/Vpp結構,檢查的思路應該是:
1. 「His right hand and arm crippled by a sniper's bullet during the
First World War」讀懂語意:右手被炸爛了。
2. 讀懂主句語意:用一隻手協助另一隻手作畫。
3. 由於獨立結構放在句首,檢查是否表前因背景或補充:
右手被炸爛「所以」用一隻手協助另一隻手作畫。
哦!合理!所以這裡可以用獨立結構。
有任何問題,歡迎來信討論哦
