同學來訊修辭問題回答
At the end of 2001, motion picture industry representatives said that there were about a million copies of Hollywood movies available {online and expected privacy to increase with high-speed Internet connections that become more widely available.}
A. online and expected privacy to increase with high-speed Internet connections that
become more widely available
E. online, and that they expected privacy to increase as high-speed Internet
connections became more widely available
想請問A選項中的錯誤點除了expected+privacy輸給E的expect+整件事外,有無平行上的問題:(個人認為是沒有,雖然在講義上有說到副詞片語/子句修飾關係會被"逗號"或是that擋住,但平行應該不會)
motion picture industry representatives said that....
motion picture industry representatives expected...
大陸人認為是有 因為被that擋住,所以平行關係變成
there were about a million copies
there expected (錯誤,因為there後面不能加動作)
另外,E選項用as+子句表廣義比較,但是否有可比性的問題:
也就是:盜版提升跟網路普及可以比嗎?(還是因為是廣義比較所以沒差),謝謝
A2:
A/E都是expected privacy,所以並不存在所謂的E有expect+整件事的優劣之分,要比也是E選項是said that ..., and that兩個名詞子句平衡比較漂亮。
另外關於平行,若是A要平衡,expected只會平衡到were這個be動詞,這樣就會變成there這個虛字做expected邏輯主語,但是虛字只會配be動詞,無法做expected動作,所以刪除。
為後這裡的as應該是when表達條件的含義,並不是類比,另外類比和比較結構不同,除了Like A, B + V要看可比性外,as類比子句不需要看可比性。
