Unlike most severance packages, which require workers to stay until the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package even if they find a new job before they are terminated.
the last day scheduled to collect, workers at the automobile company are eligible for its severance package
the last day they are scheduled to collect, workers are eligible for the automobile company's severance package
their last scheduled day to collect, the automobile company offers its severance package to workers
their last scheduled day in order to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers
the last day that they are scheduled to collect, the automobile company's severance package is available to workers
题目分析:
本题主要的难度在于选项(D)和选项(E)的判断。题目的意思是:
不像是一般的遣散费(这种遣散费需要工人到最后的约定时间才能拿钱),汽车公司的遣散费是可以随时提供给工人的即便是他们在终止时间前找到了个新的工作。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象有误。应该对比的是两种package,而不是正常的员工合同和某种公司的员工。
B选项:比较对象错误同选项(A)。
C选项:比较对象有误。应该对比的是两种package,而不是正常的员工合同和某种公司。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:后置定语从句that they are scheduled to collect需改为前置定语scheduled。 这是因为,通常,后置定语描述的是名词的暂时属性,前置定语描述的是名词的永久属性或固有属性,例如:
**a sleeping boy
a boy who is sleeping
只有第二个例子是正确的,因为“睡觉”是男孩的暂时属性,不能永久睡(睡美人用的是a sleeping beauty,这很好理解,因为睡美人几乎是永久睡觉的,自然睡觉变成了永久属性)。又例如:
a sleeping bag
**a bag that is sleeping
只有第一个例子是正确的。“睡袋”中的“睡”当然是永久属性。用之于本题,显然地,遣散费要求工人在“最后一天”才能领取,这个最后一天肯定是签约的时候早就规定好的(这个意思是,一开始肯定没想着会遣散工人,后来必须要裁员了,只能付遣散费了,但是有条件,必须在这里工作到合同里规定的最后一天才能拿到遣散费),因此,scheduled必然是day的固有属性。
But in (E), we have "most severance packages... require workers to stay until the last day that they are scheduled to collect." Literally, this seems to be saying that workers have to stay until the last day that they are scheduled to collect their paychecks -- not necessarily the last day that they're scheduled to work.
So the only difference between (D) and (E) is that first part of the underlined portion, and we have to be literal as all hell about figuring out what, exactly, each of them means. In (D), we have: "most severance packages... require workers to stay until their last scheduled day in order to collect." That seems OK, I guess. "Their last schedule day" presumably refers to the workers' last scheduled day of work -- and that makes perfect sense.
sleeping beauty... a boy who sleeps ;
后置定语描述的是名词的暂时属性,前置定语描述的是名词的永久属性或固有属性
纠结在D和E,凭感觉选了D。
学习了:后置定语描述的是名词的暂时属性,前置定语描述的是名词的永久属性或固有属性,
两个选项纠结的时候有个好办法是带回原文联系上下文来区分
主要问题是:collect的对象不对
D says that some severance packages require workers to stay at the company until the last scheduled day they're supposed to work (say, next Friday) or they don't get their severance (which may get paid that day or at some point in the future - we don't know). E says that some severance packages require workers to stay until the day that they are scheduled to get their money - in other words, they stay until, say, next Friday which is the day that they are actually paid.
错选E
前置永久,后置暂时,例子:a sleeping beauty, a sleeping bag; a boy who is sleeping
E选项,that they are scheduled to collect是last day的后置定语,修饰last day,语义就变成了"collect last day"而不是collect packages.
考察了状语和定语的差别。
固然属性前置,暂时属性后置
固然属性前置,暂时属性后置
老觉得in order to那里比较赘余,但确实scheduled day更正确。仔细看E的讲解
后置定语描述的是名词的暂时属性,前置定语描述的是名词的永久属性或固有属性,
可否这样理解:scheduled day,是这一天是scheduled;the day that they are shceduled,变成workers是scheduled的了。而schedule只能针对时间?
定语从句可以还原成正常语序判断是否合乎逻辑
1。day和time定从一般是when引导
用that变成collect day,应该是collect遣散费
2。
E选项:后置定语从句that they are scheduled to collect需改为前置定语scheduled day。 这是因为,通常,后置定语描述的是名词的暂时属性,前置定语描述的是名词的永久属性或固有属性
**a sleeping boy
a boy who is sleeping
a sleeping bag
**a bag that is sleeping
工作到合同里规定的最后一天才能拿到遣散费),因此,scheduled必然是day的固有属性。
E选项把带回从句说不通,collect的不是severance package!
前后文比较结构,比较对象应该一致。对比较结构应该敏感。
D E的比较,从句的the last day 带回从句则意思错误
day和time定从一般是when引导,from RON
