Sound can travel through water for enormous distances, prevented from dissipating its acoustic energy as a result of boundaries in the ocean created by water layers of different temperatures and densities.
prevented from dissipating its acoustic energy as a result of
prevented from having its acoustic energy dissipated by
its acoustic energy prevented from dissipating by
its acoustic energy prevented from being dissipated as a result of
preventing its acoustic energy from dissipating by
注意倒装:acoustic energy prevented from dissipating by...等于boundary prevent acoustic energy from dissipating.
sound不能prevent它声能的分散E out,也不是被prevent from声能分散的宾语,AB out
dissipate的主语也不是sound,因此用了ing无主语的形式
先把原句还原一下:当dissipate 是一个不及物动词:1)boundaries prevent its acoustic energy from dissipating当dissipate 是一个及物动词:2)boundaries prevent sound from dissipating its acoustic energy.把1)改到装:its acoustic energy is prevent from dissipating把2)改到装:its acoustic energy is prevent from being dissipated
Dissipating is not a transitive verb, 不及物动词后不能直接跟有动作的对象(即宾语)。若不及物动词后要跟宾语,必须先在其后添加上某个介词,如to,of, at后方可跟上宾语
找出intended meaning
A/B选项的意思是“sound be prevented from dissipating”,这在逻辑意义上错误,不是sound be prevented from dissipating,而是the energy of sound be prevented from dissipating。排除A/B。E选项表达的是sound prevent its acoustic energy from dissipating,逻辑意思错误,而应是boundaries prevent its acoustic energy from dissipating。排除E。C/D选项是独立主格结构with + 名词 + done + 介词,此处省略with。D选项being多余,且as a result of用法出错,即不是boundaries的结果保护了acoustic energy。排除D。正确选项C。
prevent的动作发出者是boundaries in the ocean, 不是sound
