According to United States census data, while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home.
while there was about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home
there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home in 1975; in 2000, almost two-thirds of those mothers were employed outside the home
in 1975 about one-third of mothers with young children worked outside the home; in 2000, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home
even though in 1975 there were about one-third of mothers with young children who worked outside the home, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000
with about one-third of mothers with young children working outside the home in 1975, almost two-thirds of such mothers were employed outside the home in 2000
such mothers那样的妈妈
those mothers那些妈妈
显然前者更准确
a working outside我觉得修饰mothers 是没问题的 错在while上了 当。。。的时候,这个不是恰当的逻辑关系
b worked修饰孩子
deven though 逻辑不对的同时 worked修饰孩子
e with作状语 逻辑不对
对比的是母亲外出工作的情况
A working修饰的儿女
B worked修饰儿女
C 正确
D work 修饰儿女
E working 修饰儿女
这里such mother 和those mother的区别在哪里?
The sentence intends to say that in 1975, certain number of mothers with small kids went out of house to work. However, use of the verb-ing modifier working outside the home in 1975 suggests that the data showed that there were a certain number of such mothers. The fact they went out of house to work appears just as additional information. Hence, this usage distorts the intended meaning.
;有平行的要求
1. 本句意在对比1975年的数据和2000年的数据,并没有要在它们之间建立逻辑关系。
原句中,while 有点儿类似汉语的“而”。“而”可以用来表达两者之间的对比,不带转折语气。
D, even though 表达了强烈的转折关系,但是这两者之间其实并不存在这种关系。
E, with 结构做状语,表示“同时”,显然这两个数据之间并不具备这样的逻辑联系。
2. There be 句型的使用要谨慎,
A 选项中,there be 的出现完全多余,因为 there was one-third of mothers working outside the home, 和 one-third o mother working outside the home 表达的意思完全是一样的。
而B,D选项中,there be 句型的出现不仅使句子变得冗长,而且导致将后面的 mother work 变成了 mother who worked 定语从句,但是因为定语从句和 mother 之间有了with young children 做修饰语,导致定语从句修饰歧义。
E选项:with young children working outside the home,修饰错位
平行结构
A: there was有问题,复数;there was, 导致working outside the home in 1975修饰children
B:there were多余,一是与下面的部分不平行,二是修饰语的错位,导致worked outside the home in 1975修饰children
D 选项:there were多余,导致worked outside the home in 1975修饰children
E选项:with young children working outside the home,修饰错位
