题目分析:
略
选项分析:
A选项:本选项中arguing in a treatise for women是现在分词短语,做Discourse on Women的非限定性定语,补全则有:
Discourse on Women argued in a treatise for women to have equal political and legal rights.
在逻辑上,Discourse on Women本身就是一篇论文(a treatise),所以in a treatise是赘余的,即,应该写为:
Discourse on Women argued for women to have equal political and legal rights.
另外,划线部分身后的for changes in the married women’s property laws应该平行的对象是equal political and legal rights,两者需要保持语法上的平行。
另外,请注意,本题的arguing in a treatise for women不能做主句的伴随状语,这是因为,发出argue这个动作的只能是Discourse on Women。Lucretia Mott也是通过这篇论文来argue的,最终argue的依然是这篇论文。又例如:
I used a pen to write a book.
James announced a plan to cut cost.
两个例句的划线部分的主语均为主句的宾语(a pen和plan)。但是,在逻辑上,肯定是“我”用笔写书,“詹姆斯”执行计划来减少成本。类似于这种某人通过一个“媒介”来做某事的,都被认为是“媒介”发出的动作,即,以最终发出动作的名词为标准。
B选项:本选项错误同(A)。
C选项:这道题目的意思是,“Discourse on Women是一个对于女性平等的政治和法律权力和对于婚姻财产法的变化的著作”,因此,具有并列关系的两者是equal political and legal rights和changes,两者应该在语形上保持一致。
D选项:本选项错误同(C)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项的argue从外延和内涵的角度来看,不正确吧。
D 的 advocating 改为 arguing for 是不是更好,因为ing 去动词范畴,表现这个treatise一直具有的一个属性,而不是像E表明在过去argue过
A 的 arguing不能做伴随状语吗?
