题目分析:
在一个演讲中,FR的主席描绘了一个乐观的经济形势,暗示投资者:央行在近期并不会降低利率
选项分析:
A选项:suggesting是伴随状语修饰“paint”,逻辑主语是chairman;investors后面省略了“that”,这并没有问题;但in the near future说明时态用“正在进行式”并不合适。并不能说“在未来,央行现在正在降低利率”
B选项:正确
C选项:首先,伴随状语变成了定语从句。suggest的发出者变成了picture,但逻辑上应该是“主席暗示了投资者,而不是经济形势暗示”;其次,to investors在这里变成了“被降低”的状语,成了“利率被降低这件事 是对于投资者来说”,应该是“对投资者暗示”
D选项:with the suggestion是状语修饰paint,意思是“描绘经济形势的同时,带着一个建议”;其次,in the near future变成了investor的定语,“未来的投资者”,但应该是“未来会降低利率”
E选项:字面意思:描绘经济形势的同时,带着一个建议,什么样的建议呢?对投资者的建议;什么样的投资者呢?利率的投资者;什么样的利率呢?会被央行降低的利率。这句话变成了层层定语修饰前一个名词,但核心意思应该是一件事(央行要降低利率),而不是一个词(suggestion)
如A,B所写为伴随状语,主语为chairman。在A中,chairman suggest the central bank,句意有误。应为suggest 一件事,故排除A
C是定从,先行词为economy,显然economy不能发出suggest这个动作,排除
D与E:句意体现为chairman 带着一个suggestion,但是题意应为chairman向投资者做建议,故排除
B correct
