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。
选项E that 按语法结构,同时作为collect的宾语。that指代last day不合逻辑,应该是collect packages.
D的in order to collect——这部分理解不了。
找了一些例句in order to 的发出动作都是人。——这里D选项的in order to 的发出动作主体是workers??语法结构上感觉分不清。
